Summary
Grant Williams has spent more than 35 years in global finance across seven major financial centers, from London to Sydney. He had a front-row seat to Japan’s late-1980s bubble and its dramatic collapse, and later worked across New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, and beyond. Grant co-founded Real Vision to bring the most thoughtful voices in investing to a broader audience, and he’s also the longtime author of Things That Make You Go Hmmm…, one of the world’s most widely read financial newsletters. Today, he serves as a senior advisor to Von Greyerz and a portfolio and strategy advisor to Vulpes Investment Management. On this episode of the Elevate Podcast, Grant joined host Robert Glazer for a fascinating conversation about lessons he learned in high-stakes finance, universal leadership philosophies, and more.
