Welcome to *Becoming An Investor* (the first layer of *Find Fat Fish's Codcast* 🎙️🎶🐡)! Cole (a multi-decade veteran of stock picking & investing) helps Jacob (who runs a barbershop & fight club💈🥊) launch a successful lifetime of investing, as Cole's father did for him🚢🎣

*Find Fat Fish's Mission: "Respect To The Man In The Ice Cream Van"* 🫡🍦 We believe that 80% of the money (or more) will always belong to 20% of the people (or less), but that this should be 20 percent of the people, not twenty people. So we are here to crush preventable stupidity & help elevate the standard of amateur investing, one Finatic at a time: "I am smart enough to find a pick!" "I work because I want to, not because I have to." "I taught my financial advisor a lot! Then fired him." "There's no way I will outlive my money." "I am psyched for The Next Crash." ...These are wins we want to duplicate all around the world 🌎🎣 with amateur investors who have urgency, solvency, and gender-ambiguous balls 🎲🎲 (if that's you, momentum is everything)
