Grant Williams is the author of THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM..., host of the Grant Williams Podcast Series, and co-founder of Real Vision. Prior to pioneering the long-form interview format with the most interesting minds in finance, Grant’s career in institutional finance spanned various roles around the world - but started out in a wild-west corner of trading warrants in Tokyo, 1989 - at the peak of the great Japan bubble.
I strongly recommend subscribing to The Grant Williams series of podcasts and his newsletter grant-williams.com - particularly as it relates to his current focus on Japan. As a subscriber myself, I have gotten enormous value out of Grant’s work. Link below for the recent episode from Grant’s podcast with Jesper Koll on Japan, as discussed.
