E44: Trailblazers, Heroes, and Crooks with Stephen Foerster

During his first year at Ivey Business School, Brian's career plan changed significantly after taking an Introduction to Finance & Investing course. The insights gained from that class inspired him to pivot from a career in accounting to a focus on finance and investing.

Twenty-five years later, Brian reconnects with Stephen Foerster, the professor who sparked his interest in finance, to discuss Foerster's latest book: "Trailblazers, Heroes, & Crooks: Stories to Make You a Smarter Investor".

Brian and Steve discuss trailblazers Quintus Fabius and Muhammad Ali; heroes Warren Buffett and Harry Markopolos; and crooks Bernie Madoff, Sam Bankman-Fried and Tino DeAngelis; among others. You don't want to miss these stories, which could make you a smarter investor.
