Q&A
What's the most useful business-related book you've ever read?
Four Steps to the Epiphany - Steve Blank
What's your favorite non-business book?
All Quiet on the Western Front - Erich Remarque
If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?
Money isn't an issue.
What words of advice would you give your younger self?
Major in Finance and Economics, take more Art and Philosophy classes, learn to pick up on new trends sooner, learn fundamental analysis of stocks, learn 13f filings, invest in big name spin offs, and start tech company before college.
What's the most creative thing you've ever done?
Noticed a stock offered 60% premiums on Options contracts so I wrote covered calls on margin for a continual increase in buying power ... then my broker stopped me.
Which founders or startups do you most admire?
My approach is unique and I really don't so much galvanize anyone. I'm really not great at dancing, I might be tone deaf so in that same sense I kind of just go do my own thing.
What's your super power?
The ability to materialize ideas from nothing, to see patterns and continuations between generally uncorrelated subjects, to reverse engineer processes and extrapolate existing processes - all of this contributes to forming an actionable vision.
What's the best way for people to get in touch with you?
www.braxxispartners.com or [email protected] ... offer free beer around NYC and I will meet with you... but this does not guarantee investment.
What words of wisdom do you live by?
The position of fuck you. Watch "The Gambler" and you will understand. I'll break it down - create a strong capital base and then take risks from a position of control. Owning your life changes your whole narrative and deals are made with confidence.
What aspects of your work are you most passionate about?
Vision. Similar to Elon Musk and others I think transforming humanity into a space faring species = survival of all species (not just us). I intend to build massive super structures outside Earth's orbit to serve as stepping stones across the galaxy.
What was the most impactful class you took in school?
The most formative events of a person's life are not known to them as they have such an impact it is impossible to reflect on the influence they truly had. Many people can point to an event or time - but I review things as cumulative.
What's something you wish you had done years earlier?
Tech Company to create many products. I was a video game fiend 5 years old and onward and it wasn't until recently I put two and two together.
What's an obstacle you've overcome?
Self perception. I am harder on myself than anyone ever could be. I am also very hard on others.
