  • Intimate, educational and heartfelt conversations

    Admittedly, I came to this podcast interested in the work of Ben Hunt initially. I was fortunate to attend one of his epsilon connect events and met him, Matt Ziegler and several others from the community and it was a formative experience. I especially enjoy the Intentional Investor series by Matt as I often describe it to others as feeling like I’m being brought into a conversation at a dinner table at somebody’s house and getting to know people who whom I normally wouldn’t have any access to a... more

  • Bring back cursed knowledge

    Though this show is ok overall, I would always get so excited when I saw a new episode of cursed knowledge. Harper was so passionate and knowledgeable and I truly miss it. Please bring it back, it was the highlight of my week 🩷

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Notes on Notes: Free Treasure
Q: What role does first-read feedback play in your process?
First readers are essential; trusted individuals provide blunt, structural, and thematic feedback that guides what to cut and what to develop, often determining whether a section remains part of the final piece.
Notes on Notes: Free Treasure
Q: How do you handle the massive initial draft to arrive at a focused article?
Drop a large, unedited spew, then repeatedly trim and reconfigure, using first readers to identify what actually lands and what needs to go, while preserving the core weight of the argument.
Notes on Notes: Free Treasure
Q: What was the approach to ending the piece and how did you know where to end it?
The ending emerged from the Pete anecdote and Cathedral of the Beloved section; the writer treats the ending as the emotional anchor, selecting a cadence that aligns with the larger themes of time, attention, and communal connection.
The Intentional Investor #58: Jack Boudreau
Q: How did the JPMorgan opportunity come about and why did you go all-in to pursue it?
I chased it relentlessly, taking dozens of super days and leveraging a timely connection through a recruiter; when JPMorgan called, I was willing to be vulnerable, admit I might be behind, and convince them I could contribute regardless of my non-target school background. The moment I realized I had nothing to lose during the interview process, I went all in, which culminated in receiving the offer and having a life-changing realization.
Notes on Notes: I Want It, But I Don't Like It
Q: Where else should listeners look you up and find your work?
All work and updates are on spectramarkets.com, and related content appears on Panoptica and the Epsilon Theory channels.
