Richard Pitt, CEO and PM at BlueAlpha Investment Management, was my special guest on the Investment Community podcast (part 1 of a 2-part conversation). You can listen to the conversation with Richard here.

In this episode, Richard tells:

  • How, as a rookie analyst in a bull market, his first recommendation was a sell. That company (Toco) eventually went bust.
  • What the consequences can be if you focus on performance and accolades rather than risk, especially when market conditions change.
  • How he is increasingly motivated by enabling people to grow, and that his ambition has shifted from making money to the upliftment and empowerment of others.
