Summary

Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley of Top Gun Options & No Fallen Heroes Foundation speaks with Sam about his many interesting lives! Buckley served in the U.S. Navy's elite "Top Gun" flight program (including on 9/11), then left the military to work in the financial markets. He really found his niche in options and made enough in the 2020 downturn to be independently wealthy. Around the same time as finding financial success, Matthew also discovered the healing power of psychedelics and their potential to help struggling first responders - this gave way to his No Fallen Heroes Foundation. Enjoy this interesting conversation on flying, drugs and trading options! Afterwards, Sam & Derek opine on why they haven't dug into options trading until just now thanks to a nudge from Buckley.
