What's up, everyone? This is Anthony Pompliano. Most of you know me as Pomp. You're listening to the Pomp podcast, simply the best podcast out there. Let's kick this thing off.

Mario Gabriela is the founder and writer at The Generalist, a new publication that covers the technology industry from idea to IPO.

He previously worked at a number of venture capital firms, including charge ventures and Red Sea Ventures.

In this conversation, we discuss how Mario built the generalists so far, why he enjoys writing so much,

how he has handled a large hedge fund bullying who is threatening him, and his stories on

ant group and audience and wealth. I really enjoyed this conversation with Mario, and I hope you

enjoy it as well. Before we get into the episode, though, I want to quickly talk about our sponsors.

First up is Masterworks. I love these guys. Did you know that 97% of outstanding bonds

yield less than 5%. The average savings account earns a measly 0.5%. With the stock market trading at a

lofty 26x earnings, investors are desperate for an alternative asset class. They've got Bitcoin, but they need other stuff as well, where they can store their hard-earned wealth.

So stocks and bonds just aren't cutting it.

That's where Masterworks comes in.

Masterworks.io lets you buy and sell investments in blue chip art by artists like Banksy, Cause, and Monet. Just like last week, Masterworks

reported a sale of their Banksy masterpiece resulting in a 32% annual return net of fees

to investors in a little over 12 months. That's nearly twice the return of the S&P over the same

period.

So Blue Chip Art is a $1.7 trillion asset class that outperform the S&P by 180% between

2000 and 2018 with almost no correlation to the stock market.

Here's how it works.

Masterworks qualifies paintings with the SEC.

It takes them public through a reggae offering and makes shares available to their 100 plus thousand investors.

So if you are already investing in your IRA every two weeks, make sure to check out masterworks.io.
