Alright, what's up everyone, we have got a special full length episode for you today on the weekend

edition of the Real Vision Daily Briefing, amazing conversation between the president and CEO

of Rule Investment Media, Rick Rule, and legendary entrepreneur and the chairman of Equinox

Gold Ross Beatty, discussing the difficulty that comes with raising capital for small businesses,

the willingness to adapt when things don't go right and so much more. So sit back and enjoy this one.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Rick Rule, investor and speculator. For Real Vision, I'm delighted to

bring this series to Real Vision viewers. The idea here being to emulate the living legends part

of my old conferences. In living legends, I interviewed serially successful natural resource

entrepreneurs, people who had built multi-billion dollar public companies from standing starts.

The purpose wasn't merely to be congratulatory to these people in terms of their success,

but rather to profile how they built these companies, what lessons they learned in building

these companies, how the lessons that they learned in building these companies made them successful

investors rather than merely entrepreneurs in their own right. But most importantly, how the lessons

that they learned can make you a better investor inside of the natural resource space and outside

of the natural resource space. I'd like to kick off this series by interviewing a man who is at

least figuratively an old friend of mine, Ross Beatty. He informed me that we've done business

together for 36 years, which is a very long time. And Ross has been during that period of time

an immensely successful entrepreneur, also an immensely successful private investor. On top of

that, he's parlayed that success into becoming a very influential philanthropist. And on top of

all that, he is a good friend. I like to say as an investor that I segregate between entrepreneurs

that I've backed. And one way that I segregate is between those who have made me look smart,

like Ross, and those who have made me look stupid, who I may interview in another interview series
