| 0:00.0 | On today's show, I sit down with entrepreneur and investor Chris Kowaja to learn about |
| 0:07.7 | why and how he believes you should be investing your emergency fund using the ultimate |
| 0:12.5 | liquidity portfolio strategy. Chris is a Stanford and Harvard graduate who worked at Goldman |
| 0:18.1 | Sachs and Bridgewater Associates, which some of you may recognize |
| 0:22.2 | as this is super investor in one of my favorite investors, Ray Dalio's firm. Chris is also a successful |
| 0:29.0 | entrepreneur, author, and real estate investor. Chris definitely has an impressive background in |
| 0:34.2 | entrepreneurship, investing, and academia. You'll hear just how brilliant he is |
| 0:39.3 | throughout the episode today, and I'm very excited to share our conversation on his unique |

| 1:16.7 | of other experts. So without further delay, let's get into this week's fascinating conversation |
| 1:21.9 | with Chris Kowaja. You're listening to Millennial Investing by the Investors Podcast Network, where your host, Robert Leonard, interview successful entrepreneurs, business leaders and investors to help educate and inspire the millennial generation. |
| 1:54.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome to the show. As always, I'm your host, Robert Leonard. And with me today, I have Chris Kowaja. Welcome to the show, Chris. |
| 2:02.6 | Thanks, Robert. Appreciate you having me on. Let's start the conversation today by talking a bit about your background and how you got to where you are today. |
| 2:11.0 | Okay, so I grew up in Toronto, Canada. I was the son of two immigrants, one of whom was a finance professor. |
| 2:18.4 | And when I was 17, I was in my second last year of high school, but was on track to maybe graduate a year early. |
