Here's what's coming up on this edition of My Life in Four Traits.

This is not a glamorous business, this is not a clever business, this is not an intellectual business,

it's only to a certain limit, it's about making money.

And if you can keep your eye on that prize, you will make good money and you will do well.

Hello and welcome to this episode of My Life in Four Traits, joining me today is Harry Melandry.

Harry is now an advisor at MI2 Partners and the host of the podcast, The Next Big Trade.

Enjoy the conversation.
