TRANSCRIPT

Preston Pysh  00:02

On today’s show we have an incredible guest that’s a household name for anybody in finance, and that’s Mr. Mark Yusko. Mark has an incredible background managing the endowments of the University of North Carolina and Notre Dame. And as you’ll learn in the episode, he had quite the track record, while managing such huge sums of money for those universities. Additionally, Mark has founded and run his own firm for the past 15 years. That’s Morgan Creek Capital Management, where he still manages billions of dollars for other clients. And so without further delay, here’s our interview with the thoughtful Mark Yusko.

Hey, everyone! Welcome to The Investor’s Podcast! I’m your host Preston Pysh, and as always, I’m accompanied by my co-host, Stig Brodersen. And like we said in the introduction, we have Mr. Mark Yusko with us today. And Mark, let me start by saying, why did we wait so long to do this discussion? I’ve been following your Twitter for years at this point, and we talk on Twitter from time to time. And I’m just excited that we’re finally doing this. And all I can say is thanks for making time and coming on the show today.

Mark Yusko  01:30
