In this conversation Ian Cassel sits down with Jason Hirschman. Jason Hirschman is on Ian Cassel's Mount Rushmore of private investors. Why? He was a small business owner that parlayed that and some investing success into becoming a full-time private investor, and now manages capital for his family office at Hudson 215 Capital. He is one of the few private investors that has turned a small personal portfolio into a large nine figure portfolio. Jason's investments typically feature high return on invested capital, superior management, and secular growth tailwinds. He focuses on non-resource microcap equities domiciled in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
