Miguel Armaza interviews Howard Lindzon, a seasoned investor, entrepreneur, and founder of StockTwits, the largest social network for investors and traders. Howard is also the founder of Social Leverage, a venture capital firm that has backed great companies like Robinhood and eToro.

Often called "The Larry David of Finance" for his candid, no-nonsense takes on markets and investing, his newsletter and sharp social media commentary have earned him a loyal following among investors and entrepreneurs alike – not for sugar-coating reality, but for calling it exactly as he sees it.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why public market investing experience makes better early-stage investors
His philosophy and approach to missing big opportunities, including Twitter, Zynga, and Carta
The evolution of markets from Web2 to the all-consuming "degenerate economy"
Markets may be rigged, but once you know the rules of the game, you can still win big... and a lot more!
