Connor is a fantastic investor and great business thinker. He focuses all his attention on the fundamental unit economics of business, as well as what makes for a lasting competitive advantage.

He fishes in overlooked areas (small-micro cap stocks) and routinely hunts overseas in search of attractive IRRs.
