Our guest for today’s podcast is Soo Kim, Managing Partner and CIO of Standard General, an investment firm he started in 2007.  Soo also serves as Chairman of Bally's Corporation.

Soo has been investing in special situations strategies since 1997, including as co-founder of Cyrus Capital Partners from 2005 to 2007 and at Och-Ziff Capital Management from 1999 to 2005, where he was a Principal and co-founder of its fixed income business. Before joining Och-Ziff, he was an analyst for the Capital Management Group at Bankers Trust Company from 1997 to 1999.

Soo holds an A.B. from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and is a graduate of Stuyvesant High School, one of the top public high schools in New York City.  I always learn a lot whenever I interact with Soo so I know the audience will get a lot from this conversation.  Joining me on the podcast as co-host is Mike Kim, CIO of Lalia Capital, a single family office focused on private investments.  Without further ado, here is our conversation with Soo Kim.
