    E432: AI Is Coming for Your Industry — Is Your Portfolio Safe? with Patrick Grimes

    In this engaging conversation, Patrick Grimes shares his journey from a career in automation robotics and machine design to becoming a private investor. He details the lessons learned from experiencing foreclosure during the 2008/2009 market downturn, which led him to develop his "Three Rings of Investment" philosophy: seeking recession resilience, non-correlation, and insulation from AI disruption. Grimes critiques publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in what he calls "The Ruse of REITs," arguing they are "publicly traded paper" that lack the core tax and inflation-hedging benefits of direct real estate. He also emphasizes the power of partnership to build a stable, hyper-diversified portfolio and discusses high-return alternative asset classes like commercial debt, legal funding, and medical receivables.
