Great education and network

Spend two months listening to all of these from the very first episode and now up to date on the most recent ones. Started this journey to get educated on alternative investments. Ended up making an investment during this period too based on this podcast. I love the variety of guests they have had on the show, some of which I have since connected with to expand my network/education journey.
Very responsive team too when reaching out. Keep up the great work and thanks for adding me into the Aspen investment network.

ERineha ,

Wealth of knowledge
