We’re going to share episodes of our original podcasts here, both as examples of how we podcast and in case the content itself catches your ear. Here’s our latest episode of The Razor’s Edge.
We’re joined by friend of The Razor’s Edge and professional investor Captain Twilio, as he’s known. As someone who has only owned two stocks in his portfolio since 2012 – Netflix from 2012-2017 and Twilio in the three years since – he has a laser focused approach to growth investing, and it’s worked.
In the wake of Netflix’s most recent, pandemic-fueled earnings report, we brought him on to see where he thinks the company sits, and what we all make of the report and Netflix’s positioning. We also cover Captain’s Twilio position at length, though that will be part two of this episode, coming out around Twilio’s earnings.
