The Rundown

Jack Raines, Venture Capitalist and Author, joins The Rundown to explain why your 20s might be the best time to take bigger risks with your career, money and life. He shares how he turned $6,000 into $400,000 trading SPACs and eventually built a career through writing and posting online. Jack also breaks down the philosophy behind his new book, Young Money, and why he thinks young people should worry less about optimizing every dollar and more about maximizing the unique opportunities of early adulthood. Plus, he and Zaid discuss the value of making financial mistakes while the stakes are still low, building an unconventional career and knowing when to spend money on experiences instead of saving it.
