Panic with Friends – Investing for Profit and Joy
On this episode of Panic with Friends, I speak with my good friend Chris Temple. Chris is the co-founder and director of Optimist, an award winning documentary and impact studio. In today’s episode we dive deep into his latest film called ‘This is not Financial Advice’ - of which I was an Executive Producer. The movie premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival a few months back. We are really proud of it.
In ‘This is not Financial Advice’, Glauber “Pro” Contessoto - an immigrant working multiple jobs and living in a 220-square–foot apartment - gambles his life savings on Dogecoin. Two months later, he became “The Dogecoin Millionaire” and a hero to his growing YouTube following. But as Pro will soon discover, making money and keeping money are not the same thing. Amateur investors like Pro must navigate a landscape that’s rife with hype, bad advice, and FOMO. This is not Financial Advice exposes the startling risks and rewards of today’s market through expert commentary and the anxiety-inducing stories of real people trying to make millions.
