Panic with Friends – Investing for Profit and Joy

Good morning everyone.

I am excited to share today’s episode with professional golfer Anne van Dam. Her manager is a good friend of mine (Michiel Floris) who discovered her back in her teens.  Anne is an LP in Social Leverage. We get into some investment talk with her interest in real estate and discuss Colony Cooks, a ghost kitchen and virtual restaurant in Los Angeles founded by her boyfriend. 

Anne shares her favorite places to visit, her favorite golf courses, and of course getting the Social Leverage logo on her bag. She’s not superstitious, but with Social Leverage in her corner, I’m predicting victories in the next year for her on tour. Anne has a good head on her shoulders and knows what she wants to do. I hope you’re as inspired by our conversation as I was. I'm looking forward to a round with her the next time she's in Phoenix. Knut has offered to caddie.

Normally on Panic I’m talking with investors, venture capitalists, traders, and entrepreneurs, but on today’s episode I’m bringing on professional golfer Anne van Dam. Her manager is a good friend of mine who discovered her back in her teens, and now she’s an LP in Social Leverage. We get into some investment talk with her interest in real estate and cover Colony Cooks, a ghost kitchen and virtual restaurant in Los Angeles founded by her boyfriend. Anne discusses her favorite places to visit, her favorite golf courses, and of course getting Social Leverage on her bag. She’s not superstitious, but with Social Leverage in her corner, I’m predicting victories this year for her on tour. Anne has a good head on her shoulders and knows what she wants to do. I hope you’re as inspired by our conversation as I was. I'm looking forward to a round with her the next time she's in Phoenix. Knut has offered to caddie for me.
