podcast team is escaping for Christmas and New Year, but before we get away, we wanted to share

with you some of the highlights of the last 12 months. This year has been especially exciting,

surpassing both my good friend and co-founder Will Campion's expectations. We hit 1 million global

downloads and have officially released over 120 episodes since starting the podcast in March 2020.

In the last few months, we've hosted some of the world's most

influential figures in the investment industry, including Ray Dalio, David Einhorn, Scott

Besant, Lynn Martin, and many more. We've also welcomed guests from the wider business world,

including Bob Bradway of Amgen, Bruce Cleaver of De Beers, John authors of Bloomberg, and Etienne Bisseau of

Bollinger Group, and offering geopolitical perspectives, General Petraeus, and another former head of the CIA

Mike Pompeo. Alongside the fascinating conversations on our main channel, we also carried them over

to our curated podcast series, a spin-off show

aimed at professional investors. These episodes offer detailed and nuanced insights into

astoundingly innovative firms and highly respected investment groups. This year, we hosted Oxford

PV and Organox, two Oxford University spin-out companies

whose research and products are potentially world-changing discoveries.

Oxford PV discussed their work on recalibrating solar panels to transform their productivity.

And Organox discussed their FDA-approved technology for changing the way in which donor organs are preserved

in the critical time between donation and transplantation. The curated channel also welcomed

Ruffer to discuss their investment approach, partners capital to explore Asian investment opportunities,

and cigar in Canada to explain their business and approach to investment.
