Meet the Panel: Dave Meyer, Henry Washington & Chad Carson
At 2:00 · chapter starts 1:48
With introductions complete, Dave Meyer establishes the episode's collaborative dynamic: three experienced investors who see the same market through different lenses. Chad Carson is positioned not as a mega-portfolio builder but as someone who has deliberately and successfully stayed small — and who argues that staying small is a strategy, not a consolation. Henry Washington brings his own active investor perspective, and together the three signal this will be less theory and more lived experience.
