We live in extraordinarily turbulent times. A lot of businesses haven’t made it, or won’t make it. Yet a lot of businesses have also innovated during this time. They’ve refocused their energy where it matters: on the customer. And they’ve come out even stronger. How can the average investor prosper and yet still protect themself? How do we navigate the financial landscape today to create long-term wealth? While you may get many different answers to these questions, one thing remains the same – you must understand the economic environment you are investing in and leverage it to your advantage. In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, you will hear from Ashwin Vasan as he discusses how he built one of the most successful hedge funds during an economic winter. Ashwin is the Chief Investment Officer of macro hedge fund Trend Capital and a renowned economist with over 25 years of investment experience. He’ll share his expertise about the current global trends that may have a tremendous impact on your investment decisions. Ashwin has been through economic winter. He credits Tony Robbins’ strategies with providing his team the foundation they need to take a pragmatic, practical approach. As Ashwin says in the video, “If you can keep the fear in its appropriate role within your life, it can actually be an enormously powerful servant to you and help you navigate this process.” When you conquer fear, you’ll find that winter can be an excellent time to start a business. Out of the Fortune 1000, more than 60% started during an economic winter. Apple and Microsoft both were born in the middle of recession in the 1970s. Exxon, Disney and Fortune magazine all started during depressions.
