This week’s special guest is Chad Tangsriwong from CyberAgent Capital.  Chad is a Chief Representative of Bangkok Office of CyberAgent Capital, leading an operation in Thailand for a Japanese-headquartered VC firm who actively invests in all major cities across Asia Pacific.  As one of the very first native Thais who work for international fund, Chad has made the investment into many top-tier Thai startups, with ClaimDi, Fastwork, Getlinks and SkillLane among others. He has also had a few exits under his belt in Priceza and aCommerce. Together, we discuss the current state of Thai startup ecosystem and the significant market opportunities that are yet to be exploited.  Chad shares his thoughts on the importance of becoming a regional player in Southeast Asia and why Bangkok is one of the best cities for founders to acheive that goal.

Emil Voehlert is the commercial manager at aCommerce – a company based in Bangkok that provides e-commerce Solutions throughout Southeast Asia. Emil started his career as Web Technician and later Client coordinator for customers from Thailand at Mobillos.dk in Denmark. Later he moved to Thailand and developed his career there, working as a business development manager position at Tropical Focus and commercial effectiveness manager at Novo Nordisk.   Emil has a growth mindset and strives for constant improvement through education. He entered Stamford International University in 2011 and graduated with a Bachelor degree of Business Administration. In 2018 graduated with a Master of Science (M.Sc) from Thammasat University.   In this episode, Emil shares his painful stock equities investment story because of his overconfidence and improper portfolio approach.     "Keep investing and keep doing it over time. You got time on your side. It is all about compounding over the years." -Emil Voehlert     What do you want to hear from the My Worst Investment Ever Podcast? Tell us here!   Resources:  My Worst Investment Ever Book   myworstinvestmentever.com      Topics Covered:  00:50 – Emil Voehlert’s professional and investment background  02:42 – Emil describes his level of investing experience  03:28 – Emil describes the circumstances that led him to invest in German stock market  04:25 – Emil sharing his investment theme with his family and friends  05:47 – He and his friends experiencing a 10% gain on Deutsche Bank  06:34 – His stock’s performance compared to their entry point  07:20 – His supposedly cut loss at -40%   07:51 – Emil’s Takeaways from his investment experience   08:43 – Andrew summarizes the critical learning point from Emil’s experience  12:44 – Emil’s actionable advice to help listeners protect their investment: Do not just take it and use any words from friends at face value.    Main Takeaways: Lesson 1: Do not fall into the Fear of missing out. When it comes to investing, FOMO is significantly impacted by recency bias. Our fear of missing out becomes more and more intense after the market has just experienced an uptick. If we take a couple of steps back, it is clear why we maintain a diversified portfolio – it provides the most appealing tradeoff between maximizing returns and minimizing risk.  Lesson 2: Focus on your level of research. It is not enough to just develop an investment theme and build confidence in your idea.  Lesson 3: Have a zero-based thinking concept. Ask yourself and say, " If I did not own it today will I add it?" It is one way to add clarity. Zero-Based Thinking goes against the traditional dogma of sticking with something even if it does more personal damage to you than good, which is often one of the biggest problems in investing namely attempting to make something work that you wouldn’t even have gotten into in the first place had you known better.   You can also check out Andrew’s books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr.Deming’s 14 Points   Connect with Emil Voehlert : Linkedin   Connect with Andrew Stotz: astotz.com Linkedin Facebook Instagram Twitter Youtube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast
