Tune in as Shawn, Bob, & Jon share how his life took a steep dive on the brink of bankruptcy, failure, and heartbreak of losing his brothers to drug overdose; but during this time he felt the peace and love of God which got him through. Hear how Jon stepped away from a well paying job off of a conviction from the Lord, and his courageous, brave choices that are not the common easy choice. You will love his stories of what has happened in his life that are impacting the world today.
Jon Sundt, Founder of Altegris, explains how he built one of the largest alternative investment advisory firms in the country and how he achieved a hugely successful exit.
Burl discusses this uniquely focused Real Estate Securities marketplace strategy. A Long/Short strategy focused on companies that are able to have a monopolistic pricing model, enabling them to raise prices more often than usual. An example is the cell phone tower business, with less price competition, limited suppliers, and barrier to exit, and secular demand drivers, and seek to hedge with the short positions. They like to invest in real estate that invests in the internet of things. Looking to benefit from "Pricing Power." This is indeed a most interesting interview that you won't want to miss.

Advisors were essentially serving up “60/40” solutions, and in Pfister’s view, that approach is outdated and alternatives are essential. [read more]
