World-renowned capital markets expert and original fintech visionary joins Messy Times for a wide ranging discussion anchored in human freedom, intelligent choice and the development of the human experience. Patrick has taken a break from finishing his recent book Victory or Death and his weekly podcast IPO VID, to share with us his thoughts on the vagaries of global economic development. Exchanges! Centralized bureaucracy! The stifling hand of the Administrative State versus the chaotic and delightful benefits to be had from distributed knowledge and - GASP! - an educated, thoughtful citizenry! Plus Slartibartfast's rationale for setting some important things wrong. Tune in - politicians and the news media will lie to you. Your friends at Messy Times - and their illustrious guests - never will. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/messytimes/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/messytimes/support
In this episode, I had the great pleasure of having David Weild - widely known as the "father" of the JOBS Act - as my special guest on today's episode. David Weild IV, co-founder chairman, and CEO is a stock market expert best known for his position as Vice Chairman of NASDAQ. He is currently the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Weild & Co. He is a noted expert on capital markets and capital formation who has testified before the U.S. Congress at the House Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises, the SEC, and in front of the 34-member nations and the European Commission for the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). And as I mentioned, he is regarded by many as the Father of the JOBS Act for studies that he co-authored that were the first to identify and characterize the long-term structural decline in the IPO and listed company markets. He headed the equity capital markets and corporate finance at a top-ten underwriter of IPOs and follow-on equity offerings. During his career, he has participated in managing more than 1,000 public equity offering transactions. David was named one of twenty Visionaries and one of ten StartUp Entrepreneurs in The World's Most Influential People in Market Structure, a book by Patrick L. Young. He holds an MBA from the Stern School of Business and a B.A. degree from Wesleyan University and also studied on exchange at The Sorbonne, Ecole des Haute Etudes Commerciales, and The Stockholm School of Economics. David is the former Treasurer of The Bond Club of New York.
Patrick L Young is a lifelong entrepreneur and fintech industry veteran. His first book, “Capital Market Revolution!” published in 1999, was a bestseller. A former stock exchange boss in Europe, he runs the daily information service for bourses [stock markets], “Exchange Invest”, which is followed by executives at NYSE and NASDAQ down through the pyramid of exchanges. Patrick’s most recent book, “Victory or Death,” looks at the impact of fintech, including blockchain and cryptocurrency on the business world. Patrick sits down with Chris Snyder to discuss blockchain, fintech, and the future of global markets.
“Exchange Invest” delivers PLY’s pith, developed over decades immersed in markets, around the world each morning, cutting through the clutter in the “parish” of global bourses. Patrick’s take is a must read for exchange industry leaders and back benchers alike. He joined the pod from his perch in Malta to break down the markets’ response to COVID-19, his career arc from auto racing to fintech, and his most recent book, “Victory or Death? Blockchain, Cryptocurrency & the FinTech World.” Inside the ICE House: https://www.theice.com/insights/conversations/inside-the-ice-house

Patrick has many interests, but ExchangeInvest.com is perhaps our best focal point for CommunityZ. In 1999 Patrick L Young wrote the first bestselling book on the topic of "fintech" "Capital Market Revolution!" at a time when financial technology was broadly ignored. Two decades on and with CMR! having proven prescient, the floor traders are all but forgotten, electronic money is the talk of the town and many other items predicted by Patrick's original book. In "Victory Or Death!" Patrick L Young, discussed, 20 years into the "Revolution!" key topics examining what has - and has not changed - while looking at diverse issues such as the long decline ahead from the peak of banks, the future of exchanges and of course, how cryptocurrency (e-money was widely predicted in CMR!) and blockchain are realistically going to shape the future of finance in a hyper competitive world. Patrick is a former exchange CEO and lifelong entrepreneur whose current interests include publishing the unique daily newsletter of the bourse business "Exchange Invest." He is chairman of industry association Blockchain Malta and lives in Valletta. Interested in watching our webinars live, or taking part in the production of our research?
