We interviewed Michael Huseby to learn about his life story and his new book: Fundamentals: Your Friendly Guide to Investment Funds and Syndications.
This is a great listen for anyone interested in starting an investment fund or interested in making the transition from "practitioner" to "practitioner operator", like Michael did when leaving BigLaw to start his firm, and like I did when leaving the hedge fund I was to start XEIA.
