Ex-Hedge Fund Manager on How to Be Contrarian and Right | Avik Roy

We’re excited to share this episode with Avik Roy, President of The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, who has one of the most unconventional career paths out there.

From a student of molecular biology at MIT he surprised everyone by becoming a hedge fund manager in the 90s, at a time when few even knew what hedge funds were.

Then after starting a blog about how Obamacare wasn't going to work as the administration promised, he found himself whisked down the path of public policy - becoming Mitt Romney's healthcare advisor, a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and then finally to starting his own think tank FreeOpp.

Watch this riveting episode, for key lessons that entrepreneurs and activists alike can take to have maximum impact.
