Shopify made it so anyone could launch a store.
Airbnb made it so anyone could rent out their home.
Rayze makes it so anyone can launch and run a fund.
The next generation of fund managers won't come from Wall Street.
They'll be the traders already outperforming it.
As you may know, I love the topics around Corporate Turnarounds and Distressed M&A and have read over 70 books on the subject. In the following posts I will lightly review each book with recommendations. These helped me learn the art and science of the turnaround business and ultimately led me to write my own to fill in a few gaps in the literature.
2. Turnaround by Arnold Goldstein. A down to earth book written for the business owner. Contains several creative sections such as Defensive Positioning and the Dump Buyback. Goldstein is a lawyer, PhD and prolific (probably the best) writer on the subject of corporate revitalization. Buy and read everything Goldstein has ever written.

1. Corporate Turnaround by Donald Bibeault. The seminal book on the subject which makes up most of the study material for the management part of the CTP (Certified Turnaround Professional) exam. This is the foundational book in the field of turnaround management and I believe the original version was Don’s PhD thesis. Absolute top 5 books on the subject and probably the best selling of all time.
This is also the New Jersey/NYC culture that I remember.
People will help you out there just not “nice” about it. When I was 17 I had a blowout tire on route 80 in Jersey. I was struggling with the jack (I had never done it before) a guy in his 50s pulled over to “help” me. He then basically spent 15 minutes changing my tire and yelling at me for having worn tires and not knowing how to change the spare. “What the hells the matter with you kid?!” Meanwhile when he was done he shook my hand, told me to drive safe and “get some new f*cking tires and learn how to use the goddamn jack.” Then he was gone; never to be seen again.
This is NJ kindness. Do something out of his way but make sure I get an earful.
I got new tires the next week and became proficient in doing my own auto work.

life is f**king incredible. cows turn grass into ribeyes, trees turn sunlight into oxygen, fruits and coconuts, water falls from the sky and dogs exist. we get to do literally anything we want with our life, fall in love with someone who was a stranger and somehow sex with them makes new life forms. God is real, magic exists, manifestation works, and love always finds a way. dont fall for the doomer shit. we live in a magical dreamscape, dont waste it.
