In this episode, we meet John Foster, founder of Middle School MBA, an educational program that teaches business, economics, and entrepreneurship to middle school students. John explains the nuances of the program and its integrated approach to teaching these subjects at a younger age.
The conversation then shifts to angel investing, where John provides deep insights into what angel investing entails, the relationship between entrepreneurs and investors, and the impact of interest rates and market conditions on investments.
He highlights the importance of integrity and trust between the parties involved, discusses the potential effects of regulatory interventions, and shares his vision of an optimal market, free of burdensome governmental regulations.
