Episode notes
Demand The Downside
- Ask directly about downside scenarios if a pitch emphasizes only upside or 'guarantees.'
- Walk away if the presenter won't discuss risks; risk disclosure is fundamental to legit investing.
VC Model vs. Individual Investor
- Venture funds expect many failures and structure portfolios accordingly, but individual dentists typically do not.
- Investing as a lone dentist into single private deals lacks the diversification that VC models rely on.
Question Celebrity Backing
- Treat celebrity endorsements and borrowed credibility as a prompt to dig into who actually bears risk and how they profit.
- Celebrities often get paid regardless of outcome, so verify substance beyond the endorsement.
