David Waddell, CEO and Chief Investment Strategist at Waddell and Associates, joins the Founders Club to share how he transformed a family money management practice into a comprehensive wealth service. Known as "The Fog Cutter," David unpacks his journey from Charles Schwab to Babson to eventually taking over his father’s business in Memphis. He discusses why successful entrepreneurs must view failure as "just data," the critical importance of massive operating agreements for partnerships, and why a crisis is often the best time to play offense. Finally, David breaks down the macroeconomic impact of AI and explains why gathering primary information through world travel is essential for making smart business decisions.
