Manage episode 478675882 series 3413832
James M. Russo shares his journey from Naval Academy graduate, All-American boxer, and Marine Corps C-130 pilot to founder of Altrius Capital Management. Author of "Invest Like an Aardvark," this principled visionary attributes his success to humility. Like an aardvark, a unique unassuming animal, Jim has flipped the script of typical Wall Street investors by uncovering value where others fail to look. Since 1997, he has built a value-based, long-term investment firm while leading a high-performing remote team. Hiring for character, curiosity, and compassion, he proves A-players can come from anywhere. His top hiring lesson? "Always be recruiting." Tune into how Veteran entrepreneurs like Jim have built exceptional teams, sizing up his opponents in the ring through the lens of discipline, perseverance, and exceptionally effective ears.
