Ep. 227 - Investing Lessons Learned Going from Shareholder to Employee with Chris Bernatz, @jj_shipley

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Chris Bernatz, better known as @jj_shipley on Twitter. I’ve been following Chris for a while on Twitter and sent him a message to see if he’d be interested in jumping on the pod. After initially declining, he decided to come on the podcast and I’m really glad he did. I’ve had many guests that started out as shareholders and eventually became more involved with their holdings, most often as a Board Member. Chris’ story is unique to this podcast in that he went to work at one of his portfolio companies, Etsy. So, I wanted to learn more about his background, and some of the investing lessons learned going from shareholder to employee.
