Jawad Mian: Stray Reflections: What Happens When You Stop Chasing Billions? From Hedge Fund Ambitions to Meaning: One Investor's Journey Beyond Material Pursuits

Jawad Mian began his career as a bank teller and went on to found Stray Reflections, an independent global macro research firm serving hedge funds and family offices. He shares why he walked away from his plan to launch his own hedge fund, how writing became an act of devotion, and why he came to see his unconventional background as a strength. The conversation covers truth-seeking in markets, the ego as the enemy, self-sabotage near peak success, and a more intentional approach to information. Jawad closes with a reframing of wealth that changes how you see everything above your daily needs.
