Nicholas Kirchner is a successful entrepreneur and investor, who finds enjoyment in the pursuit of knowledge. During our conversation we spoke about his experience of dropping out of college, how he became President & Co-Owner of Margle Media (a digital growth agency) which services Fortune 500 clients, including companies such as Yahoo. He then co-founded Hydra, a consulting firm that transforms other agencies into operational powerhouses, by helping agency owners (with turnovers ranging between $100k to $10M per year), streamline and accelerate growth through the implementation of a systems-first approach. Throughout his journey in marketing he has been privileged to work with some of the biggest brands in the world. However, after questioning what would really matter to the world in the long term, he co-founded Downstream Capital with his partner. A venture capital firm that invests in companies that will matter 100 years from now, who will truly have a long term impact socially, culturally, or environmentally.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Cascade Podcast, I’m Aiden Parker, the founder of Cascade and the host of the Cascade Podcast. This podcast provides a platform for me to sit down and have conversations with a wide range of individuals about topics ranging from personal and self-development, lifestyle, health and fitness, to business ventures in the startup world, private equity, investing in a range of asset classes which include real estate, stocks, crypto, NFTs, commodities, cars, art, watches, wine, and many more. The intention of the podcast is to successively pass on information and knowledge, which is the literal meaning of the word Cascade and the reason why I created the club. This podcast is dedicated to Kuan Brown, a very close friend of mine that recently passed away. He was a greatly admired individual and one of the most genuine and selfless people I had the pleasure of knowing. He is a member of Cascade and his servant heart had a huge impact on others. The purpose of this podcast is to impact and uplift younger generations through the passing down of knowledge and information. So without further ado, let’s get started. I hope the Cascade Podcast is of value to you. Follow Aiden on Twitter & Instagram.
