Roy & Robert Zhang Jr.
We strive to gain valuable insights through critical thinking and meaningful conversations. Robert has founded a Hedge fund and is also an independent financial adviser, originally from China and now lives in the states. Roy has founded an advertising and marketing agency for cross-border businesses, originally from China, later moved to Canada, and now lives L.A. We both live in beautiful southern California and value critical observations, thinking, and reasoning. One coin has two sides, multiple sides at times. And we hope to share with you our 2 cents on a wide range of topics. Disclaimer: The podcast will mainly be produced in English, since we are both bilingual sometimes we will use mandarin to explain certain cultural specific things. All quotes are original, unless stated otherwise.
