The Richer Way Podcast with Jaime Catmull

Jaime talks with Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank and Howard Marks about diversifying your investments and experiencing extraordinary returns.

"Don't fear failure. Particularly if you're an entrepreneur, you are going to fail and I think you get a great lesson from that. But again, what we constantly see over and over again, great companies, great CEOs, great founders, learn how to pivot when the economy changes dramatically."

Kevin O'Leary is a successful entrepreneur, investor, host and shark from CNBC's Shark Tank, and Howard Marks is the cofounder of Start Engine and the former chairman of Activision Studios and founder and CEO of Acclaimed Games.

Kevin O'Leary and Howard Marks discovered the power of investing in startups, a sector that provides extraordinary returns compared to the stock market. Through Start Engine, they learned that a diversified portfolio of startups can provide long-term benefits and yield high returns. With the democratization of venture capital, anyone can now shop for ideas and products they like on Start Engine and build a portfolio that works for them. Taking a bet on an entrepreneur can pay off in a big way, making it possible to live richer.
