I asked Cathie Wood the question no one else will

You manage more money than any other woman on Earth. Across the company, we're closing in on 40,000,000,000. She's called one of the most disruptive and innovative forces. Cathie Wood making some big headlines. The ARK Innovation ETF soared over the early pandemic. If I'm a believer in AI, what's the number one stock that I should own? I think everyone knows about NVIDIA. We always try and answer that question with stocks people are not thinking about in the right way. So here's the tough question. If somebody else had your track record, would you invest in them? Well Kathy Wood, you're here. I appreciate you doing this. You're a pretty remarkable person. I've been watching you for a long time, and there's a good chance that you manage more money than any other woman on Earth as a fund as a active fund manager. I don't know if that's exactly true, but you may be top five. Yeah. Probably. I don't know. I don't know myself. I don't I don't have those numbers. Yeah. I'm curious, actually.

So what's the hustle story you pride yourself on? Well, the first big break was getting into the business. Art Laffer, I'm not sure if you know Laffer, Laffer curves, supply side economics, Reaganomics. He was my professor at the University of Southern California. He was like an advisor to presidents. Right? Oh, every president since Richard Nixon except for presidents Obama and Biden. And, you know, he he was agnostic if if anyone, didn't matter what party, wanted to hear what he had to say about, taxes, deregulation, monetary policy. He wanted to give his point of view. And, you know, we've come full circle, Art and I, because I and my team introduced Art in 2015 to Bitcoin. And when he read our paper, he said, this is what I've been waiting for since The US closed the gold window in 1971. A global rules based monetary system. Wrong rule. Quantity theory of money, you know, limited to 21,000,000 units, but we'll get there. And, of course, he was talking about stablecoins. So now we have introduced him …
