This week Luke and Krzysztof sit down with Daniel Joshua Rubin, screenwriter, author of *27 Essential Principles of Story*, and a self-described "narrative investor" who's been quietly compounding by asking one question: is this a hero worth backing? The conversation gets spicy fast, with all three disag...

Meanwhile, Krzysztof turned a 70% options loss into a breakeven exit... then watched the stock moon another 60%... then crater 50% — all in the same week. This is what investing in the AI era actu...

This week, Krzysztof goes full deep-dive on Nectar Therapeutics ($NKTR), while Luke — self-...
