This is an audio interview.

Robert P Smith was bored being a collections lawyer. He wanted to live an adventurous life and do work he could feel passionate about. So when found an opportunity to create a new finance company that allowed him to travel the world and trade debt, he jumped on it.

I invited Robert to Mixergy to talk about how he built his business and what he learned.

I need to be upfront with you and tell you that my connection on this interview wasn’t very good. It was my first interview from Buenos Aires and the office here hadn’t yet set up my lines properly. If you really want to get into the stories of Robert’s adventures, I recommend getting his book, Riches Among the Ruins.
