As I explain at the start of the recording, I was initially hesitant to have Kyle Davies on the show as he is a very controversial figure and many believe 3AC committed fraud. However, Kyle agreed that I could ask the questions I wanted on any topic - including 3AC and OPNX.
I had many questions for him and I believe many of you would have the same ones, and that’s why I decided to go ahead. Kyle answered all of them, including those on his new venture. I hope you will find this episode as insightful and interesting as it was for me.
