In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Podcast, Robert Croak and Austin Hankwitz sat down with JJ Maxwell, the CEO of Double Finance.Double Finance was an online brokerage platform that allowed investors to build their own strategies from scratch using characteristic screeners. Only want to invest in companies who've been paying dividends for the last 10 years? Or maybe companies who've been free cash flow positive for the last 5 years? Double Finance was a company allowing you to do just that. Sadly, Double didn’t gain enough users during their early days and had to shut down six months after this episode was recorded. Regardless, we hope you all enjoy this conversation. We take pride in introducing you all to the coolest platforms, investing strategies, emerging technologies, and interesting ideas the market place has to offer. While Double Finance didn’t end up lasting, the premise behind this company is exactly what retail investors should be thinking about.
