Turning An Ounce Of Gold Into A Canadian Financial Media Empire

The Real CEO-CA Origin Story

This is the real CEO-CA origin story. A conversation with long-time friend and most followed CEO-CA user, Robert Sinn. We talked about my failed attempt to bring Stocktwits to Canada, believing it was too late to start a new major stock market site, and how through showing up, CEO-CA came to be. The story begins with Robert and I meeting on a Manhattan rooftop in 2011.

It was through exposure to Howard Lindzon (StockTwits), Joe Wiesenthal (then Business Insider), Josh Brown (Reformed Broker) and others I drew early inspiration. We talked about meeting those guys and trying to merge what they did with the Vancouver stock market scene.

Also mentioned were Joe, Jeremy & Jay Martin, Travis McPherson, James Kwantes, Murat the GOAT, Denis Laviolette, & the Goldspot team, all of whom contributed to our success. Enjoy the conversation with Robert Sinn.
