Jawad S. Mian
The Convener
The room, the network and the deal, brings the right people together.
Jawad S. Mian reads as The Convener because he has built an architecture of reciprocal intelligence rather than a pulpit. His bimonthly circuit across five financial capitals is structured idea exchange, not promotional touring, and his explicit rejection of guru status locates his authority in facilitation.
“Look, I think life in markets are intertwined. You know, the biggest risk in markets is ego. I would say the biggest risk in life is ego. The biggest virtue in markets and life is humility. I often say successful investing is only possible with knowledge of oneself.”
“Or breakfast somewhere, and we're all exchanging ideas. A core principle is all of us are smarter than any of us. And I really lean into that. And so I learn a lot from the community. And then the fourth element would be a Slack group where everybody sort of exchanges ideas in real time.”
“It is a difficult business to value, right? If you think about it, it seems so obvious now that we should be owning Microsoft and Apple and Amazon and Google and Facebook. So obvious. But I would argue 10 years ago, it wasn't so obvious.”
“Of you, but it's certainly look when I launched the business, I realized I'm not unique in what I do because there are lots of other people out there who are writing opinions about the market, but I am unique in who I am.”
