About John Emrich
I worked in finance for 20 years after business school, the first five in corporate finance and business valuation, the last 15 in active fund management, with mutual funds and hedge funds. The last ten years I have spent on boards, from an organic farmland company to 3 mutual fund families today. I have an MBA in finance and a MSES in conservation biology. I started a company, Red Earth Finance LLC, largely to provide fee-only asset allocation services on a consulting basis. I started a podcast to interview authors, economists, and practitioners in the investing space, called "Kick the Dogma" hosted at www.ktdpod.com.John Emrich has worked for decades years in corporate finance, business valuation and fund management. He has a podcast about the investment space called Kick the Dogma.
