SIE Exam: Securities Industry Essentials Exam Lessons and Information
Interview with Sahil Lavingia founder of Gumroad A few weeks ago I was invited to a dinner hosted by Sahil Lavingia founder of Gumroad. Being an early adopter of the Gumroad platform it was fascinating to hear the story directly from Sahil himself. I asked him if I could interview him for my podcasts and he generously agreed. While this interview has nothing to do with the securities industries essentials examination I hope you find it enjoyable and enlightening. As I said in the podcast I have just finished producing 74 lessons that now make up the new series 7 study guide audio lessons and I am looking for reviewers who would get a discount to $69.99 from the list price which will be $119.99. If you are interested in being a reviewer write me an e-mail to the e-mail address which is revealed in the podcast. Below are the links where Sahil reveals quite a bit more information about himself I found them enjoyable perhaps you will as well. https://medium.com/s/story/reflecting-on-my-failure-to-build-a-billion-dollar-company-b0c31d7db0e7 https://medium.com/@shl/from-bubble-to-bubble-21d86195e178   New Series 7 Exam and SIE Exam details.
