About this episode
Max Wiethe interviews Jeff Keller about the technology sector divergence and the implications for AI investments.
Max Wiethe sits down with Capelight Partners founder Jeff Keller to dissect the massive Q3 technology sector divergence and the rapidly shifting landscape of AI investments.
