[Marshall M.]

Hey everyone! My name's Marshall Masterson and I'm a recent college grad originally from the D.C. area, but have been living in Santa Monica, CA for the last six months and I've been really enjoying it out here (it's the first time I've never had to shovel snow). 

I've been a longtime lurker: I've listened to over 50 of the podcasts (and counting) and they have been immensely helpful. I can't begin to tell you how much of my off-the-cuff knowledge has come from those podcasts. 

I introduced my friend at work to the podcast and he did the same with his friends in NY and now his friends are all flying to Charlotte, NC to identify some buy and hold opportunities (they obviously forgot to listen to podcasts where Josh warned listeners about investing with friends!). Nevertheless, it's been really cool to see them take action. 

If you're in Santa Monica or somewhere within a few hours of LA's world famous traffic, I'd love to meet up and hear about what you're up to. Thanks guys!
