Episode 17: Photography: Investing in a Memory
Investing in a photograph means investing in its power to affect the viewer. Take a step inside the world of photography with Michael Hoppen, CEO and founder of the Michael Hoppen Gallery, as we review the art form and its ties to society, discuss the impact of technology on photography, and explore parallels to investing.

Harnessing technology to solve known problems in healthcare and food is something we’ve been exploring in depth.
