Ahead of the Curve Podcast

Ahead of the Curve PodcastI was recently asked to be a guest on a new podcast from LoqSea. I had a lot of fun talking with Lauren McLean about how I got into commodities and so much more…. Here is the description of the episode.

Join us as Gary shares his journey into the world of commodities, explores how CTRM (Commodity Trading & Risk Management) systems have transformed, and reveals what’s next for trading technology and global markets.
