117. The 'Safe' Way to Financially Retire Early By 40 (FIRE)｜Emmet Peppers

Emmet Peppers is the founder of Good Soil Investment Management LLC (“Good Soil”) on the principle that an asset management company can benefit both its investors and society and Good Soil is the General Partner of Accelerated.  Prior to founding Good Soil Investment Management, Emmet worked at Interactive Brokers, where he helped grow the Prime Brokerage and RIA businesses. He joined the company in 2006 in Client Services, then moved into institutional sales in 2010, becoming the firm’s #1 US sales rep by 2019 as he brought on and serviced some of the firm’s biggest institutional clients. Investing his own funds while working for Interactive Brokers, Emmet developed the investment philosophy which would become the foundation for Accelerated Opportunities. In a variety of transformational opportunities he had identified over the years, and using exchange-traded options to accelerate the performance of his portfolio, Emmet translated an initial investment of approximately $30,000 into well over $30 million.  Timestamps.
