Author: Paul Moore and Josh Thomas December 17, 2018 Duration: 40:01

Salem is the founder of Naked Capital, a private investment company focused on late cycle recession resistant assets and their underlying mathematics. To date, his company has $10M in assets and is growing rapidly with a target of $20M by the end of 2018.

Prior to Naked Capital, Salem worked his way out of a challenging upbringing all the way to Wall street where he was building the math behind ultra-high net worth financial products at one of the world's largest investment banks. He has also consulted numerous global corporations on financial structures and built multiple real estate companies all along the way. Today, he's going to walk through how that math applies to real estate investing and portfolios more broadly.


Paul Moore and Josh Thomas host How to Lose Money, but don't let the title fool you. This is a wealth-building conversation built on a simple, powerful premise: the most valuable lessons often come from what went wrong, not what went right. Each episode delves into the honest, sometimes gut-wrenching stories behind business failures and costly missteps. You'll hear from entrepreneurs in the thick of a tough season and executives analyzing strategic errors, all sharing the hard-won insights they gained in the process. The focus isn't on the failure itself, but on the clarity and resilience forged in those moments. For anyone building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated by the real, unvarnished path to success, this podcast offers a unique and compelling perspective. New conversations arrive every Monday, providing a regular dose of practical wisdom earned the hard way. Tune in for a refreshingly candid look at how the road to financial and professional growth is often paved with lessons learned from losing.
