John Fish

I am currently working on a documentary series on youtube where I travel the world visiting the sites of great novels. I have about a million subscribers now! When I am not doing this, I am probably chasing some weird side project or risking my net worth in some exotic and illiquid market.

Get in Touch

I am generally inactive on most social media platforms (I especially despise LinkedIn) so email me if you would like a response!

• Email: john (at symbol) johnafish.ca

I would especially like to hear from you if you're a company and would like to sponsor a video/series but any interesting email is good!

What I'm Up To

My time is split pretty evenly these days between content and investing. I spent the first half of 2025 on investing and the second half on filming a series for YouTube.

• YouTube creator (950k subscribers) (link)
  • Educational content, mostly about books these days
  • I have worked with some of the biggest brands in the world (Amazon, Intel, NVIDIA, etc.)
  • I am backed by the Slow creator fund
• Investing
  • I invest (my own money, no fund) in weird assets that I think have some social tailwind that is not yet priced in (past big wins: psychedelic medicine companies, AI chip foundries, crypto perp dexes, meme launchpads, etc.)
  • My favorite time to invest is when it's obvious to the tech nerds and not yet consensus with the finance nerds
