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!

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
