Talking about freight futures
From his office overlooking the New York City harbor, John shared stories about how he found himself at the heart of the freight futures market—an often overlooked but deeply global and volatile corner of finance. Over the course of our conversation, he walked me through his journey in Wall Street, the early days of shipping IPOs, and the bold decision to launch Breakwave. We spoke about what makes this market so unique, why so few investors truly understand it, and his mission to democratize access to a space traditionally reserved for insiders. It was a candid and energizing exchange—part market insight, part entrepreneurial story, and part reflection on what it means to stay contrarian in a cyclical world.
