Mentorship
Think Like a Strategist. Build Like a Quant.
Mentorship at SmartMacro Labs is built on a simple idea: growth happens faster when you have a guide. Models, textbooks, and online courses are useful, but they rarely bridge the gap between theory and the real work professionals face every day.
I designed this program to mirror the best parts of a PhD advisor relationship — personalized, challenging, and focused on your goals. Whether it’s building forecasting models, refining your investment process, or integrating AI into your workflow, the work is tailored to what you actually need.
What makes this different is the way it connects theory to practice. The mentorship is about taking the best of macro models and market insight and turning it into a clear, disciplined process. The aim is simple: to help you think like a strategist and build like a quant.

The Value of Mentorship
Mentorship at SmartMacro Labs isn’t about piling on more information — it’s about helping you apply the right tools and frameworks with confidence. Each step is collaborative, shaped by your goals, and paced to fit your career and learning style.
What you take away isn’t just knowledge, but a way of thinking about macro that’s disciplined, adaptable, and practical in the world you’re working in right now. That’s the difference between training and mentorship — and it’s why the best place to begin is a conversation.
