Jim Hawes Chased Che Guevara off Lake Tanganyika Before a Career in Frontier Markets Venture Capital

MessyTimes is honored to have Jim Hawes visit us to discuss his experience in fighting the free-market capitalist corner over a long and exciting career.   

Upon the expiry of his operation's classified status, Jim wrote a wonderful book about his work in Central Africa in 1965, Cold War Navy SEAL: My Story of Che Guevara, War in the Congo, and the Communist Threat in Africa.  

We touch on his valuable service to the nation and humanity by shooing Che Guevara out of Africa so the Bolivians could do the world a huge favor by removing this evil murdering sociopathic parasite from amongst the living, before discussing Jim's experience in private equity in then-emerging markets in Asia.  

Join us to find out why - among other things - he deserves at least 1/7th of the credit for introducing American fast food to Asia!
