Everything you need to know about royalties, with Spencer Cole

We had the pleasure of chatting with Spencer Cole, an expert in a part of our industry in which we haven’t spoken nearly enough about.

Spencer knows more than most about royalties, so we used the opportunity to pick his brain about how the sector has evolved, how different royalties come into existence, the best & worst royalty decisions that have been made, how royalty co.’s should trade plus a bunch more.
