About this episode

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an extraordinary guest, Rana Vig who shares insights and wisdom on how to stay focused, learning how to say a clean yes and no, the advantages of investing in precious metals, and the best way of preserving wealth!

Rana Vig is an entrepreneur, a management consultant, President & CEO at Blue Lagoon Resources, Inc., a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of properties for the mining of gold and other minerals. It is one of the top-performing stocks of 2019 listed on the CSE under the symbol BLLG.

In 2018, he became the chief executive officer of Lead Ventures Inc. and oversaw and executed the acquisition and $5-billion-plus reverse takeover of Curaleaf Holdings Inc., which raised $520-million, making it the largest Canadian cannabis financing in history. Also, he took the helm of Rockbridge Resources, which he successfully restructured by acquiring, through a reverse takeover, the $2-billion-plus Harvest Health & Recreation, which closed a $300-million financing -- making it the third-largest cannabis financing of 2018.

In November 2017, Rana was invited to the Canadian Senate to receive the Senate 150th Anniversary Medal, which was awarded to top Canadians actively involved in their communities who, through generosity, dedication, and hard work, make their hometowns and communities a better place to live.

Rana is a generalist and startup guy who are fond of starting one business and jumping to another. He likes to build something, sell it off, and move on, and come to the next sector!
