“I have just done the numbers and surprised even myself. On today’s figures, since working with Cole just over 2 years ago I have increased my net worth by 715%.

“Not only have we succeeded in our investing but it’s spurred us on to start other businesses that are well on their way to succeeding.”

“Prior to this course I was remarkably ill-suited to choose my own investments. In the past two years my Fat Fish portfolio has gone up by 150% and more than $200,000. I know it’s not about the short-term, but my investments are making me more than my actual job is and that feels pretty badass."

Jerome C.

“I now consider myself self-sufficient in the world of stock investing. I have a growing portfolio of companies, which I am able to select and research on my own. The saying, ‘give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’ accurately describes the before and after of Cole’s workshop.”

Ross T.
Boston, Massachusetts, USA

“I've always said the biggest difference the workshop has made for me is the fact that it's completely changed my attitude towards money, and it wasn't until recently I quantified how much. My net worth today is 315% of what it was this time last year.”

Suyeon S.

“Find Fat Fish compelled me to invest in Amazon and Netflix back in 2010. I turned my first investment into my wife’s wedding ring, and the AMZN and NFLX I’ve got left are up more than 2,200% and 4,800%.”

“Cole has created an effective workshop for investing that frankly surpassed any investment course I have taken as a recent graduate from Columbia Business School… Find Fat Fish offers a skillset that can change lives.”

Miranda C.

“Cole was very patient, warm, and understanding when it came to my 0.00 knowledge about investing and minimal financial literacy. He took the time to ask me powerful questions that helped me understand my financial situation better and his tactic for explaining and teaching me was super grounded and easy to understand. With his help I took the plunge and bought my first stock which has been a successful investment!”

Natalie H.

“This course allowed me to clear away the noise and turn my mindset from being a mindless spender into an opportunistic investor, which has enabled me to double my portfolio in two years. Something that usually takes 7 to 10 years with index funds.”

Hannah T.

“Hey Cole! My portfolio has performed exceptionally well over the last 18 months and I’m planning to lean back into it over the coming months as I work on Investing 2.0… My kids’ Sharesies accounts are both +50% up! Great start towards house deposits.”

Anthony G.

“I am confident this workshop is the cornerstone of us strengthening our financial future towards retirement age through Cole's business fundamentals which I am also applying to our farming business. A massive thanks to Cole.”

“We’ve become completely detached from our presupposed notion that it was getting too late to become financially free."

“Our net worth has doubled since we did the course 2.5 years ago… 55% CAGR vs 23-24% SPY.”

Tyler & Amanda D.

“This course took a novice with no idea whatsoever in the world of investing and transformed me into an investor with savvy, guts and the methodology to be successful. The fear of the unknown is gone and is replaced with a plan and step by step procedure.

Looking back, I’m grateful we took that leap of faith that brought us to where we are today. Again, thank you Cole for opening the door and showing us the way.”

Doug & Joanne F.

“Cole I’ve not only really enjoyed the course (despite struggling time wise during a “perfect storm” in my business) but I’m truly grateful thanks for giving me a new outlook on my life and way forward into retirement. It has galvanised me into taking action on things I’ve been thinking about and procrastinating on for 5 years - selling my businesses etc and simplifying my life.”

Vince S.
Tauranga, New Zealand

“The future looks so bright… I am so glad I found Cole. His guidance and mentorship taught me how to evaluate stocks and more importantly gave me the confidence to build a more concentrated portfolio. The more concentrated I get, using the principles taught in the workshop, the more success I have. What used to be just a dream, my comfortable retirement and spending time with my family is now a reality, thanks to Cole. And it will happen several years sooner. I just wish I had found Find Fat Fish earlier.”

Carla W.

“Find Fat Fish provides the perfect approach to long-term investment because it synthesizes the analytics that I encountered during business school into simple, crucial questions that make up the foundation of value-based investing.”

Paul C.
New York, USA

“Hey mate, how are you? I don’t know if you remember, but you took me through a crash course on your principles on investing a while back. I invested $80k in 2022, in four companies and the stocks have more than doubled in value. Additionally, when Walter was born I researched four companies and decided to continually invest $50 a fortnight into these companies for Walter’s future. They have made close to a 60% return in value too.

Thanks again for the advice Cole. Every time I look at my portfolio, I have a smile that you couldn’t remove with a wire brush.”

“I feel we have now obtained the tools that were left out of the tool box to make my job easier. All the tools are in the tool box and I am getting better at using them. I never want to experience the feeling of desperation and I now know I will not have this feeling.”

“This is literally worth gold, this has helped me soooo much over the last year or so. Not having to cash in those Fish until I want to is going to help me not be an old wrinkly on the work site.”

“From Kindergarten Teacher to Confident Investor!

In 2024 I discovered Find Fat Fish and my eyes were opened to a whole new world of stock picking. With Cole’s unmatched coaching, I learned how to vet, pick, and trade with confidence in just eight weeks. There was no jargon and no unrealistic promises—just a simple yet comprehensive method that anyone can understand.

As a female and a kindergarten teacher, I could never have imagined the kind of success I’ve achieved with the portfolio I built as a result of the Find Fat Fish course.”

Karen C.

“If an artist can do it, anyone can…

If you want to learn about investing, read a book or a blog. If you want genuine, life-altering transformation, Cole's Find Fat Fish is in a league of its own.

I’m a professional artist and entrepreneur with zero corporate, financial, or investing background; never even had a 401K. But I’ve worked with Cole three times over 10+ years, and every experience has been a home run.

On paper, the results speak for themselves: I originally started back around 2015 as a pure experiment. Following Cole's framework, I begrudgingly put $600 into 2 shares of Amazon, and sold them years later for ~$5,000. Our next session in 2018 led me to a single, concentrated 7-figure position that left our newfound financial advisor stunned and mildly terrified.

Beyond the numbers, I'm most proud of and grateful for the psychological shift. I often overthink, make excuses, and talk myself into inaction, but exercises like pitching in 'The Fish Market' forced me to drop the blame, take total ownership, and take real action. Today, I’m a confident leader of my family's investments and feel completely in control of my financial future.

The Word Of Cod works!”

“I Have Been Surprised At My Calmness…

Much of your course dealt with what I would do in a share market crash. With my shares tumbling in price and my wife bemoaning me losing money (all of which had been gains of my shares appreciating) I have been surprised at my calmness. I have followed your checks on the companies. Happy they are solid I have remained unstressed by their lower prices…

I feel like I am gaining more control both strategically and time management wise since we finished up, so your teachings have flowed on to our dairy side of things as well. So thanks again.”

“Cole, you can officially call yourself a millionaire maker!!

I’d like to share some of my single day updates as well as the gut wrenching down days that I went through, however, following the FFF rules I came out in the sun!!”

“A Bright Future…

After almost 40 years of entrepreneurship and owning successful businesses I had had very little success investing in the sharemarket.

When signing on for Cole’s Find Fat Fish class 3 years ago I had no idea I was teetering on the precipice of a huge funnel of learning and knowledge. That funnel has turned into a vortex of focus and concentration, not just on successful financial investing but also on the profound paradigm shift I've had that has been life changing.

While it would have been good to have done this 25 years ago, I am now more optimistic than ever about the future. With confidence and clarity, I look forward to the next 25 years with enthusiasm and determination.​

I extend my sincere gratitude to Cole for his guidance and the invaluable insights gained through the Find Fat Fish program.​”

Hi Cole, Happy to let you know our two Fat Fish are now worth $NZ418,000 2 months shy of 2 years. Cheers, Bishop & Fiona”

“Paid for itself many times over!!

My wife and I completed the 8-week Find Fat Fish course in 2022. This was a huge eye opener, not only teaching us how to create huge returns by focused stock investment, but also how to manage our personal spending and money habits to allow us to invest more. Throughout the 8 week course we found and invested in a group of stocks which have averaged a return of north of 200% over the past 3 years!”

“Keen for a Zoom chat at the weekend? I’ve just made my annual salary in the last 2 days…

It’d be good to talk about ‘living off your investments’ if we could. Because I feel this could possibly be in the not too distant future.”
