Enrique touts that he’s made money in every down market, a hard thing to accomplish. “I made money in ‘98. I made money in the melt down. I made money in the melt up too – not a lot of people can say both of those. I made money on September 11. I made money in the financial crisis. And I plan on making money out of the coronavirus fallout.” Enrique’s first expensive splurge purchase speaks volumes about him... “I paid off my mom’s debt, gave her a very generous chunk of change, and told her she never had to work again if she didn’t want to.” STRUCTURE IN CHAOS “I’m very high-energy. I’m very high stimulus. That’s actually partially an outcropping of what’s called extended childhood trauma... It’s basically PTSD. But what happens is, your body is hyper-stimulated for such a long period that it literally rewires your brain.” Enrique’s near-compulsion with structure can be seen in his food journaling taken to an extreme... He has logged every single thing he’s eaten or drank for the last 10 years in a spreadsheet. He has a similar Excel spreadsheet for the concerts he’s attended... more than 750 so far in his life. Gone are the days when he made sure his ink was hidden under long-sleeved suit jackets on Wall Street. Enrique with Jim Root of Slipknot.
In keeping with the theme, Enrique is a fan of aggressive exercise... He practices Muay Thai kickboxing and is a long-distance runner, running more than 1,000 miles a year. He’s even completed five of the six major world marathons (New York, London, Boston, Tokyo, and Chicago), setting a new personal record at each one. Much of Enrique’s upper body is covered in tattoos. He estimates roughly 100 sessions of pain in the tattoo chair. His favorite tattoo is his daughter’s name in Hebrew on the side of his head, and sometimes he likes to shave his hair into a mohawk to highlight the ink. (Gone are the days when he made sure his ink was hidden under long-sleeved suit jackets on Wall Street.) His first tattoo was ONE LIFE across his chest – basically a reminder to take the risks and have no regrets in life. Also, as Enrique puts it simply, “Do the work.” Enrique combines hard work and big risks in his life...
