Welcome, to a fresh, quick-take episode of Capitol Gains — our "sub-pod," titled Off The Cuff. If you've tuned in before, you know Capitol Gains usually dives deep into the intricate waters of community development, public finance and the intersection of deep thinking and muni bonds, but today, we're taking a different approach: light, unfiltered, and off the cuff.

This mini-cast is all about keeping things lively, with less of the usual industry jargon and more real talk with the people who navigate these complex arenas. We'll bring you unscripted, honest conversations with experts, insiders, and maybe even a few outsiders, too.

Today, we're thrilled to have James Pruskowski of 16Rock Asset Management. James is a name that's echoed through the halls of Wall Street for decades, especially if you've traded municipal bonds. From his roots in New Jersey to his transformative career at BlackRock, James has seen it all and then some. He’s here to give us a glimpse behind the curtain of his storied career, and we might even throw in a few curveball questions to keep things interesting.
