The Disruptor
Contrarian and drawn to the edge; challenges the settled answer.
Meb Faber fits The Disruptor because his instinct is to excavate neglected mechanisms and put them in the hands of ordinary investors.

At Cambria, democratization is not a marketing flourish. It is the operating logic behind every product he ships.

“I said to Wes, why can't we do this? Why can't we open this up, open enrollment to everyone to contribute? He says, I think we can.”
“We're trying to bring this to the masses and make it hopefully available for anyone.”
