This is episode 11 of the Steady Trade podcast with your host, Tim Bowen.

Without the internet, how could you know anything?

Today, Tim is absolutely thrilled to be joined by Jim Rogers.

Well, I'm not sure I know anything even with the Internet, Jim.

I'm trying to learn every day.

Jim was born in October, 1942.

He grew up in a small town in Alabama.

He was the co-founder of the Quantum Fund and Soros Fund Management,

and he talks a little bit about what it was like to work with George Soros.

I basically did the research, and he did the trading.

Jim also explains why he retired at the age of 37 and what he sees as ultimate success.

I wanted adventure. I went around the world on a motorcycle, as you know. I got in the Guinness

Book of Records a couple of times, so I wanted to do what I wanted to be free to do. I didn't want to have to be nice to people. I didn't want to be nice to. And best of all, Jim gives his advice on what the rest of us can do to find our own success. Well, everybody should do what they want if they want to go to Princeton and read literature by all means,

but if they want to become a welder or a farmer and they love it, they're going to be much, much more successful than everybody else if they find what they love and they do it.

So let's join the conversation between Tim and Jim as they discuss how a lot of people settled in life.

They stay in the same place they were born.

They take the same kind of job and live the same kind of life that their parents had.

Or maybe they go to law school or business school or medical school.

But none of those things were really all that interesting to Jim Rogers.

Were they, Jim?

About the only thing I was interested in was what was going on in the world.

I was very keen on the world around me and the world I hadn't seen yet, but wanted to see.
