| 0:02.6 | Hi there, I'm really excited about today's episode. |
| 0:05.7 | My guest is Joel Greenblatt, who's one of the most successful hedge fund managers in history. |
| 0:10.3 | Joel famously set up a hedge fund when he was 27 years old and then managed to average |
| 0:15.5 | a return of 40% a year over the next 20 years. |
| 0:19.4 | At that rate, a million dollars turns into $836 million, which I think you'll agree |
| 0:24.4 | as a pretty mind-blowing achievement. |
| 0:26.6 | I wrote about Joel at length in my book, Richard Weiserhappier, and what really struck me |
| 0:31.5 | is that he has this incredible gift for simplifying the game of investing. |
| 0:36.2 | Nobody I've met thinks or talks more clearly and logically about how to play this game successfully. |

| 1:11.6 | As I'm sure you'll see, he's just a lovely guy who's extremely modest and decent and good-natured. |
| 1:18.3 | It's really impressive to me how humble and grounded he's managed to remain |
| 1:22.2 | despite all of his success and fame and adulation. |
| 1:25.9 | Personally, he's just one of the people I like and admire most in the investing world. |
| 1:31.1 | In this conversation, we talk about how he deals with the emotional intensity and stress of investing. |
| 1:37.5 | We talk about the importance of playing games that you're truly equipped to win |
