Welcome back. Just a short podcast today, but one that hopefully you will find has more value per minute of

is just share with you some of my favorite things that I've read recently. Quotes from

So I've been collecting some quotes for years maybe decades at this point. I have a Google Doc on my desktop called Thoughts

where I just randomly collect all of these little sentences that I come across from various

authors and thinkers and fund managers, whoever it might be.

So let me just share with you some of these today that I've read recently that I thought were worth sharing with you.

People in their 30s know where the world is going because they're going to do it. I am in my 80s so I have no idea.

That was from Daniel Kahneman, the great psychologist, who as you may have seen passed away yesterday.

He was an incredible man, lived an incredible life. He said that at a dinner that I went to about a decade ago
