Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4018FUN
This is a unique Dividend Cafe but one that I think will have something for everybody. It speaks to a mentality and a framework that has more than just economic ramifications. It was inspired by a conversation I had with my wife on Wednesday night about some other things, and as our conversations often do, led to another track that led to another track that led to this inspiration for Dividend Cafe.
At the end of the day, investor behavior will always be the primary determinant of investor outcomes. And investor behavior is deeply tied to how one views the “last dollar on the table.” In fact, even outside of one’s investing life, their view of the “last dollar on the table” is likely to be highly relevant to the outcomes and experiences one will have.
One might even argue the “last dollar on the table” is the most expensive dollar one could ever pursue – financially and otherwise.
Let’s jump into the Dividend Cafe.

| 0:15.9 | I am recording from a land far, far away. |
| 0:19.1 | Have left New York City. |
| 0:20.4 | We'll be back in California this weekend, |
| 0:22.9 | but in the meantime have penned a really interesting Dividing Cafe this morning. And I want to |
| 0:31.0 | tell you why it's a little bit different. My wife and I were having dinner last night. We're having |
| 0:36.5 | a conversation. It starts |
| 0:37.6 | going down one track to another. It brings up a subject. And then all of a sudden, I found a |
| 0:43.4 | kind of application or utility that I was inspired to bring to you here in this Dividy Cafe |
| 0:49.7 | podcast. You're going to have to bear with me a little bit because I need to connect some dots |
| 0:55.0 | that are going to provide, I believe, a very important practical and lasting investment |
| 0:59.9 | application. But I want to start by sort of setting up a critique of a concept. It is a character |
| 1:14.5 | deficiency at times. It is a personality at times but it's a concept that I refer to as the last dollar that the notion that in a particular |
| 1:22.1 | transaction that someone is fighting and crot and scratching and and clawing for the very last dollar on the table. |
| 1:31.8 | And if you, like me, have been a part of a lot of business negotiations over the years, |

| 1:42.5 | to when one is buying and selling a business and |
| 1:45.3 | so forth. I've been a part of a lot of transactions myself and I've obviously been a part of |
| 1:49.6 | advising on a lot of transactions. But even if that is not your world and there isn't any |
