| 0:00.0 | We study billionaires and this is episode 83 of the Investors Podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | Broadcasting from Bel Air, Maryland. This is the Investors Podcast. |
| 0:14.0 | They'll read the books and summarize the lessons. They'll test the waters, tell you what it's called. |
| 0:19.0 | They'll give you actionable investing strategies. |
| 0:23.0 | Your host, Preston Pish, and St. Brooderson. |
| 0:29.0 | Hey, everyone. How you doing out there? This is Preston Pish. I'm your host for the Investors Podcast. |
| 0:33.0 | And as usual, I'm a company by my co-host St. Brooderson, out in Denmark. |
| 0:37.0 | And today we've got a book for you and this book was written by a billionaire. |
| 0:41.0 | And his name is T-Boon Pickens. And I'm sure many people out there know of T-Boon Pickens. |

| 1:35.0 | And what I would really like to learn from a billionaire would be something like Oprah's book. This is the life lessons. |
| 1:41.0 | I don't think it was kind of a life lessons book. It's more like see how I created this and see how my sports seem won all these events. |
| 1:49.0 | No, I'm glad you said that because I didn't really know what to say other than I guess I didn't really like it. |
| 1:55.0 | But you hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what it was. Now that you said that it makes perfect sense. |
| 2:01.0 | He was really trying to annotate and put into writing what it was that he did through all the years. |
