Brutally honest guide to not losing money in the market

0:00If you could tell me something in the next 15 minutes that would make me a better investor, what's the first point you would just hammer into my head?

0:06Oh my God, put the phone down.

0:10Stop trading.

0:12I feel like I can rule the world.

0:13I know I could be what I want to.

0:16I put my all in it like the days off.

0:19On the road, let's travel, never looking back.

0:21I think the interesting place to start is we've had a few different people from the school of investing wisdom come on, sort of the value investing genealogy.

0:31And me and Sam, although we are not investors, we're definitely like entrepreneurs first and then, you know, investing as a sort of hobby sport type of thing.

0:40We're so attracted to it.

0:41We love the sort of investment wisdom, especially, especially your version, which is the aweshucks common sense version of investing, which is less about how to be super smart and do advanced things and just how to be less stupid than you already are.

0:55And don't worry, you'll be fine.

0:56And so I'm excited to talk to you.

0:58You have a cool story.

0:59You started off really in the content game, in the media game, blogging back in GeoCities early on with podcasting and built a large investment advisory shop called named after yourself.
