Hi, folks.
It's lovely to be back with you again on the Richer, Wiser, Happier Podcast.
Today is a special celebratory episode that's going to be a little different from our usual programming.
We recently hit a big landmark for the podcast.
We released our 50th episode, which made me want to pause and look back and think about some of the most valuable lessons that I've learned from these past 50 episodes.
Since the podcast launched back in March 2022, I think all of us are a little bit overwhelmed by the bombardment of inputs and information that we get from the media.
And so I think it's really valuable to stop and take stock and really try to internalize some of the most important lessons and try to figure out how we're actually going to use them in our own lives to affect the way we invest and the way we think and the way we live.
But before we get to any of those specific lessons, I really wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for actually joining me on this journey over the last two and a half years or so.
When I started the podcast, I kind of expected just to do about eight episodes, which I thought I would call the Richer, Wiser, Happier conversations, and then I'd be done and would go back to my usual life.
But what I discovered, much to my delight, is that I actually really loved doing a podcast.
There's something really wonderful about having these very rich, long form conversations with amazing people.
And I just was thrilled that I got to chat often over an hour and a half, two hours with these people like Howard Marks or Bill Miller or Ray Dalio or Rick Rieder, who is managing $2.6 trillion, or Joe Greenblatt or Annie Duke Aswath de Modern.
And it just seemed to me in many ways to combine all the parts of being a journalist that I loved most without the most painful parts.
So I would get to do all of the research, which is great fun, and the interviews, which I love.
But I wouldn't have the torture of actually sitting in my room on my own, bashing my head against a computer screen, trying to do the writing, which is incredibly difficult.
So that was really fun.
And then at the same time, another thing I really love is the fact that the guests are really candid, so they're really sharing a lot of the most valuable lessons that they've learned.
Which made me think about this great line from Charlie Munger who said that the best thing a human being can do is to help another Human being know more.
So that really was the spirit of the podcast from the start.
