Many listeners of the show, myself included, have gained a wealth of knowledge from William Green.
I've learned just so much from his excellent book Richer, Wiser, Happier, and from listening to his exceptional interviews on tip.
But I never had the opportunity to chat with him, so I invited him onto the show to discuss some of the primary lessons from his book and share some of the knowledge that he's accumulated over his years of journalism.
After this episode ended, I got a chance to talk with William about the art of podcasting and he said something incredibly profound to me.
Whenever he interviews people, he's intentional about getting to the essence of what they're trying to say.
So even though he'll over prepare for an episode, he's also done just so much research and understands his guests at such a deep level that if an interesting point comes up that he thinks requires more depth, he's willing to explore those ideas even further.
My first question in today's episode deals with the essence of what William was chasing when he wrote Richer, Wiser, Happier.
As you'll hear, his primary focus was trying to make the best sense possible out of just an uncertain world.
Now, while there's no definitive blueprint for achieving this, his years of interviewing extraordinary investors have taught him that success often comes down to tipping the odds in your favor.
The essence of his excellent book was to learn strategies, principles, processes, insights, habits, and personality traits that outperformers have utilized to improve their odds of success.
