Thank YOU to @jonbonjovi and his wife Dorothea for a fantastic conversation at JBJ Soul Kitchen! 🙏🏻❤️🤛🏻 @PBS@JBJSoulFound it is episode 405 of season 4 of TO DINE FOR! https://t.co/KGVMSoiDxw
In 2001, Warren Buffett gave a talk at the University of Georgia.
He asked them the most Warren Buffett question ever:
• If you could invest in a friend and get 10% of their income for life -- who would you pick?
Once the students answered the question, he then asked this:
• Why would you invest in that person?
• What character traits do they have?
Now they have a list of character traits to adopt.
Shortly after this, Buffett asked:
If you could short a friend's earnings, who would you pick and why?
Now you have a list of character traits to avoid.

1. Do not think this thought experiment is only about money.
You can use it for whatever currency you value.
E.g. Happiness coin
If you could get 10% of a friend's happiness, who would you invest in and why?
If you could short someone's happiness, who would you pick and why?
You can run the same thought experiment with Fitness coin, Friendship coin, Romance coin, etc`
2. This thought experiment is genius because it hacks a bug in life's video game:
Humans are terrible at self-awareness.
But we are great at spotting things in other people.
E.g. If your friend is in the wrong relationship, you can realize in 10 minutes what may take them 10 years.
Daniel Kahneman summarised his book on cognitive biases with the following:
“The premise of this book is that it is easier to recognize other people’s mistakes than our own.” - Daniel Kahneman
3. Nuance - It has to be purely from merit.
Buffett says it can't be because someone will inherit a large sum from their parents.
It has to be based on their behavior.
E.g. If you want 10% of someone's fitness coin, it's not because of incredible genetics -- is because of the actions they take.

Some of the best discussions happen over a shared meal.
That's why I loved joining @KateSullivanTV on her To Dine For podcast where we discuss the true purpose of marketing to satisfy the needs of your consumer and so much more - all over a shared meal of some of my favorite foods from Southeast India.

To Dine For on #pbs has become one of my favorite shows - food and fascinating people.
And I aspire to ask the kind of questions that @KateSullivanTV does!
As a dad of three wild boys (all under the age of 6 😱), I often find myself saying “I need a break” in all the craziness of the day.
Then I get a break for work travel, and all I want is to have all the craziness back. Got into my Uber at 5am with tears running down my face.
Work travel is always a good reminder of how blessed we are to have that craziness. 💙💙💙
Recently, @KateSullivanTV had a conversation with Chris Voss (@fbinegotiator) which explored many different fun topics including Chris's career FBI, useful negotiation tips and his love for Silver Diner.

This is exactly what I mean when I say we need to teach our girls to be brave, not perfect. It’s a lesson that many of us adult women and moms can take away as well. @GirlsWhoCode
