Overconfidence is the killer.

Radical optionality over truth.

Your only edge is the speed at which you can change your mind.

I have some other material in hard copy. There are one or two that I think you will appreciate, especially the one on brand building. Will DM you.

I stumbled upon lectures by Anton Rupert and quickly realised his thoughts were 50 years ahead of his time.

I have since fallen in love with his wisdom and I have started to devour everything about him that I can get my hands on.

Few pieces of wisdom I have discovered so far:

@jeremygiffon I saw @tomowenmorgan quote and thought the same thing

I always think of Tom Murphy painting only the two road-facing sides of their headquarters to save costs, while Steve Jobs was obsessing over making the inside of Apple computers look nice

Recent South African Election Poll*:
Rassie will get 4.9 million votes
Siya will get 6.2 million votes

If we do a Rassie-Siya Kolisi and throw in Jesse Kriel as Minister of Defense we have enough votes to change the constitution.

@jacksondahl @jeremygiffon Would also love to hear a whole lot more. When @jeremygiffon and @jacksondahl Dialectic episode?

Buffett’s genius wasn’t just picking winners. It was building a machine where winners never leaked.

Build your own machine. Or watch taxes quietly eat your compounding.

Difference between rich and legend.

[James Rothmann @JamesRothmann]

Let's do a thought experiment

Without this one skill, Buffett wouldn’t be worth $151B. He’d be worth $14B. Still rich, but no legend.

What set him apart was not only knowing how to invest...

[James Rothmann @JamesRothmann]

Buffett engineered his ownership to make compounding sacred.

His wealth did not grow in a vacuum.

It grew on tax-aware engineering.
He did not just compound returns.
He compounded the compounding process.
