“So every victory by Notre Dame, that’s a victory for us.”
A real missed opportunity excluding this scene from “Rudy.” Ninety seconds that puts into perspective what made Notre Dame so popular in its heyday.
The best class at Notre Dame, in my humble opinion, is the Art of Investing
I first met its professors, Rick Buhrman and Paul Buser, during their decade+ long tenure helping manage Notre Dame’s storied endowment, where they met and learned from just about every great investor alive (they often joke to me that they hosted Invest Like the Best before I did).
They invited me to teach their class one year, and it was unlike any other I’d ever encountered. Long sessions, with huge engagement and the deepest questions I’d been asked in a classroom.
What they teach about in their class is the many joys of compounding. Compounding dollars, sure, but also everything else. They focus on the components and inputs in the compounding equation and how students can apply the simple equation to their lives.
They brought in some of the worlds best operators and investors, from Mitch Rales to Jeff Wilke, to Ho Nam and Henry Ellenbogen and Anouk Dey.
I’ve now taught a section of the class for years. I’ve hired great people from it (👋 Gabi & Joanna). I love everything about it.
Then, Rick and Paul set off on a new adventure, to build an investing holding company called Sator Grove, where they now manage hundreds of millions for one of the most impressive shareholder bases I’ve ever seen.
They became large investors in my funds at Positive Sum. They are among my favorite partners.
And that brings us to the punchline. Earlier this year we all agreed it would be incredibly exciting to bring their class to the masses.
So, we are thrilled to announce the imminent launch of “The Art of Investing” podcast.
In the coming weeks, you’ll hear from Todd Combs, Ho Nam, and so many other exciting guest lecturers, including some who have never done a show in this format.

This furthers our mission at Colossus to bring the highest quality investing and business education to the entire world, at no cost.
We hope you enjoy the countless lessons in the Art of Investing!

Nearly 40,000 fans traveled from the US to Dublin for Saturday's game between Notre Dame & Navy.
Most of them (32,000) were cheering for Notre Dame.
And it represents the largest number of Americans traveling internationally for a single sporting event.
ND is a massive brand.
@jposhaughnessy@anthilemoon@Toastmasters I asked him a question in 2012 about skills that MBAs were lacking and he talked about his Dale Carnegie course! Walked out from fear the first time and pre-paid the next time to ensure he'd stick it out.
Which is most egregious;
Quenton Nelson 2nd to Ed Oliver for the Outland.
Rocket Ismail 2nd to Ty Detmer for the Heisman. Michael Mayer 2nd to Brock Bowers for the Mackey.
Halloween'22 was a blast with the neighbors. Samuel was able to keep up with the big kids and Eve crushed the strawberry costume. @ Plymouth, Minnesota https://t.co/jsFrpBdQ0I
