Charlie Munger's Interview with Todd Combs
Notas do episódio
I'm excited to share this previously unreleased 2022 conversation between Charlie Munger and Todd Combs.
As with any Munger talk, the subjects are both deep and wide. You'll learn how Munger recognized people worth betting on, chose problems worth solving, and turned a long attention span into an unfair advantage.
A special thank you to the Singleton Foundation, Todd Combs, and William Thorndike for giving me the permission to share this with you. You can find a link to the full transcript here.
