Podcasts Iโm listening
Master Investor Ed Thorp on How to think for yourself and many more topics โ This is a long format podcast but there’s some invaluable takeaways from Ed’s experience. I’m a big fan of the Tim’s questions to his guests and the insights that he gleans from them. What particularly excited me in this podcast was how Ed was leveraging the power of compounding in anything he does, be it investing, loosing weight, forming habits, learning new things etc. Really loved the concept of “scrap time” and hope to incorporate in my life as well.
