  • Need more differentiation

    I had hoped for more differentiation and original thinking from the interviews. A Celonis CEO interview would be much more interesting than hearing from more pe guy, big asset managers or another “next Warren Buffett”.

  • Smart, Engaging, Potentially Life-Changing

    I can’t remember being so enthusiastic about a newly launched podcast before.

  • Nuanced Brilliance …

    I believe the importance of interview of Combs is that the dialogue uncovers EXACTLY why he is where he is and … that the Berkshire holders can sleep just a little bit better as they contemplate life without W and C.

    Todd Combs is that rare individual that on one hand is tenaciously granular about making sure his investment is what he thinks it is … and yet he still sees the BIG picture about the portfolio and life. That’s not easy.

  • Great guests, interview was meh

    Had high hopes going in given the guest list (Todd Combs!) Sadly, the hosts rambled on with a lot of digressions.There were some good bits, but overall, this didn’t feel like a good use of an hour of time for everyone involved.
