  • Mohnish gives some of the best and most entertaining advice about investing!

    Mohnish consistently gives some of the best and most entertaining advice about investing! For me, he is easily the best story-teller of all investors. These stories really illuminate the points that he makes about the philosophy behind his investments. Not only will you learn some good ideas about what to do with your money, but you can pick up effective mental models for how to live your life in general!

  • Mashallah

    Mohnish is like a rich Grandpa, dispelling nuggets of wisdom here and there. The best things in the podcast have nothing to do with money, and everything to do with how to structure your life outside the balance sheet. He does say some contradicting stuff, but rudimentary logic will help you cut through that. He changed the trajectory of my life, I like to joke he pulled me out of sub 200 level consciousness (iykyk). More Power to you!

Mohnish Pabrai's Interview with Knowledge Inside podcast on August 19, 2026 - Episode 2
Q: If I were 16 years old today, what would you tell me to start doing right now for my future? And what should I stop doing?
Pabrai advises young people to identify the subjects and activities that genuinely excite them, treat those interests as clues to their calling, and commit to them early rather than waiting for society to encourage specialization.
Mohnish Pabrai's Interview with Knowledge Inside podcast on August 19, 2026 - Episode 2
Q: You said before that even someone starting with very little can build real wealth over time through compounding. If I were to say to that, oh, that's easy to say when you're already rich, how would you respond?
Pabrai describes saving 17% of his early income through a 401(k), including his employer match, and explains how steady contributions and investment returns compound over decades. He emphasizes consistency and recommends avoiding the temptation to chase fashionable investments.
Mohnish Pabrai's Interview with Knowledge Inside podcast on August 19, 2026 - Episode 1
Q: There are many investors; has there ever been a case where you and Buffett looked at the same company and reached different conclusions?
Yes, different life experiences lead to different conclusions; Buffett emphasizes moats and brand confidence (e.g., American Express), while I may reach different assessments, but both approaches rely on a deep understanding of a business's durable competitive advantages.
Mohnish Pabrai's Interview with Knowledge Inside podcast on August 19, 2026 - Episode 1
Q: After more than 30 years, how do you view the US stock market right now? Is it a good time to invest?
Index history shows long cycles of ups and downs; overall, expect future returns to be modest near-term, and consider treating Berkshire Hathaway as a proxy index due to its diversified, durable holdings; be selective and patient with individual stock picks.
Mohnish Pabrai's Interview with Knowledge Inside podcast on August 19, 2026 - Episode 1
Q: After our conversation, if I take everything you say to heart and act on it, what will change about the way that I invest?
Change your spending first by ensuring you live below your means; invest the surplus in a simple, autopilot strategy like index funds, and focus on owning a few great, durable businesses for the long term.
