  • Time well spent

    If you’re looking for a podcast that consistently delivers thoughtful, long-term perspectives, _Talking Billions_ is a standout. The host has a truly unique voice in the podcasting space—both literally and in how he guides conversations. No matter who the guest is, he creates a calm, focused discussion that emphasizes principles over hype. The result is a rare listening experience where the tone stays grounded in long-term, principles-based thinking rather than reacting to the news of the day. I... more

  • Updated.

    I had a different rating and review previously, but I’ve grown to love this show and Bogumil’s calm voice. Bogumil is truly an exceptional human being, so aligned and so focussed. I feel grateful to be able to have access to his learnings and life lessons. He is an inspiration to me.

  • I wish Bogumil had a more engaging voice

    I like this guy’s books, but his voice is too boring and calm and non-stimulating to get through a podcast. Well, in previous sentence lies his advantage, he has truly spent a lot of time trying to wire himself differently than the crowd, by building patience, discipline, mindfulness and a long term thinking. But it’s all too boring to listen to, and while he may be excited on the inside, he does a poor job of brining that excitement to life, at least vocally. The podcasts do have great content ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

100 Year Thinkers, Ep. 8: The Problem with Modern Portfolio Theory | Robert Hagstrom on How Investing Lost Its Way
Q: What would be the first baby steps for an investor to shift toward business-driven investing?
Start by maintaining a broadly diversified core for safety, then allocate a small portion (five to twenty percent) to Buffett-style concentrated bets focused on cash flow, return on invested capital, and intrinsic value, while keeping the rest in a traditional diversified approach.
Byron Tully: The Secret Life of Old Money: What Wealthy Families Know That They Don't Talk About
Q: Could you tell me more about it?
Byron explains that the core of the old-money philosophy is not the wealth itself but the values—health, education, discipline, and manners—that allow wealth to be managed over generations and turned into meaningful opportunities rather than conspicuous consumption.
Kai Wu: Intangible Assets: The Dark Matter of Finance — The Invisible Forces Driving Company Value Why the Balance Sheet Misses Most of What Makes a Business Worth Owning
Q: What does success look like for you in this field?
Professional success means intellectual freedom to pursue innovative ideas, independence, and the ability to affect clients positively through novel insights, even if that means challenging conventional wisdom.
Kai Wu: Intangible Assets: The Dark Matter of Finance — The Invisible Forces Driving Company Value Why the Balance Sheet Misses Most of What Makes a Business Worth Owning
Q: How do you see AI affecting investment research and the job market in finance?
AI will automate many routine tasks, but it will also elevate human judgment for higher-value work. The future of finance involves using AI to handle data-heavy, repetitive work while humans focus on interpretation, strategy, and relationship-building. The pace of change matters; if deployment is too fast, it could cause disruption, but a measured approach can enhance capabilities.
Kai Wu: Intangible Assets: The Dark Matter of Finance — The Invisible Forces Driving Company Value Why the Balance Sheet Misses Most of What Makes a Business Worth Owning
Q: Kai, what motivates your intangible value framework and how does it differ from traditional value investing?
It's about acknowledging that much of value resides in things not captured by the balance sheet—IP, brands, talent, and networks. The framework provides a language to integrate growth with value investing, enabling investors to see opportunities in intangible-rich businesses like NVIDIA, Coca-Cola, or Apple, and to avoid overreliance on price-to-book alone.
