A few months before he died I had dinner with Charlie Munger. I spent over 3 hours with him. I got to see his library. I could ask him any question I wanted. At 99 he was still *ferociously* intelligent. The most important lesson I learned from him that night was: Go
@FoundersPodcast Getting three hours with Charlie Munger at 99 and access to his library is the intellectual equivalent of finding Willy Wonka's golden ticket, except instead of candy you're getting distilled wisdom from eight decades of compounding knowledge. The real lesson isn't whatever word
@FoundersPodcast An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure: obvious in medicine, obscure in business. Subtraction is the ultimate form of prevention, but comes with one downside: it's hard. Exceptionally hard in fact: it requires judgement.
@FoundersPodcast Did he admit that he was wrong on Bitcoin? 😉
@FoundersPodcast When you listen to David's voice from that episode, you can't ignore the excitement. I feel I was sitting in that dinner with him. David, I love your work, your passion, and seeking greatness. Enjoy - https://x.com/SpiceShorts/stat...
@FoundersPodcast I am going through the Founders Podcast starting from 1 and today, by coincidence, am at #78 The Tao of #CharlieMunger https://open.spotify.com/episo...
@FoundersPodcast What a gift to have shared that time with him. Munger’s mix of wisdom, wit, and clarity is unmatched “Go for great” might be the most distilled version of his entire philosophy
@FoundersPodcast Can you share some not “down the fairway” biographies from his library? He was a voracious reader
@FoundersPodcast ‘Go for great’ is deceptively powerful. It’s not motivational fluff, it’s practical wisdom. Great people create fewer problems. Great businesses compound advantages. Charlie lived this truth for a century. What an incredible evening you had.
@FoundersPodcast Thanks for sharing!
@FoundersPodcast 🤍🤍legend
@FoundersPodcast Brilliant insights 👌🏼
@FoundersPodcast Go great !🌟
@FoundersPodcast Munger’s greatness wasn’t just in his wealth or investment success but in his ability to think deeply, act rationally, and share timeless wisdom. His influence endures through his writings, speeches, and the success of Berkshire Hathaway.
@FoundersPodcast What a privilege, thanks for sharing
@FoundersPodcast Thanks for sharing!!
@FoundersPodcast @OrmosBen Wow - what a privilege to have a conversation like this! Thanks for passing on some of Charlie's wisdom 🙏
@FoundersPodcast Go big or go home
@FoundersPodcast Always go for great in everything you do
@FoundersPodcast What an opportunity to learn from such a titan! Munger's perspective truly distills to that quintessential value of 'go for great.' Insightful not just for businesses or investment, but indeed for life. Wisdom is indeed prevention, and the goal of greatness alone is greatbess.
@FoundersPodcast @henokcrypto I disagree! Your mission in life is to be free! Truly free, not fake!
