Don't Retire, Pull a Mel Gibson Oct 23, 2024

I delve into Mel Gibson's spot-on perspective on retirement, which I contend is unnatural in the modern hedonistic context. I explore Gibson’s commitment to staying creative and active into his later years, doing work that matters, and contrast this with our societal norm of subsidized and unexamined retirement.

Leandro González-Sicilia - Multi-Generational Family Businesses, Luxury Investing, Hermès Oct 07, 2024

I welcome Leandro of Best Anchor Stocks to Gentleman Speculator. Leandro is the co-founder of an investment research service and an equity analyst I deem worthy of paying attention to. We discuss the value of multi-generational family businesses, focusing especially on Hermès. Despite challenges, there is a small subset of public companies where being family controlled is a benefit. We talk luxury investing, how luxury brands are a reflection of human nature, and a contrast between European and American markets.

Leandro's work is thoughtful. He’s a deep researcher, and a bottom-up, long-term investor who avoids the noise.

The Real Zorro, Noblesse Oblige, Gentleman Speculator Sep 11, 2024

https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/

You heard right. The Reformed Financial Advisor Podcast? It's gone. Dead and buried. From now on, it's Gentleman Speculator. Cleaner. Sharp as a stiletto heel. Like Alain Delon's tailored slacks.
Money is a tool. But this isn’t about counting beans anymore. We’re talking shadows, where the real power reveals itself. The true Zorro? It's William Lamport. And he doesn’t just fight with a sword; he fights with secrets. Bruce Wayne’s noblesse oblige? That’s not rotten lefty philanthropy—it’s blood, sweat, and munificence bestowed on a world that can't get clean.
In this cesspool we call progress, a few old stories still have teeth - The Dark Knight, Finkle-McGraw, Holmes, and, Marlowe. Sharp enough to bite, vicious enough to remind us of the American myths we once knew.
The truth? The answers are out there, somewhere between the rain-soaked streets of high finance and the dusted corridors of the liberal arts. It’s all connected—sleuthing, speculating, playing the long game. And if you're not seeing the big picture, you're already yesterday's news.
But don’t expect an easy listen. The rabbit hole’s deep, one misstep and you're in free fall.
Welcome to Gentleman Speculator.

Deflation, Sound Money, Is Bitcoin "Good?" | Tim Wuebker Aug 06, 2024

In conversation again with Tim Wuebker. We discussed inflation, deflation, hard money, and the moral case for Bitcoin. I recall how the 2008 financial crisis led me to question the stability of traditional financial systems and eventually turned me towards Bitcoin, especially during the money-printing spree of 2020. We delved into the advantages of Bitcoin, such as its deflationary nature, portability, and cryptographic security, while also addressing the challenges, including its public ledger and the need for tech-savviness to manage private keys. It's always a good time to do a go-anywhere chat with Tim.

Lean Entrepreneurship, Twitter, Harrison Butker | Bryant Suellentrop Jun 25, 2024

Notes on Young Michael Saylor May 09, 2024

I dive into evolution of Michael Saylor alongside his company, MicroStrategy, illustrating Saylor's rise from humble beginnings, the establishment of MicroStrategy driven by his tech foresight, and the challenges he faced post an accounting scandal in 2000. I consider Saylor as a visionary who deftly navigates through adversities, embraces innovations like Bitcoin, displays skin in the game, and always a willingness to risk it all.

Against 'Die with Zero' Feb 19, 2024

In this episode, I delve into optimizing life while leaving a meaningful legacy. I critique the "Die With Zero" concept, popularized by Bill Perkins and others. Perkins stresses intentional living by managing time, wealth, and health effectively, but at the expense of family wealth and legacy.

I also explore the societal shift towards individualism and instant gratification and contrast it with the traditional values of family and legacy. The role of the family can be in providing support, guidance, and purpose. Building family wealth and nurturing intergenerational connections are ways to leave a lasting impact that extends beyond one's lifetime.

True Financial Independence | Unchained's Trey Sellers Apr 26, 2023

Trey Sellers of Unchained and Andy Flattery discuss how bitcoin relates to the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) movement.
Bitcoin allows individuals to hold their wealth in money itself rather than subpar assets like real estate, stocks, bonds, or gold. Sellers explains that the demonetization of assets occurs when traditional money loses value over time and individuals have to choose where to store their value. He argues that the monetary premium for these other assets, such as real estate and index funds, can be replaced with bitcoin as the global standard for wealth preservation.

Jack White, Tinkering, & the Limits of Goals Based Planning Nov 07, 2022

Factory financial advice limits high achievers. Successful people will often credit things like skills acquired, stepping stone achievements, risk taking, connections made, and luck for their greatest accomplishments.
They don’t credit a goals based plan for retirement that they made 30 years ago!
Instead of being laser focused on retirement, the alternative is to be a craftsman in something, have broad interests, take small risks & be a tinkerer, and don't retire, just pivot. The singer of "Seven Nation Army" provides the model.

Getting Your Bitcoin Off of Coinbase | Nick Neuman Aug 03, 2022

"So why won't there be bitcoin banks that do this (custody) for you? I think there will be, but there's always going to be one problem with this, which is that bitcoin transactions are irreversible. And so it's an inherent core change in the security model of bitcoin compared to the legacy banking system. And because of that, there's always going to be some level of additional risk with holding your bitcoin in a bitcoin bank."
- Nick Neuman, CEO of Casa
Andy Flattery & Nick Neuman discuss:
- The basics of BTC self-custody
- Nick's Kansas City roots
- The "grand plan" career path isn't the way to become CEO of a BTC company
- "Bitcoin banking" is fundamentally difficult
- Voldemort's Horcruxes and Multi-Signature Self Custody

The Wall Street ESG Scheme | Kyle Hill Jun 01, 2022

It’s the month of June, which means it’s the month where your favorite financial services provider wants to make sure that you know that they have all the allowable and respectable opinions... they support The Current Thing!

The Case for Owning Individual Stocks Sep 08, 2021

It is my belief that yes, you can own individual stocks in your long-term holdings. While some financial advice tells you that mutual funds, ETFs, and robo advisors are your only option, I think they are missing the mark. An alternative path, as David Gardner put it, is to "find good companies and hold those positions tenaciously over time to yield multiples upon multiples of your original investment."

Creating the Naval Ravikant Book | Eric Jorgenson Sep 16, 2020

Eric Jorgenson did something incredible with his book "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness." Eric curated the best of Naval’s wisdom from twitter, podcasts, and writings into one resource. I was only vaguely familiar with Naval’s work prior to reading the book and am grateful that Eric created the resource for learning more about him.
Naval Ravikant is the founder of Angel List, an early stage investor in companies like Twitter and Uber, and has one more popular Twitter accounts that I have seen. He's known for his thoughts on investing, entrepreneurship, crypto, and wealth.
