Is it about him?

Acquired

Yeah, it's about the ascendancy of his career.

And then two is, I just love reading Morgan Housel, and his new book, The Art of Spending Money, is really fun.

Acquired

I mean, it's where I get most of my latent ideas of, hey, dummy, money's not going to make you any happier.

Who translated it for you?

Acquired

This woman, Karina Bao, did a translation for us.

Just for you.

You remember a place.

I listened to an episode of Invest Like the Best about a year ago, which was a really, really long interview with Graham Duncan.

Acquired

I didn't listen to the shorter version.

But one of my biggest takeaways from that is about having the correct grip.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

that you don't wanna have too tight of a grip on your work, but you don't wanna have too loose of a grip.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

You need to play with an appropriate grip

for whatever the task is that you're trying to do.

Acquired

And you'll, if you're gripping too tight, you know, you're going to pull it or you're going to, it's going to feel too mechanical, too unnatural.

And if it's too loose, like you're not minding the shop enough, you know, you're, you get, you're going to get your head back in the game.
