My First Million · Howard Marks: how I make money while you worry about a market crash · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

And, of course, I always gave him full support in the things he wanted to do.

If your kids want to do something, and A, it's not going to be injurious, and yeah, maybe there's no B, let them do it.

Like when...

When my daughter was getting out of lower school and had to choose an upper school, she applied to the two good schools in LA, got in, and we let her choose.

My wife and I had a sense for which one we wanted her to go to, but we concluded that, like I always say, we could be wrong.

Our choice could be the wrong choice.

And anyway, of the two choices, while one might be better than the other, neither was a bad choice.

So if that's true, let the kid make the choice.

And they get experience with making choices.

And maybe they get experience with making incorrect choices, which is very important.

First, I want to say, Franchen, that the thing you describe, I did a terrible job of.

I was unconscious.

The decisions I made in my first 20 years, as they say in religion, I did not apply intention.

I let other people make the decision.

I made decisions haphazardly.

I didn't think about it a lot.

I'm embarrassed at how terrible my decision-making process was.

In fact, it's a misnomer to apply that term.

But having said that, I think it's desirable to make your choices with intention, well-reasoned, et cetera.

And what I tell kids is my favorite quote is from a writer named Christopher Morley, who said, there is only one success to live your life your own way.
