And she was like, you guys got to cite your sources.

Like, what are you doing?

Yeah.

I got to imagine for your subjects, and I think a big part of us too, is like, there's the truthy aspect, which is very, very important, but there's also the like,

This is going to be great.

Like, this is going to be really fun.

This is going to be entertaining to read, and people are going to consume it.

That's, I think, a huge motivation for our sources.

It feels like a Michael Lewis book.

We'd always been searching for a way to land the plane on the episodes.

Like, we'd tell this story, and we'd finish the story, but that felt unsatisfying.

What's the takeaway?

Yeah, and so we had all various permutations of analysis at the end.

Yeah, you know, it's a bull and bear, and grading, and blah, blah, blah.

Once we shifted to, like, hey, we're studying these great companies, these durable businesses...

Power felt like a really good part of that, like, so what?

Why?

For me, a critical, critical part of process, it goes back to writing a senior thesis at Princeton.

Everything needs to pass through multiple cycles of source material, through my brain, through my fingers, onto a keyboard, and recycle back through about three times.

And so, like, I don't use AI note-taking.
