Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q Did you talk about the letters with him?
A No, I asked him about like, so I was explaining to him. I was like, Charlie, I'm literally in the middle of like reading about you when you were like around my age. So every time I read a book, I'm like, okay, I, first of all, I know what year they're, they're born. So every time as I go through the books, I'm like, how old are they? And I write down, okay, he's 24 here. He's starting. I want to know what they were doing in and around my age. And so I was like, Charlie, I'm thinking about you guys, like you just started, like your fund starts, he's like, 41 or something like that, I don't remember what it was, right? And, um, and I was like, then like 50, like you start out, you're trying to figure things out, you could see them kind of figuring out, making the mistakes, you guys did an excellent job on your episode, like, talking about what they learned from, getting to, like, get away from the Ben Graham, like, get to wonderful, excellence, great businesses are rare, we should be in there, and then just let time do all the work, and I was like, and now, like, you guys put up the greatest Investment record the world's ever seen. It's like, are you surprised? He goes, of course. He's like, of course I'm surprised. Like, how could you not be? Like, we want to be successful, and we were like, had, we were ambitious and driven, but there's no way you could say, hey, I'm gonna wait…

Q Like, we spent hours and hours and hours on Zoom. Uh, How did you, like, decide that this is what you were gonna do with your time on this planet? And, like, how did, what led to this?
A Okay, so, I, you know, our mutual friend Jeremy from Formula of Tiny, um, I just spent, like, a bunch of hours with him. He was in town. In one sentence, He, like, he psychoanalyzed me better than anybody else ever has. He goes, you didn't have any mentors growing up, so you, like, you have, then you took it to, like, this extreme, and he said it more, much more eloquently than I am, but he's like, you didn't have any mentors, so I view your career as, like, this psychopathic, uh, search for, like, mentors that can help you, you know, and so, like, to answer your question, it's like, I don't want to go into too much detail here, but, uh, like, I've only had one habit my whole life, and that was reading. I was reading for as long as I can remember. Uh, my mom passed away from breast cancer a couple years ago, And she, we didn't have, like, a lot of money, like, long story, but, like, I was the first person, not only to graduate college, but, like, high school in my family, like, I came from a family, like, unfortunately, both sides of the family, like, no education, a lot of, like, just bad habits, so I identify with a lot what Charlie Munger says because he essentially observes bad behavior and then tries to do the opposite, right? So I was just, let me give you an example. I was just up in Canada, um, actually at an event, uh, Andrew Wilkinson was hosting for a bunch of entrep…

Q How? Also, none of us know this guy's name.
A Yeah. And so then, then you realize it's like, he says in the book, he's like, his estate outside of Chicago was so big, he had 40 full-time employees. I'm like, what? Like, what are you talking about? Like, make these words make sense in my mind. That doesn't make any sense to me. So you read Albert Lasker, and then he tells you about Claude Hopkins. He's like, yeah, the information was so good that, like, I stored that in my vault for 20 years. And then once he sold his, uh, advertising, uh, or I think he gave it away, like, a token, like, 100,000 dollar, you know, to the people working, uh, there. And then they released it. And Claude went off on his own and everything else. So these are not like.

Cole and answer your question also about like, I'm glad you guys are so much nicer where you're like, do you have any feedback? Cause like, I, I can't stand feedback. We're like, not in the sense of, like, like I told you, I texted you guys this one time where like, uh, one guy, it was fucking hilarious. The guy was like, hey, um, I don't like that you reference, like, the superpower of the show is that I tie, it's not like, the episode on Ralph Lauren is gonna tell you how Ralph thinks, like, Andrew Carnegie, and Rockefeller, and Bezos, and it's like.
