Episode notes

Every investor has wondered how to invest like Warren Buffett. He’s arguably the best stock trader of all time—preaching the fundamentals of investing in equities, something that most modern-day investors seem to forget. We’re seeing the same thing in the real estate industry. With a runup of home prices and stock prices over the past two years, almost every investing strategy has worked. But, as prices begin to plummet, overconfident investors are starting to see the errors of their ways and that making money isn’t always easy. So in today’s risky environment, we have to ask: what would Warren (Buffett) do?

Someone who’s been asking that question for years is Trey Lockerbie. He’s co-host of We Study Billionaires, where he interviews some of the best and brightest investors on planet earth. Trey has lived an interesting life. He was a musician, went on the road for years, started a kombucha brand, and now reads everything he can on how to build billion-dollar businesses and billion-dollar wealth. With the aura of fear many of us are feeling in the investing space, Trey brings in some much-needed clarity on what investors should and shouldn’t be doing right now. And he got some of this advice directly from top stock investor himself, Warren Buffett.

While we do go deep into the coming opportunities for real estate investors, we also hear about how stock investing isn’t so different, and why the massive drop in cryptocurrency prices could be an opportunity for investors who are on the fence about blockchain. Regardless of what you invest in, how much you invest, or whether or not you’ve started investing, Trey can enlighten you on how to maximize the decision you’re about to make.
