Morgan Housel: The Psychology of Luck - Outside Insights
Permanent Podcast: Real Talk About Private Equity and Buying, Selling, and Operating Small Businesses
The Impact of Slash Losing In
Morgan Haussell's first print run was 5,000 copies. He says he never expected it to sell millions of copies. "I write things about problems that I'm having and I write in a style that I like," the author said. His book has been downloaded more than 2 million times on Amazon.
Morgan Housel (The Psychology of Money) joins Brent Beshore & David Cover to discuss how to build wealth, why people are mad at Morgan, and why most investors are asking the wrong questions – plus, they clear the air on Brent’s online feud with Morgan.
