On today's show, I talk with Jacob Taylor, the CEO of Farnman Street Investments and the author of the novel, The Rebel Allocator. The book follows a young man who is mentored by a legendary business leader and a master of capital allocation. Charlie Munger liked the novel so much he called up the author to discuss it and encouraged him to make it into a movie. So what was Munger so excited about? The book is full of wisdom related to business, investing and living a good life. Jacob Taylor joins me to talk about his conversation with Munger and the life lessons that run through his novel, The Rebel Allocator.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

How to bounce back from life’s set-backs
The importance of self-reliance and having an inner-scorecard
The importance of capital allocation in business and life
How to get better at capital allocation
The importance of finding the right partner in marriage and life
The downside of focusing one’s life entirely on business and investing
