Building Alpine Investors and Living an Asymmetric Life

Graham Weaver, the founder of Alpine investors, shares the story of building the private equity firm and emphasizes the importance of living an asymmetric life. Despite starting with limited resources, Weaver's determination and strategic approach helped him grow Alpine into a successful firm with $16 billion in assets. He credits his habit of setting clear goals and writing them down daily as a key factor in achieving his aspirations. Weaver also highlights the significance of being intentional about one's life and setting small, measurable commitments to make progress. He encourages individuals to focus on the present moment and find joy in each phase rather than constantly striving for the next milestone.
