I write to know what I'm thinking | Life, mistakes, health & big picture investing | ft. John Addis, founder of Intelligent Investor
John Addis is the Founder of IntelligentInvestor, a brilliant writer, thinker and entrepreneur. John Addis's lessons are deep and vast, making this Australian Investors Podcast episode with OwenRask oh-so special. You'll L-O-V-E this episode if you love value investing, how to live an alternative life with meaning and purpose, the pitfalls of founding a company, Warren Buffett, what makes most great investors great writers, daily rituals to live by, and more. John Addis podcast talking points
Aside from enjoying a G&T, what daily, weekly or yearly rituals do you practice and why? If any.
What’s something you believe about investing or business, that few people would agree with you on?
If you could grab a new investor by the shoulders and shake some sense into them, what would you say?
Related: what were the key learnings, failures or successes you experienced and can now reflect on?
Do you think Buffett is as good as everyone thinks? Why, why not?
Why is the learning curve for investing so steep?
Behind the scenes at II, do you now spend more of your time teaching people to invest or to rite gud?
Why is it important to be able to write well?
Which writers do you look to for their quality? What do they do well that others could leverage?
With the rise of AI, is writing a dying form of communication?
Is AI in a bubble? How would we even know? Isn't this just a simulation?!
Will AI make stock pickers redundant?
What have been the most surprising trends, one to the upside and one to the downside, over your investing career?
Which Australian company brings you the most frustration?
What’s been the biggest mistake of your investing career?
What's been the best?
How do you think about the consumption of news and information? How do you curate your home screen or online habits?
What specific strategies or methods have you learned from the II team? Past or present?
The role that optimism plays in human affairs.
Have you read Hans Rosling's Factfulness? If yes, what did you make of it?
What’s the most overrated investing book? Conversely, which one changed your life and why?
How do you think about the passive versus active debate? Who should be stock pickers? Who shouldn't bother?
How do you think about teaching kids about money and investing? Do you do anything that others might not?
