DD76~Fiddy & Fyodor, Minimalism, MO, PEP, LMT, O!
Double duty once again recording this to post on the YouTube channel and podcast.... So, no song of the show, but honestly, I'm becoming discontent with it because I can't play the song. It would be much more interesting if I could talk it up and then play it!
We discussed the very important lesson that 50 Cent and Fyodor Dostoevsky teach us about losing their fear of death and realizing how short of a time we have to get things done. Don't wait for greatness, get going right now! Understand that death is coming for all of us, so do not live a life of mediocrity.
We touched on minimalism, gave props to a fellow youtuber, and wrapped it all up with the dividends received and buys of the week.
Tickers mentioned in this episode - (MO, LEG, PEP, LMT, KO, FRT, MGP & O). Full disclosure, I am long all of those!
