https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/intellectualinvestor/Storytelling_Audio_Export.mp3 Apple is the best storytelling company on the planet. This was the thought that ran through my mind as I watched Apple present its new products at the WWDC conference. When it introduces a product, Apple doesn’t just spend the time telling you what it will do for you; it directs as much effort to telling a very detailed story about how it made the product. 📩 Sign up for my free weekly email newsletter https://vitaliy.substack.com/ 🎙 Check out my weekly podcast, The Intellectual Investor. https://investor.fm/ 📚 GET MY BOOKS Soul in the Game – https://tinyurl.com/yzh486ep The Little Book of Sideways Markets – https://tinyurl.com/4sdbr5f2 Active Value Investing – https://tinyurl.com/ywfczy8u MY KEY LINKS 🌍 My website/blog – https://investor.fm/ 🔗 Business Website – https://imausa.com/ 🐦 Twitter – https://twitter.com/vitaliyk 📸 Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/vitaliyk/ WHO AM I: Vitaliy Katsenelson was born in Murmansk, Russia, and immigrated to the United States with his family in 1991.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/intellectualinvestor/Life_is_a_Walk_-_Santa_Fe_v2_2023-08-09.mp3 My father and I started taking my son Jonah to Santa Fe in 2003, and this was when I first wrote about it. I have been writing, rewriting, and adding to this essay for the past ten years. I repolished it and included it in Soul in the Game. This time, I decided to leave it untouched. I added new thoughts at the end after our 2023 pilgrimage to this wonderful little town in New Mexico.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/intellectualinvestor/Ep_197_-_Russia__History_Repeats_Itself_v1_2023-07-04.mp3 Over the last two decades, I have given talks on investing, mainly focused on my books, to CFA Societies around the world, from South Africa to New Zealand to Sofia, Bulgaria, and India in January of this year (you can watch that talk here). As a CFA, I love talking to fellow CFAs; we all share a common memory of the pain of three torturous years of preparing for and taking the CFA exam. A few weeks ago I was asked to speak to the CFA Association of Russia about my most recent book. Here is my reply: A year and a half ago, I would have eagerly taken the opportunity to speak to your members, especially since my book Soul in the Game has been translated into Russian. However, today, my heart is breaking as I witness what is happening in Ukraine. To give a presentation to your members without addressing the atrocities occurring there would be similar to giving a presentation in Berlin in 1942 and not mentioning the millions of people being killed by the Nazis in the Soviet Union. Unless I can also discuss the horrors of the war, which I am sure you would not want me to do, I cannot bring myself to speak to your members.  Sign up for my free weekly email newsletter https://vitaliy.substack.com/  Check out my weekly podcast, The Intellectual Investor. https://investor.fm/  GET MY BOOKS Soul in the Game – https://tinyurl.com/yzh486ep The Little Book of Sideways Markets – https://tinyurl.com/4sdbr5f2 Active Value Investing – https://tinyurl.com/ywfczy8u MY KEY LINKS  My website/blog – https://contrarianedge.com/  Business Website – https://imausa.com/  Twitter – https://twitter.com/vitaliyk  Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/vitaliyk/ WHO AM I: Vitaliy Katsenelson was born in Murmansk, Russia, and immigrated to the United States with his family in 1991.
