Live Questions:
1:14:05 When it comes to scaling a business private equity purchases, does the ability to scale come from the p/e firms know how about establishing processes and documentation?
1:15:58 Esops are a huge risk though because usually you’re paid out over time when you’re no longer in control.
1:17:58 Long time listener and just had my first person ever recognize your and peokoff’s books on my shelf.
1:18:14 I love the finance topics. Wish I could have listened live to ask questions. Here’s a token for the value I’ll get listening asynchronously.
1:20:06 I love when you go in depth on Finance, there's a lot of bad information out there and nobody can properly defend it like you can, Thanks! I'd also love to hear your thoughts on Oppenheimer.
1:20:30 I'm reading Road to Serfdom and am surprised by the strength of the moral arguments for capitalism. What do you think are the most significant differences between Hayek's and Rand's ideas on the morality of capitalism?
1:22:46 Do you think people who only buy real estate and have nothing in the stock market are foolish?
1:23:59 Who are your guests for the next few weeks?
1:25:39 Have you considered doing a review of the new podcasts like fresh and fit which have a steadily growing following? They have become extremely popular and advocate I’ll advised ideas for life for young men. I think it would get some traction.
1:27:09 This has probably been asked before but what is the name of the sculpture in the background?
1:28:42 Recently had a debate with a self described communist. Do you think it’s better to argue the morality or efficacy of capitalism?
1:31:15 How would A Hero from Ayn Rands Book, conduct himself as a tech entrepreneur in today’s time. For example how would he speak to congress, how would you deal with investors, and employees?
1:33:30 I don’t think it’s essentially because you’re radical that you’re not more popular. It’s also that you teach real topics. Is that what interests the masses? They really only gravitate to tribal warfare. What do you think?
1:41:22 Your oldest video is 6 years old on YT. Have you done a show before YT? I know you did many talks in the past. What inspired you to begin a YT channel?
1:42:54 In some weird way, I selfishly want your audience small. You’re are my favorite educator, podcaster. If you got too big, it would feel farther away. Like a local band that got too big. I do want your show to be huge and succe
1:43:33 I’m 150 episodes away of from listening to all of the podcast episodes. I’m in June 2020 right now haha, three months after I got into Oism. Cheers!
1:46:10 How is doing the radio style format different to the YouTube format?
1:46:12 Have you seen Oppenheimer?
1:46:32 when I was in college in a small college town I had a part time tech internship. the company got bought out and I lost my job. But the stock I held went up 6x and ended up paying for my tuition!
