556: Investing in Movies?


Listen Later

When it comes to investing, boring is good. In fact, in most cases, boring is exactly what you want. The fewer moving parts an investment has, the fewer ways it can break. You're not relying on perfect timing, you're not depending on some heroic execution, and you're not sitting there hoping everything lines up just right. It just… works. That's why a lot of the stuff I like—cash-flowing real estate, simple structures, things with predictable outcomes—tends to look pretty unexciting on the surface. But over time, that's where wealth is built. But… boring rarely creates outsized wealth. The biggest wins almost always come from things that are the opposite of boring. If you bought Bitcoin ten years ago and held it, that wasn't a conservative decision. That was a bet. A bet on something with massive uncertainty that most people didn't understand. Same thing in Silicon Valley. Most startups fail. Everybody knows it. But the ones that work? They don't just work—they hit so big that they make up for everything else. And then there's this other category of investments. Investments that you make not just because of the potential return—but because they're interesting. Because they give you access. Because they give you experiences. Because, frankly, they're kind of fun. Being able to say you're a Hollywood film investor and you showed up at the premiere… maybe even made a cameo? That's a different kind of return. Is it the safest place to put money? Obviously not. But not everything in your portfolio has to be purely clinical either. Know the risk and decide if it's worth it. That's what this week's Wealth Formula Podcast is about. I sat down with Jeff Deverett, and we kept it pretty simple: film investing is high risk. Most of it doesn't work. But it's also one of those areas where the upside, the structure, and frankly the experience itself can make it worth understanding—if you go in with your eyes open. If nothing else, it'll change the way you think about what you're actually investing in… and why.
