Tom, Jacob, and Noah on this episode also talk about Tom’s time in New York, Stan Druckenmiller’s quote about free money, the 16 levels of wealth according to Morgan Housel, the “civil war” in Silicon Valley, the three outcomes in housing, the genius of Bob Iger, and one of the wildest pieces of click bait I have seen.
