Invest. Add. Wait - Scott Phillips from the Motley Fool

42 minutes

This episode features Scott Phillips from The Motley Fool. Scott’s an investment guru, a Roosters tragic, and a master at cutting through the noise, whether it’s markets or political clown shows.

We kicked off with three simple words: Invest, add, wait. Honestly, I could’ve ended the episode right there—it’s that powerful. It’s the essence of long-term investing, a mantra that echoes Aesop’s tortoise and hare. Scott’s been at this game long enough to know there’s nothing new under the sun—Ben Graham nailed it in the 1930s, and the rest is just tweaking the recipe.
