The Time Freedom Podcast

Second-level thinking is a form of deep learning that can help you develop an edge. I call this principle “Think Again” and it is foundational to smart investors.

Economists say humans are rational and emotionless investors. Wrong! Humans are highly emotional, and it hurts our portfolios. The good news is that we can train ourselves to become more levelheaded investors by taking 3 specific actions.

We like monthly date nights. You might call them meet-ups. I think the most important point is simply to find someone you care about and get them involved! 

With just 12 dates a year, we have absolutely no reason to miss one. Over the course of an evening, we discuss all aspects of our lives.

Buy & Hold investing is like a ride on a roller coaster. A roller coaster entertains riders with steep climbs and steeper drops. You must put your trust in the ride because you have no control. For long stretches, there is a lot of up and down, but you make no vertical progress. But, riding is easy. You get on the ride and go ...think: set it and forget it.

Fast Follow Investing is more like a mountain trek. Hiking a mountain takes preparation and, sometimes, training. You choose your path, and so control your destiny. While you may need to backtrack, it’s minimal if you plan your route well. When you reach the summit, you’re exhausted but feel great given the achievement.

“Idols” is foundational to how I build wealth and pursue financial independence. It is efficient, yet flexible. And I urge you to try it out. Its 4 pillars:

• Margin of Safety: 25% Warren Buffett, of Berkshire Hathaway fame
• Micro-Business: 25% Sam Walton, from Walmart
• Buy & Hold Investing: 25% John Bogle, founder of Vanguard
• Fast Follow Investing: 25% Ed Thorpe, the math genius who beat Vegas and Wall Street

I created the Fast Follow Investor podcast for me. I do it for someone who is 5 years from finding financial freedom. But, I also do it for my younger self…to share lessons I wish I had known earlier. I also do it for my future self…to help me visualize what I want my life to become.

You may not be a 47-year-old, married, father of one who is a management consultant by day and lover of great biographies by night. Still, I hope you find my ramblings helpful as you pursue your well-intentioned life.
