Weekly Mixtape

Morgan Housel: Lifestyles "Last year I had dinner with a financial advisor who has a client that gets angry when hearing about portfolio returns or benchmarks. None of that matters to the client; All he cares about is whether he has enough money to keep traveling with his wife. That’s his sole benchmark."

Dr. Joy Lere: The Summer Of A Thousand Goodbyes "Transitions are not my favorite thing. I've been forced to become agile, but I don't always love it. I find moving hellacious.

Let’s dig in."

Jared Dillian: Ambition "Ambition is a good thing. Sometimes I will recommend someone for a job. Inevitably I tell them: if you want to hire someone who is smart and ambitious, don’t be surprised if they turn out to be smart and ambitious. Ambition is good, but ambitious people can upset an organization."
