Superb interview and great questions as ever from Mary, matched only by the refreshingly honest, reflective and insightful views of the guest. Really sorry that Mary is leaving, she has been such a great host, with an incredible knack for crafting the questions the audience was thinking of. Bravo!
One way to avoid being influenced by a salesman's pitch or someone who purchases an ad on a newsletter with the intent to pump and dump would be to write just the ticker of the company and nothing else on a notepad along with the tickers of other companies you intend to look at later. Then in a month or so, when you're making your way through your backlog of companies to evaluate, you will either not remember what the sales pitch was, or as your memory of it will have faded, it will no longer be a fresh bit of information so it will be less likely to trigger a FOMO emotional wave.
Good luck with the new job, Mary. You're a good interviewer, maybe that was false modesty at the beginning? Guy Spier is an engaging subject for an interview, I enjoyed listening
Great interview, really interesting and thought provoking ideas. Love listening to great investors like Guy, so much value to unpack. Good luck with new job Mary, have enjoyed your interviews, hopefully IC can keep bar as high as you set it.
