One top athlete who had a great second career is Roger Staubach. While still with the Cowboys, he started working in commercial real estate during the off-seasons and launched his own firm two years before he retired from football. Built it up over 3+ decades and sold it about ten years ago for $600 million. He's still chairman of the board I believe.

Appreciate all of your writing - financial and otherwise! Maybe your core competency isn’t exactly finance per se but rather people/human nature?

It's the Pat Sajak rule, as you always say. :)

This is the second time I’ve been inspired by your writing to ask an important question. I subscribe to two (or is it three lol) of your financial newsletters. I guide the investment of my all-together too small grub stake by them. Yet, you clearly prefer to write fiction. Is your attention on financial writing suffering accordingly? I don’t think you would rely on someone to give advice whose heart or attention are not in it. Are yours still? Wayne

Agree ! Don’t cut down the $$ producing tree for a hobby. Just do both.
