Two stories: Many years ago, I was invited on a prominent financial podcast. You have probably heard of it. I was excited to go on—some of the guests were the biggest names in finance, and it was an honor to be asked. Unlike most podcasts I go on, I actually did a little preparation.
Your writing is pretty addictive sr, you don’t find that much people that write the way you do these days: speaking some uncomfortable truths but with a very down to earth line of thought. You write for everyday people. I mean, every single one of your pieces I read leaves me thinking for quite some time, like mini a-ha moments that stick to my brain for a while, and in a way, have improved my own way to see things. I ain’t trying to lick ass or anything here, I couldn’t give a lesser fuck for a dude living on the other side of my world, but I just had to thank you for your newsletter. Your books are pretty good too. I’ll guess one of these days when my twins stop shitting so much I will put all the money that is going to diapers into your finance newsletter to see if I learn how to improve my shitty portfolio the same way I step up my every day life with your every day thoughts. Sorry for extending this lines in my shitty English writing, I guess for this Spanish speaking Argentine 80% ok is more than enough. Gracias
We definitely have a lot of traits in common. I don't think I have ever sent food back, either. I just don't go back. I am not much of a self-promoter, either. It does make things more difficult occasionally in the era of social media.
Good piece Jared. Self-promotion is not a sin, it's just that so many people do it poorly. Either it's done really tacky or half-hearted so that no one believes what you have to say....being real goes a long way.
OMG, I guffawed about never sending food back. Now look here Bozo!-That's Mr. Bozo to you. Groucho. As I often say, I have half a mind to do such and such, followed by I only have half a mind so that's a lot. You rock. PS did you ask if you could have one of the steaks, or did kitchen staff snarf it up? Probably the latter.

It has to be the podcast MVs
The Famous Ferris Rule of Fine Dining: You can order what you want, but you eat what you get.
That has served me well for decades. The few times I violated it; I regretted.
maybe the best column you've written. so true for so many. Me, I'm just a guy trying to get by

Wise words right here. You hit the cover off this 103 fast ball 😂😉. Nice piece with some real true wisdom.
Well done from a fellow Non Self-Promoter!
