CryptoThe Investor's Podcast (TIP) Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Technology companies turn products and services into information networks, and they become trillion-dollar companies in the processBitcoin is an accretive asset, a store of value, and the world’s first engineered monetary network, and everyone is incentivized to plug into itThink of Bitcoin as a globally accessible, decentralized, banking franchiseInflation defined: “The rate of price appreciation in a basket of goods, services, or assets that you desire to acquire in the future” – Michael SaylorCPI is a basket of cherry-picked deflationary goods. In reality, we have hyperinflation in scarce desirable assetsFor instance, Apple stock doubled in 8 weeks, and Bitcoin is up 400%.“When you buy a bitcoin you are buying a scarce piece of property on a global liquid monetary network” – Michael SaylorCompared to other assets, Bitcoin is liquid, global, fungible, portable, the hardest to produce, and has no property tax“The interest rate is the value of time and so when you turn interest rates negative you are trying to stop time and make it flow in reverse” – Michael SaylorBut consider this, bond investors get destroyed if rates rise, and bonds bleed off value if rates don’t keep dropping, till the bubble collapsesCentral bank buying assets is a nice way to say print public money to support things that no rational individual would buy. In the process, nationalization takes over and market mechanisms break down“The Road to Serfdom consists of working exponentially harder in order to earn a currency growing exponentially weaker” – Michael SaylorThe answer: Sweep your cash flows into bitcoin. Even better, the yearly income from bitcoin’s growth will quickly surpass your business revenueIn order to preserve value, companies either leverage up to buy back stock, or they perform risky acquisitionsEven riskier, companies combine these 2 ways, “I borrow money to buy another company”Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, you'll learn:How Michael Saylor defines Inflation, risk premiums and hurdle ratesThe fundamentals of MicrostrategyWhy he's putting Bitcoin on his balance sheetWhy he issued convertible debt to buy more bitcoinHow other companies will likely follow suitBOOKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEMichael Saylor's twitterMichael Saylor's company MicroStrategyMichael Saylor's non-profit free education site: Saylor AcademyMichael Saylor's Bitcoin website: Hope.comGet a FREE book on how to systematically identify and follow market trends with Top Traders Unplugged.

On today's show, Sean talks with Roman Krznaric, the author of The Good Ancestor: A Radical Prescription for Long-term Thinking. We explore the idea of thinking long-term, and we learn about some very long-term projects. Along the way, Roman takes us on a journey. He talks about a Cathedral in Germany that took over 500 years to build, a clock being built in Texas designed to last 10,000 years, a seed vault in the arctic circle designed to preserve seeds for 1,000 years, and others. We learn about the importance of long-term thinking, as well as the battle in our heads between our “marshmallow" and our “acorn” brain. He also talks about how important it is to have a transcendent goal in our lives, how to move beyond the ego-boundary, and why we should all ask, “How will I be remembered when I die?”IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:The importance of long-term thinkingThe tug of war inside our heads between short-term and long-term thinkingHow to manage between our “marshmallow brain” versus our “acorn” brainJeff Bezos, The Long Now Foundation and the 10,000-Year ClockWhy we should take into the account the welfare of future generationsThe importance of asking the question: “How will I be remembered when I die?"The Grandmother effect and how it weaves generations togetherWhy it's important to have a transcendent goal in lifeWhat is Cathedral Thinking and why it's importantBOOKS AND RESOURCESThe Good Ancestor: A Radical Prescription for Long-term Thinking by Roman KrznaricThe Long Now FoundationThe Future LibraryThe Uffington White HorseThe Svalbard Global Seed VaultCapital One.

On today's show, Sean talks with Robert Zaretsky, a professor at University of Houston and the author of A Life Worth Living: Albert Camus & the Quest for Meaning. In 1957 French-Algerian writer, Albert Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was 44 years old, the second youngest person to ever receive the award. Fifteen years earlier, during the height of World War II, Camus stunned the world with the essay, The Myth of Sisyphus, and the novel, The Stranger. Camus explores the idea of finding meaning in life, especially during times of great struggle like war, the plague and personal tragedy.

I brought back Jeff Ton to continue the story of the Corps of Discovery and their incredible journey of exploration in the American West in the early 1800s.Last week, we talked about how the expedition had traveled up Missouri and spent their first winter at Fort Mandan on the Great Plains.

Note that this episode is much more than a history lesson, as we follow the adventures of the expedition, we will periodically pause to reflect on leadership lessons and the decision making of the leaders.Jeff teaches leadership to IT professionals and is a great storyteller. He's an expert on the Lewis & Clark, having personally traveled much of the trail.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:How to build resilience on your teamHow to overcome obstaclesMaking decisions when your team disagrees with youCollaborating and partnering with other organizations to achieve successThe value of keeping a journal and finding time for reflectionThe importance of “proceeding on” when things are toughThe role character and integrity play in leadershipWhy the Journals of Lewis & Clark are such a valuable resource on leadershipBOOKS AND RESOURCESUndaunted Courage by Stephen AmbroseThe Journals of Lewis & Clark edited by Bernard DeVotoLeadership Lessons of Lewis & Clark by Sean P.

On today's episode, we explore one of the most amazing stories in the exploration of the American West. In 1805, Meriwether Lewis & William Clark lead a small military expedition up the Missouri River to discover a water-passage across North American. Along the way they invited a young native woman and mother, Sacagawea, to be their interpreter. Each night they wrote in the journals, accumulating over a million words, describing their encounters and adventures along the way. The expedition successfully explored the Missouri River, crossed over the Rocky Mountains, floated down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, and returned safely.I've invited Jeff Ton, an expert on the expedition, to join me in pulling out the leadership lessons we can learn from the Lewis & Clark Expedition.

On today's episode, we examine one of the critical skills to achieving the good life: decision making. I've invited three experts on decision making, Annie Duke, the author of Thinking in Bets, Jacob Taylor, a value investor and the author of The Rebel Allocator, and Brent Snow, who teaches decision making to executives in corporate America. We have a wide-ranging discussion on decision making, what prevents us from making good decisions, and how we can improve. We cover a topic Annie calls “resulting” and it's related to the idea that the quality of the outcome doesn't tell you everything about the quality of the decision. We talk about wicked versus kind feedback environments. We discuss the role that luck and hidden information play in decision making, and why decision pre-work is better than a decision journal, and so many more topics.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:What prevents us from making good decisionsWhy the quality of the outcome doesn't tell you everything about the quality of the decisionThe role that luck and hidden information play in decision making and decision feedbackThe paradox of experience and learningHow kind and wicked learning environments shape our ability to learn from experienceWhy the “interpreter” part of our brain is important but can lead us astrayHow to avoid consensus overload when making decisions in organizationsWhy decision pre-work is better than a journalBOOKS AND RESOURCESThinking in Bets by Annie DukeThe Rebel Allocator by Jacob TaylorCapital One.

Innovation has been called the greatest long-term competitive advantage – this applies to both organizations and individuals.

On today's show, I talk with James Romm, Professor of Classics at Bard College and the author of the books Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero, and How to Die: An Ancient Guide to the End of Life. Seneca was an influential Stoic philosopher who left us with a number of masterful works on how to live and, interestingly, he also wrote a lot about how to die. You might be asking yourself, for a show about the Good Life, why so much talk of death? Well, as you'll learn from James in this episode, many philosophers through the years, Seneca included, believed that, if we want to get the most out of life, it's important to confront the ultimate end point we all face, and that is death. It can be helpful to start from the end and work backwards to cultivate a life that gets the most out of every day and doesn't leave us with regrets.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why Seneca viewed death as the ultimate testHow Seneca's advice to “die every day” is actually life affirmingHow life can be long if we know how to use itWhy many people believe Seneca was a hypocriteWhy Seneca is still relevant and widely read todayHELP US OUT!Help us reach new listeners by leaving us a rating and review!
