Podcast appearances and mentions of Charlie Munger

Most people think getting rich is about saving harder or finding the next hot stock. It's not. It's about owning things. After 15 years on Wall Street, I learned the hard way that the wealthy don't get there by trading time for money or chasing tickers. They build ownership in boring, cash-flowing businesses that most people overlook. In this episode, I break down the exact investment framework I use today: just three categories I actually care about, why I ignore single stocks and hot tips, and how private business ownership became my unfair advantage. We dive into why Buffett doubled his money at 20% per year while the S&P did half that, why leverage magnifies your mistakes more than your wins, and why volatility isn't risk — not knowing what you're doing is. But this isn't theory. It's applied finance from the trenches. You'll learn:• Why the market is more concentrated and leveraged than almost any point in modern history• How to think like Buffett: buy businesses, not price movements• Why inflation and AI are quietly eating your W2 income while you sleep• The difference between speculation and actual investing (and why most people confuse the two)• How one woman bought six pack-and-ship stores while keeping her tech job• Why Charlie Munger said the best businesses don't require you to be a genius to run them• The three types of risk in every deal: product, market, and execution• How to negotiate by understanding the seller's incentives, not just your own• Why speed and ownership are the only real hedges against what's coming If you're tired of watching your salary get chipped away by inflation, or if you've ever wondered how people actually build wealth without a finance degree or a trust fund, this episode will change how you think about money, ownership, and what it actually takes to win in 2026.

David Clark is joined by Jamie Montgomery, co-founder and managing partner of March Capital, to discuss the forces reshaping venture capital, artificial intelligence, and the U.S. economy. Jamie reflects on building Montgomery & Co, backing category leaders like CrowdStrike, and what it takes to advise founders through scale. He shares why quantum computing, open-source large language models, and advanced AI sit at the centre of his investment outlook, along with lessons from a decade of weekly sessions with Charlie Munger on leadership, values, and long-term thinking. Jamie also offers a grounded view on U.S. growth, government reform, and what global investors should watch as AI drives the next wave of productivity and capital deployment.

In an age obsessed with speed, noise and instant success, this address takes a different route. Drawing on the mental models of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, it strips life back to first principles: how to avoid failure, how to protect the one asset you cannot replace, and why reliability has become the rarest currency of all. Alec Hogg's keynote delivered to the Class of 2025 in the Overberg, is not a motivational speech, but a practical framework for living well in a difficult country and an even more difficult world.

Most people spend their lives chasing happiness yet end up miserable. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick flip the script using inverse thinking to expose 10 decisions that almost guarantee a broken, unhappy life. Inspired by the philosophies of Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett, this episode shows that sometimes the fastest path to wisdom is learning what not to do.You'll hear why making life all about yourself leads to emptiness, how chronic complaining drains momentum, why refusing to take risks kills potential, and how neglecting self-development, health, and belief sabotages your future. Garrett breaks down how belief systems shape outcomes, why confidence and risk are inseparable, and how consuming more than you create slowly erodes purpose and fulfillment.The episode culminates with the two most destructive choices of all: loving yourself more than God, and never developing a deep, lifelong relationship with Him. If you want to avoid regret, live with meaning, and build a life that actually works, this episode gives you a clear warning sign for every major pitfall—and shows you how to walk the opposite path toward purpose, faith, and strength.Join a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

What's the right size for your business? If your gut response is, "As big as possible!" you're not alone.    But that mindset can quietly invite unnecessary complexity, friction, and risk into your operation—especially when growth isn't planned or sustainable.    In this episode, we challenge the default assumption that bigger is always better in construction. Using insights from a legendary 100-year-old essay by biologist JBS Haldane, we explore how biological limits in nature mirror organizational limits in business—and why ignoring them could be hurting your team more than helping it. In this episode you will:    Discover the hidden trade-offs of scaling your construction business too soon Learn how biology explains why your systems are breaking as your team grows Get 3 crucial questions to ask before making your next big hire or opening a new branch   If you're leading a growing team and feeling the strain, press play now to rethink your approach and regain control.   P.S. If you're a Charlie Munger fan/disciple like host Bradley Hartmann, this episode is a prime example of Munger's call to think multidisciplinary— using insights from biology to sharpen leadership and decision-making in construction.   At Bradley Hartmann & Company, we help construction teams improve sales, leadership,  and communication by reducing miscommunication, strengthening teamwork, and bridging language gaps between English and Spanish speakers. To learn more about our product offerings, visit bradleyhartmannandco.com.

I suspect that the CEOs in our audience are likely to agree that crafting a truly effective incentive compensation plan is simultaneously one of the most difficult, and one of the most important, tasks that a small business CEO will face.Charlie Munger is famous for saying “Never, ever think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” He's also said “I think I've been in the top 5% of my age cohort, all my life, in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I've underestimated them.”But why is it so difficult to craft a truly effective incentive plan? Based on many years of experience putting them together myself, here are just a few of the challenges that I faced:Avoiding unintended consequences and people "gaming" the systemHow to balance individual goals vs. company goals vs. departmental goalsHow to incent people on company goals when the achievement of those goals falls largely outside of their controlIf or how to change a comp plan if circumstances change materially within any given yearHow to manage changes in goals & targets across any two given yearsThe balance between simplicity & detailHow to handle inherited employees whose salaries may fall outside of company-wide pay bandsTo help me untangle each of these challenges, this week I'm joined by Stacey Carroll. Stacey has spent substantially her entire career leading HR organizations across a wide array of companies, with a specific focus on compensation & benefits. She has also spent the past 14 years leading HR Experts on Call, a company she founded where she acts as an interim HR leader for small and medium-sized businesses.

How do everyday skills translate into massive success in property investment?

Ever think you don't have systems in every part of your business? Think again. That's the core insight from my recent conversation with O'Brien McMahon on The People Business Podcast. Whether you realize it or not, the way you run your business is a system, it might just be a chaotic one. O'Brien and I dove deep into what systems thinking actually means and why it's the difference between businesses that scale smoothly and those that stay stuck fighting fires. The Truth About Systems Here's what most people miss: you already have systems. The question isn't whether you have them—it's whether they're designed to get you the results you want. As Charlie Munger said, "Show me the incentives, and I'll show you the results." Your systems create your incentives, and your incentives drive your outcomes. If you're not getting the growth you want or you're watching opportunities slip through the cracks, your systems are telling you exactly what's wrong. The creative who says "the universe tells me what to do" still has a system. Maybe they need a walk before designing. Maybe they journal before going on stage. It's all systems supporting what we're trying to accomplish. Start Where You're Leaking O'Brien shared a brilliant framework I want you to steal: don't rebuild everything from scratch. Instead, ask yourself: Where am I leaking right now? Are you leaking sales opportunities? Energy? Attention to detail? Anxiety? Find your biggest leak, fix that one thing, work it until it becomes habit, then move to the next leak. This iterative approach beats the comprehensive overhaul every single time. The Consistency Advantage Leaders who are clear on their vision and how they execute get consistent results. The chaotic ones? Sometimes they win big, sometimes they don't. The difference comes down to consistency. Your systems should connect your leading indicators to your lagging indicators. Why aren't you growing your email list? Why are customers dropping off at checkout? Your systems will tell you if you've designed them to measure what matters. My Systems Origin Story I learned this from my dad, a German electrician who ran his own business. Everything was systematic—how he set up his day, executed his work, and followed through on billing. I saw it all working alongside him. That gift of systematic thinking is why I named the podcast Systematic Leader. The leaders who understand their systems and execute consistently are the ones who transform their businesses from reactive chaos to proactive growth engines. The Annual Systems Check-Up Here's your homework: step back at least once a year and map how all your systems connect. You'll find systems that aren't working as well as they used to, broken processes, and opportunities to double down on what's working. This exercise shows your team you're not here to do the minimum, you're committed to improving every single day. That standard-setting matters more than you think. Start Where It's Uncomfortable O'Brien nailed it at the end of our conversation: "It's probably gonna be most effective in the area you least wanna do it." The thing you're avoiding? That's probably your biggest opportunity. Don't try to jog eight miles on day one. Build a small system that gets you going for five minutes. Make it routine. Watch the results compound. When you see customers coming back more and referring more because of one small systematic change, that's when you realize: this actually works. Your Next Step Pick one area where you're leaking: time, money, opportunities, or energy. Design one small system to plug that leak. Work it for 30 days. That's how you transform from firefighter to growth engine. Want help identifying where your systems are breaking down? Take the 5-minute Customer Experience Assessment at systematicleader.co and let's find those hidden leaks before they become expensive problems. Thanks you O'Brien McMahon

How mathematical rigor, probabilistic thinking, and family priorities shape a young investor's approach to finding overlooked opportunities.The episode is sponsored by TenzingMEMO — the AI-powered market intelligence platform I use daily for smarter company analysis. Code BILLIONS gets you an extended trial + 10% off.https://www.tenzingmemo.com/David Diranko is a 29-year-old German mathematician turned professional value investor who uniquely combines statistical rigor with contrarian small-cap investing, building his investment advisory firm Diranko Capital while sharing research through his newsletter Contrarian Cash Flows.3:00 - David explains his unconventional journey from mathematics to IBM data scientist to full-time value investor, detailing how he worked 40+ hours at IBM while spending another 30 hours weekly on investing before making the leap to launch Duranko Capital.6:00 - Drawing parallels between Ben Graham as "the original data scientist" during the Great Depression, David discusses how mathematical thinking enhances investment analysis through probabilistic frameworks and viewing intrinsic value as a range rather than a single number.10:00 - The decision to share research publicly through Contrarian Cash Flows despite initial hesitation about giving away "edge," leading to deeper thinking, network effects, and unexpected client relationships—though David candidly admits he's still learning to balance transparency with proprietary insights.20:00 - Europe's structural advantages for small-cap investors: fragmented markets across 27 countries, language barriers creating information asymmetries, and limited institutional coverage enabling patient capital to exploit mispricing—with David emphasizing the importance of investing in quality businesses over statistical cheapness.35:00 - AI's transformative impact on investing: from automating routine tasks to potentially replacing 50% of analyst work, while emphasizing that relationship-building, creative thinking, and probabilistic judgment remain distinctly human advantages that AI cannot replicate.50:00 - Balancing entrepreneurship with young family life (two kids under three), David shares his contrarian view that starting families early while building careers creates stronger bonds through shared struggle, rejecting the common narrative of family as a "reward" for career success.1:02:00 - Closing wisdom on finding meaning beyond financial returns, referencing Charlie Munger's caution that a life purely about buying securities wouldn't be enough—investing must serve a deeper purpose than accumulation.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

In this New Year's solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan kicks off 2026 with a high-energy blueprint for business coaches determined to make this their best year yet. Karl offers sharp insights on building unstoppable momentum, creating impactful routines, mastering the power of execution over ideas, and developing unshakable resilience, along with a deep dive on AI, stock market bubbles, and actionable strategies to future-proof your coaching business. Key Topics Covered New Year, New Execution (Not New Year, New You) Karl dismantles the myth that a successful year just "happens," emphasizing the need for daily discipline and consistency. He shares why meaningful change is a product of relentless execution, not inspiration or wishful thinking. Maximizing Impact and Reach Expanding your influence means helping hundreds of people, not just your client list. Karl challenges coaches to launch podcasts, webinars, and value-packed emails, but stresses starting immediately, rather than waiting for the perfect plan. From Studying to Training Karl distinguishes between passively consuming knowledge (studying) and active skill-building (training), arguing that mastery comes from thousands of purposeful reps, not just time spent learning. Resilience, Mindset & Not Getting Offended He suggests that letting go of being easily offended is a powerful way to regain control, both in personal and business interactions, fostering stronger confidence and leadership. Goal Setting Versus Desire Management Karl breaks down why our goals and actual desires often conflict, providing concrete examples, then showing how new goals demand reshaped desires and crystal-clear "whys." Elite Leadership & Creating Space for Success The best leaders subtract drama, friction, and obstacles to create a fertile ground for others' success. Karl likens this to both sports coaching and business, advocating for an environment that evolves followers into leaders. The Dangers of Satisfaction: Staying Hungry Karl details the "crocodile after a meal" syndrome, how complacency kills momentum, and highlights stories of world-class athletes who maintain edge and discipline even after major wins. Planning & Execution: The Eisenhower and Munger Lessons He revisits classic advice: "The magic is not in the plan, but in the planning," borrowing from both Eisenhower and Charlie Munger's inversion principle to stress learning from failure as much as from chasing success. AI, Stock Markets, and Contrarian Thinking Answering questions about AI stock bubbles, Karl draws parallels with sports betting spreads and offers lessons from expert traders: when everyone thinks the same, the edge is lost. He advocates humility, diversification, dollar-cost averaging, and the importance of relevant financial literacy for coaches and their clients. Notable Quotes "New Year, New You is not a thing. Expecting next year to change without effort is like going to the marina and looking for an airplane to land." "I don't care about your ideas; I care about your execution. Your consistency and your discipline are mission-critical." "Stop getting offended. The good news? You'll stop being controlled." "Great leaders don't create followers, they create other leaders." "You can get lucky and make it. You can't get lucky and keep it." "The magic is not in the plan. The magic is in the planning." "I want to know where I'm going to die, so I'll never go there." (Charlie Munger) Actionable Takeaways • Start Now: Don't wait for the perfect moment or plan, your first email, podcast, or event is the hardest. Get it out, then iterate. • Measure Reps, Not Time: True mastery comes from consistent, purposeful practice (training), not just learning or clocking hours. • Get Out and Connect: Calendarize face-to-face time and community-building; loneliness erodes long-term success and well-being. • Shift from Busywork to Impact: Educate your list, serve generously in your free content, and only sell after delivering real value. • Build Resilience: Remind yourself that negative feedback or setbacks aren't personal, focus on execution and staying "hungry." • Set Monster Goals, Then Cut Ruthlessly: Aim high, then eliminate 80% of distractions and low-value activities to focus on what really moves the needle. • Use Inversion for Insight: When setting goals (or helping clients set them), ask: "How do I guarantee failure?" Then avoid those pitfalls. • Be Financially Literate for Clients: Understand core investing concepts (diversification, market math, dollar-cost averaging) so you can intelligently field client questions about wealth-building.

El hombre que perdió 400.000 millones de dólares en una semana y los recuperó en 48 horas En septiembre de 2008, un ejecutivo de Lehman Brothers salió de su oficina en el número 745 de la Séptima Avenida de Nueva York por última vez. Llevaba una caja de cartón con sus pertenencias. Una foto familiar, una taza con el logo de la empresa, un diploma enmarcado de Wharton. Detrás de él, un banco de 158 años de historia se desvanecía en la nada. Lo que ese ejecutivo no sabía —lo que nadie podía saber entonces— es que diecisiete años después, en diciembre de 2025, otro gigante tecnológico perdería exactamente la misma cantidad de capitalización bursátil. Cuatrocientos mil millones de dólares evaporados en cuestión de días. La diferencia es que esta vez la historia no termina con una caja de cartón. Termina con TikTok. Hay una vieja máxima en Wall Street que dice que los mercados pueden permanecer irracionales más tiempo del que tú puedes permanecer solvente. Es una frase que se atribuye a Keynes, aunque probablemente la dijo otro, porque en finanzas las mejores citas siempre se atribuyen a quien no las pronunció. Pero hay otra verdad menos citada y más incómoda: los mercados también pueden cambiar de opinión más rápido de lo que tú puedes cambiar de posición. Y cuando lo hacen, no avisan. No mandan un correo electrónico. No publican un comunicado de prensa. Simplemente ocurre. Esta semana hemos sido testigos de algo que desafía toda lógica aparente. Una empresa que parecía destinada a protagonizar el próximo caso de estudio sobre hybris corporativa se convirtió, en menos de dos días, en la historia de redención del trimestre. Un fabricante de chips de memoria —posiblemente el negocio menos glamuroso de toda la cadena tecnológica— publicó unos resultados que Morgan Stanley calificó como los segundos más impresionantes en la historia de los semiconductores estadounidenses. Y una compañía de coches eléctricos alcanzó máximos históricos el mismo día que un juez dictaminó que su marketing era fraudulento. Si intentaras escribir esto como ficción, tu editor te lo devolvería por inverosímil. Pero quizás lo más fascinante de esta semana no fueron los titulares que todos vieron, sino las conexiones que casi nadie percibió. Porque resulta que hay un hilo invisible que conecta a un fabricante de aspiradoras robóticas que se declaró en bancarrota, con constructores de viviendas que están bajando precios desesperadamente, con una marca deportiva que lleva un año tropezando con la misma piedra. Ese hilo tiene un nombre, aunque todavía no lo hemos pronunciado. Y cuando lo entiendas —cuando veas cómo todas estas piezas aparentemente inconexas encajan en un patrón coherente—, probablemente cambies tu forma de pensar sobre lo que está ocurriendo realmente en los mercados. Charlie Munger solía decir que el mundo no está dividido en personas inteligentes y personas estúpidas. Está dividido en personas que entienden los incentivos y personas que no. Esta semana, los incentivos hablaron muy alto. Tan alto que algunos los escucharon y otros los confundieron con ruido de fondo. La pregunta es: ¿en qué grupo estás tú? Todo esto y mucho más en el nuevo episodio de Actualidad Semanal +D.

I just had dinner with four really successful business owners—all running businesses bigger than mine—and we got talking about sales compensation plans. Once I started sharing things I honestly take for granted after 20 years in sales leadership, they were like "we hadn't thought about that." These are very smart, very successful guys, just not from the sales world. So if they found it helpful, maybe you will too. Here's the foundation: the only purpose of your comp plan is to change behavior. Charlie Munger said it perfectly: "Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome." This episode breaks down three critical comp plan mistakes I see constantly: (1) Long-term commissions that look generous to you but don't change behavior next week because salespeople don't think like business owners—they think in cash, not equity or 36-month payouts, (2) Perpetual residuals that create permanent misalignment as your costs go up while their incentive to do the hard work (hunting) goes down, and (3) Having hunters farm instead of separating the roles, which misallocates both money and results. Learn why you need to reward behavior closest to when it happens, why saying "I'll fix it later" is fucked up, and how to align effort, difficulty, and value with what you're actually paying for.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

"Lollapalooza effects can make you rich or they can kill you." - Charles T. MungerReal estate professional, businessman, co-owner of R.K. Reiman, and host of "The Real Build" podcast Bill Reiman is joining us on the show once again and we've got a good one in store for you today because we are jamming to some lollapalooza.  No, we don't mean the Chicago-based music festival.  We're talking about the Charlie Munger coined term "lollapalooza effect" which means a situation where multiple psychological biases, tendencies, or forces act together in the same direction, creating an extreme, amplified outcome that is far greater than the sum of its parts.  Bill and Jay are talking about the ability to make good connections between, how equally important it is to know when not to connect certain people, the benefits of a group of like-minded individuals coming together for the common good, and what it is that makes Naples, Florida such a wonderful, unique, and opportunity-filled place.  This episode is dedicated to bringing people together and we hope you're inspired to participate and appreciate those who are together with you after this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.

Jim and Abigail Zimmerman are a father-daughter investment team at Lowell Capital Management, combining Jim's two decades of disciplined value investing since founding the firm in 2003 with Abby's research-focused approach to identifying small-cap companies with fortress balance sheets and strong free cash flow generation.The episode is sponsored by TenzingMEMO — the AI-powered market intelligence platform I use daily for smarter company analysis. Code BILLIONS gets you an extended trial + 10% off https://www.tenzingmemo.com/3:00 - Abby shares her first stock purchase of American Eagle in middle school, using it as a gateway to understanding that investing isn't abstract but about owning real businesses and thinking like an owner.5:21 - The Zimmermans explain their core philosophy: “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” emphasizing that fewer things need to go right in an investment, citing Peter Lynch's principle that if you can't explain what a company does to an 11-year-old in a sentence or two, you probably shouldn't own it.8:34 - Jim discusses their strategy of buying growth companies at value prices, explaining their best investments are companies trading at 5-6x EBITDA with no debt that possess sustainable moats allowing intrinsic value to compound over time.12:00 - Discussion of the Sprouts Farmers Market case study, demonstrating how they identify turnaround situations where strong unit economics exist but the market hasn't recognized the potential yet.28:00 - Abby explains their disciplined selling process, particularly the importance of position sizing and their “20% trim rule” when stocks appreciate significantly to maintain portfolio balance.35:00 - The team reveals their contrarian approach during market dislocations, specifically discussing how they deployed capital during the COVID crash by focusing on companies with fortress balance sheets.42:00 - Jim shares wisdom from his father Lowell: live beneath your means, invest the excess, and build things over time - the Charlie Munger approach that shaped their entire investment philosophy.51:00 - Discussion of free cash flow as the ultimate metric, with both emphasizing that businesses generating cash can survive any environment and capitalize on opportunities when competitors stumble.57:05 - Abby defines success as alignment - living in a way that reflects what matters most, building something meaningful with family, and treating others well while maintaining disciplined investing even when unpopular.1:00:24 - Bogumil adds perspective on wealth preservation across generations, noting the US uniquely allows both creation and multi-generational preservation of wealth.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

A raíz de esa depuración, aparecen o se identifican las inversiones que realmente valen la pena. Dale play y conoce más.

Key Topics Covered Drip Campaigns & Funnels that Convert Karl Bryan breaks down the anatomy of effective drip campaigns—using not just email, but texts, voicemails, calls, and even direct mail—to stay top of mind and drive prospects towards action. He emphasizes nurturing, education, and persistence over hard selling, revealing real-world examples of campaigns that generated over a million dollars in revenue. Building High-End Programs and Upsell Funnels Karl encourages coaches to help clients create tightly defined, high-ticket programs ($10k, $25k, $50k+) with robust profit margins. He explains the importance of segmenting audiences and tailoring drip sequences, stressing that coaches should study successful operators in competitive markets to shortcut their own learning. The Psychology of Offers Discussion includes using urgency, scarcity, guarantees, bonuses, and exclusivity to motivate buyers—drawing on real-world tactics from luxury brands and industry leaders. Investing Wisdom from Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger Karl unpacks Buffett's two rules—don't lose money; see Rule #1—and shares how the path to true wealth is rooted in patience, clear math, and avoiding movement for movement's sake. He links these principles to business coaching, stressing the power of compounding marginal gains in practice, career, and investment. Actionable Wealth Creation Strategies Explores practical frameworks for investing in business, stocks (S&P index), and real estate, emphasizing dollar cost averaging, critical thinking, and learning from bubbles/past mistakes. Notable Quotes "Performance improves by releasing tension, judgment, and overthinking—not by piling it on." "Educated people buy more. Educate your leads through that sequence of emails, texts, calls, voicemails, etc. It's not buy, buy, it's educate, educate, educate." "Persistence is a measure of your self-esteem. Do you persist? Do you feel like you deserve the business?" "Rule #1: Don't lose money. Rule #2: See Rule #1. Avoiding stupidity automatically places you in the top 1% because the rest of the crowd is too busy chasing brilliance." "Real wealth is built the old boring way, staying the course, math as the foundation." Actionable Takeaways Expand Your Drip Campaigns Beyond Email: Utilize a sequence of texts, voicemails, calls, and direct mail in addition to emails to maximize client engagement. Educate Relentlessly: Focus on teaching and adding value through every touchpoint. Selling comes after trust and knowledge are built. Create Tightly Defined High-End Offers: Help clients establish premium programs with clear outcomes and strong margins; research top players in competitive markets for proven frameworks. Test, Measure, and Refine: Track the performance of campaigns and offers, adjust based on data rather than gut feelings, and always aim for compounding marginal improvements. Motivate Action With Urgency & Scarcity: Build "windows of opportunity," enrollment periods, and limited-time bonuses to prompt decisions. Lead with Guarantees and Exclusivity: Structure guarantees (money-back, buyback, long-term, double-your-money-back) and consider exclusive tiers or bonuses to differentiate. Avoid Movement for Movement's Sake: Apply Buffett and Munger's principles: patience, compounding, and critical thinking beats frequent switching and chasing trends. Invest with Dollar Cost Averaging: For wealth outside business, consistently invest fixed amounts into the S&P index or bitcoin, regardless of market cycles, and avoid leverage. Segment Your Audience: Tailor messaging and offers based on client behaviors and demographics for better results. Prioritize Compounding Improvements: Focus on small gains across multiple areas—these add up exponentially in your business and wealth over time.

This week on The Art of SBA Lending, we sit down with Live Oak Bank CEO and founder, Chip Mahan, to discuss the revolutionary ideas that transformed the SBA landscape. Chip Mahan, who started the bank in 2008, disrupted the existing SBA playbook by focusing on nationwide industry vertical lending. Chip details the bank's founding during the 2008 financial crisis , when he was told by the FDIC to liquidate the bank. He reveals the unique philosophy that led to the bank becoming a top SBA lender, including: rejecting the traditional commission-based compensation model to properly align interests , developing a "theory of verticality" by targeting specialized industries like veterinarians and chicken farmers , and using data from the Freedom of Information Act to determine which industries pay back their loans. He argues that a floating rate 7(a) loan is the "best asset that anybody can put on any bank's books." The episode also covers the bank's commitment to technology, the importance of perfecting the "handoff" between the lender, underwriter, closer, and servicer , and the future of banking in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Chip explains how AI will dramatically affect determining SBA loan eligibility and create an "automatic credit memo".
