Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's 2023 Berkshire Hathaway Meeting I got up and stood on a platform — a microphone in front of me, a beam of bright light in my face. Warren Buffett just called me to ask a question in front of tens of thousands of people around me and millions watching worldwide. I was in the middle of Berkshire Hathaway's Annual Meeting – the Woodstock for Capitalists held in Omaha, Nebraska, each year. It was my turn to speak; I said: “Thank you for making our lives better.” My words echoed back, confusing me for a moment; I proceeded with the question, nonetheless! Before I share with you what followed, I must thank everyone who asked me if I'm going to Omaha this year. There were many of you, many more than usual: Guy Spier, William Green, Adam Mead, Gautam Baid, Phil Ordway, Christopher Tsai, Robert Karas, Saurabh Madaan, Jeff Henriksen, Ninad Shinde, Jake Taylor, Gillian Zoe Segal, Eugene Ng, Tyler Howell, John Mihaljevic, Alex Wetterling, Tilman Versch, and many others. Special credit goes to Lauren Templeton, though, who, in our podcast conversation, finally convinced me to pack up and head over on this very special pilgrimage, my first in a long time. Thank you, Lauren! Read here or listen to the episode. ---- ⁠⁠⁠⁠Crisis Investing: 100 Essays⁠⁠⁠⁠ - My new book

Gillian Zoe Segal is the author of “Getting There: A Book of Mentors” and “New York Characters.” She received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan and a law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.  We talk about her book Getting There, and we explore the stories of many successful people. We discuss some of the themes and lessons from their experience: 1)     We start with Gillian's own childhood and upbringing 2)      Gillian shares how none of the characters featured in her book had a smooth and steady ride to the top 3)      She shares a story of young Warren Buffett's fear of public speaking and how he managed to overcome it 4)      We learn how the mentors in Gillian's book had blind faith in future success despite countless rejections. 5)      We hear about the importance of treating everyone with respect. 6)      Gillian shares a lesson from Sara Blakley, the billionaire founder of Spanx how it helps to protect and nurture new ideas. 7)      We talk about how great schools and degrees are not an indispensable ingredient to success and how getting fired might have helped many of the heroes in the book succeed. 8)      We discuss the dead-ends, plateaus, and even rock bottoms in the lives of the many accomplished people that Gillian features in the book. 9)      Stay tuned until the end if you are curious to know what a big wave surfer can teach us about goals and more. I had a lovely time chatting with Gillian and learning more about many people we all admire. Her book introduces them from a whole new perspective. I think there might be a lesson there or two for all of us. I certainly found some valuable takeaways for myself. ---- To get regular updates and bonus content, please sign-up for my substack: ⁠https://bogumilbaranowski.substack.com/⁠ Follow me on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/bogumil_nyc⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Talking Billions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bogumil Baranowski⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sicart Associates, LLC⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Did you ever wonder if anything ever spooked Warren Buffett? Or how Jeff Koons got started? In the spirit of Tim Ferriss’ books, Tribe of Mentors and Tools of Titans, Gillian Zoe Segal spent five years meeting, interviewing and photographing 30 diversely successful billionaires (Buffett, Sara Blakely, Michael Bloomberg), artists (Jeff Koons, Marina Abramović), creatives (Frank Gehry, Hans Zimmer, Matthew Weiner), authors (Anderson Cooper, Graydon Carter, Jeff Kinney), athletes (Laird Hamilton, Jillian Michaels), and of course a Harvard Dean and Nobel Laureate along with various and sundry inventors, leaders, and pioneers. The result is a wonderful book of inspirational backstories and actionable approaches, aptly titled Getting There: A Book of Mentors. Gillian Zoe Segal is an entrepreneur, CNBC contributor, photographer and author of not only Getting There: A Book of Mentors but also New York Characters. She was also one of LinkedIn’s top voices and is a professional speaker having spoken at Google, Royal Bank of Canada, Lexis-Nexis, and numerous other venues across North America. Gillian received a BA from the University of Michigan and a law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University. I first came across Gillian in Omaha at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting where she was doing a book signing. In this episode we learn how growing up in New York City shaped her and her writing, particularly her first book New York Characters. Getting There is a literal who’s who of interviewees, but New York Characters, while having many celebrities and notables, it is much more eclectic. We talk about the how she came up with that idea, along with a budding genre, like Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York. She tells us how she transitioned from law school graduate to photographer and author, along with the backstory to getting her first book published and how she got George Plimpton to not only be in it, but also write the Foreword. Speaking to her humanity, her author proceeds from the sale of New York Characters went to the families of the victims of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. We do deep dives into both of her books and learn how she went about reaching those profiled, how she convinced them to be in, who was the hardest to get on board and who was the easiest. It’s interesting to learn that many of those profiled had failures and some pretty difficult beginnings. She also uncovered commonalities among these amazingly successful people and discusses them, along with a few surprises. We even learn how she composed her shots.  Gillian had the benefit of doing a deep question and answer session with 30 of some of the most successful people in the world, and we find out how she changed as a result.  Gillian, like those she’s interviewed, lives a life in full. She is gracious enough to have put her findings and experiences into words and pictures so we can as well.

Gillian Zoe Segal is an author of two books, New York Characters and Getting There: A Book of Mentors. She finished her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Michigan and Law degree at Benjamin Cardozo School of Law. She currently lives in Manhattan, New York with her daughter and dog. Gillian is also a passionate photographer.  In this episode, we will learn more about Gillian and her journey – from attending Law school to working in their family business and pursuing her burning passion for photography. She will also unveil insightful experiences interviewing 30 successful people like Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg, Sara Blakely, Anderson Cooper and others in her second book, Getting There: A Book of Mentors.  Learn more about your ad choices.

She is also an amazing photographer and she took all the photos in the book. Getting There is a compilation of essays written by a number of luminaries. And one of them is Warren Buffett. They also discuss when you can tell the difference between persevering through hard times and when it’s time to know when you should pivot and change directions. In Gillian’s book, Warren Buffett talks about how important it is to know your strengths and weaknesses. Knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to focus on.

January 12, 2016 Foodstamps to IPO Lisa Nichols & Getting There Mentors Gillian Zoe Segal

Gillian Zoe Segal faced many closed doors as she was collecting the interviews she needed for her most recent book, “Getting There.” Instead of giving up, she looked for a window to climb though--all while being persistent, yet polite.  Gillian’s example teaches us that when courage fails us, we can gain strength from those who inspire us by remembering that every success story involves a struggle of some kind. Gillian conducted interviews with some of the biggest names in business, music, and fashion with the specific purpose of demystifying the illusion that successful people have had everything handed to them on a silver platter. In fact, Gillian found that in most cases, the very opposite proved to be true. She consolidated these stories and pearls of wisdom into a book of mentors to pass on to others -- most notably, her own daughter. Although she never had a mentor herself, Gillian forged a path where there was no trail so that those who read her book would feel less alone on their own path towards their dreams.

Did I just state that Gillian Zoe Segal's Book, Getting There, changed my life?  Well, it changed my business, which in turn changed my life.  Here book is an amazing series of interviews with people like Warren Buffett, Kathy Ireland, Ian Schrager, Anderson Cooper, John Paul DeJoria, and far too many more to list here.  Every person she interviewed is EXTREMELY successful.  Every person she interviewed was also faced with moments that would derail most people.  Moments of failure and moments of major self-doubt...  The book is called Getting There, but the sub-title "A Book of Mentors" defines everything about this project.   Every entrepreneur and business owner I've ever known has faced moments that could be defined as make or break.  Often, even if they don't find themselves broken, the result is a major shift in direction to avoid beating their head against a wall.  Or some diversion to avoid risk, opting for the safer route.  That's where so many great ideas die, right on the vine.  Ripe for the picking for those who are truly convicted to their mission.  Alas, that describes so few people.  That is why the elite list of people she interviewed are uber successful. They didn't turn away when they faced their challenges.  The fought through and learned that their fears and self-doubts were warranted, but they were not what defined them or their business.  That message is something that has helped me stay the course, when I might have otherwise walked away.  It isn't a message of "they did it, so I can too", but rather it's a testament to the fact that entrepreneurship is risky and to get the reward, you must face that risk head-on, not blindly, but educated and armed with the knowledge that it is part of the game we play daily.  Know your outcome first, then leverage what you can and need to in order to reach that destination.  I stated that this book changed my business and my life, so I hope you find the same amazing gifts within Gillian's message.

Kate Swoboda, or Kate Courageous, is a one of a kind coach, mentor, and the creator of the Courageous Coaching Training Program. She has also created the Coaching Blueprint, and a program for individuals, Your Courageous Life. I recently graduated from CCTP (Courageous Coaching Training Program), and found my time in the program to be inspiring, intense, and life changing. It was a little over a year ago that I first got on a call with Kate to chat about joining CCTP. Getting on that call, I was scared to death I would not make the cut. Truth be told, over the last year in the program, I've wrestled a good deal with those feelings that I'm either not good enough, or don't deserve the good things that come my way. But this was different, Kate wanted to truly understand who I "be," and how I wanted to connect with others. I knew from that first call that the program was a fit, and that Kate was different, in the very best of ways, that she saw potential in people, that she was all heart, and that she was as courageous as her name suggests. In other words, CCTP was the real deal and it was the right program for me. Now a year later, I was super happy that Kate agreed to jump on a call for an interview. Again I was nervous, but this time, it was because I was in the driver's seat. Not that a client can't interview their coach (heck, I interviewed my former coach, and now buddy, Michelle just a couple of episodes ag). But I had heartfelt questions about the program I'd just graduated from, I wanted Kate to know I respected her and all that she's done. And, OK, I kind of nerded out and loved that I GOT to talk about Pema Chodron with the very person who'd introduced her to me. Mostly, though, I wanted her to feel at home on my podcast. I think you'll like this interview; Kate is a powerhouse and I am honored to have her on the show. In this episode we talk about: - what to do when "things fall apart" in your life; and how to deal with the emotions that come up - what to do if you've been working on personal development for a while, but it doesn't seem to stick - how to approach being an entrepreneur - that you "take yourself with you" wherever you go, including your corporate job, or to your own business - how she approached creating the Courageous Coaching Training Program - Kate's definitions of fear and courage - what keeps her going, and what she loves about being an entrepreneur - what it's like to be a "new-ish" mother Resources for this show: Kate's website: Your Courageous Life Coaching Blueprint: Marketing course for coaches Courageous Coaching Training Program (tell Kate that Paula sent you) Dream Into Action Retreat - running 11/13-15 - sign up for the "Love Notes" to get information on how to win a free spot!

Gillian Zoe Segal joins James and Claudia today to talk about how you can get any mentor in the world. She interviewed "everyone" for her new book Getting There: A Book of Mentors. People like Warren Buffett, Sarah Blakely, Michael Bloomberg, Kathy Ireland and so many more. James tells Gillian that many of these people have said no to coming on to The James Altucher Show and asks how she did it. Gillian says a friend told her, "Don't take a no from somebody who can't give you a yes." That's what made the difference. If you get a no from the front door then try the back door, the side door or the window. Gillian says she finished this book because she had a need for the material. It was her passion. Listen as James and Claudia have great conversation with Gillian.   Regards, David Newman P.S. James says there are seven huge trends that will shape America.
