Vestiva di nero, contava ogni centesimo e dormiva accanto ai suoi documenti finanziari, custoditi come reliquie. I giornali la chiamavano la strega di Wall Street, ma dietro a quel soprannome c'era molto di più: un'intelligenza feroce, un'avidità senza tregua e una vita spesa all'ombra del denaro. Hetty Green non uccideva, ma terrorizzava: i banchieri, gli speculatori, perfino la propria famiglia.Buon ascolto di questo episodio un po' diverso dal solito, registrato (maluccio) in viaggio...

The EU has fined U.S. tech companies more than $30 billion over 10–20 years* The U.S. government has the power to pressure other countries to protect American industries but has done the opposite for techThe dilemma of setting classifier thresholds:* If a classifier is set to 99% confidence, it might miss 80% of harmful content, whereas setting it to 90% confidence might catch more, but still mistakenly flag 10% of innocent content* When dealing with billions of posts from billions of users, setting classifiers with too low precision leads to millions of innocent posts being wrongly taken downThe tension between allowing anonymous accounts and the potential for abuse: “I think there's nothing wrong with that… you should be able to be anonymous… but if you're going to allow anonymous accounts, you're going to open up the door to bad actors having enormous blocks of accounts where they can use either AI or just programs.” – Joe​PREMIUM:* ​Peter Thiel | Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin​* ​Marc Andreessen: It's Morning Again In America | Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson​​* ​Tim Cook: What It Takes to Run Apple, the World's Largest Company | Dua Lipa: At Your Service​FREE:* ​Control Pain & Heal Faster With Your Brain | Huberman Lab Essentials​​* ​Dr. Becky Kennedy: Overcoming Guilt & Building Tenacity in Kids & Adults | Huberman Lab​​* ​Hetty Green – The Single Biggest Individual Financier In The World & The Richest Woman In America | Founders Podcast with David Senra #375​​* ​Mark Zuckerberg: The Dark Side of Social Media, Censorship, and AI in 2025 | Joe Rogan Experience (#2255) Thank you for subscribing.

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans @8792 Magoo's Global Awakening: A Christmas Carol for the 21st Century A modern reimagining of A Christmas Carol, exploring themes of lost potential, regained empathy, and the power of interconnectedness. "Greetings, fellow seekers of truth and well-being! Welcome to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour. Today, we're diving deep into the timeless wisdom of A Christmas Carol, but with a 21st-century twist. We'll explore how the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come can guide us towards a more meaningful and interconnected existence. Buckle up, as we journey through the realms of innovation, empathy, and the power of the human spirit." Segment 1: The Ghost of Ubuntu (Nelson Mandela) "Suddenly, Scrooge found himself standing in a bustling marketplace in Mumbai, India. The air was thick with the scent of spices and the sounds of lively chatter. The Ghost, a serene figure with a warm smile, introduced himself as Nelson Mandela." Integrate Heart-Brain Coherence: "Now, shift your focus to the vibrant Mumbai marketplace. Feel the warmth, the energy of the community. Allow yourself to connect with the spirit of Ubuntu – the profound sense of interconnectedness and shared humanity." Memory Palace Technique: "Linking Nelson Mandela's image to the Mumbai hub within our Memory Palace, strengthening the associations." Mnemonic Technique: "Assign the number 1 to this segment – the present-day impact of empathy and the power of interconnectedness." Segment 2: The Ghost of Innovation (Ada Lovelace) "Scrooge, bewildered, found himself standing amidst the whirring machines and buzzing energy of a Silicon Valley startup in 1998. The Ghost, a young, vibrant woman with a mischievous glint in her eyes, introduced herself as Ada Lovelace, the visionary mathematician who foresaw the potential of the Analytical Engine." Integrate Heart-Brain Coherence: "Imagine yourself in that vibrant startup environment. Feel the energy, the excitement of innovation. Now, focus on your breath, allowing it to anchor you to the present moment. Observe any anxieties or regrets arising, and gently release them with each exhale." Memory Palace Technique: "Visualize Ada Lovelace standing within the Memory Palace, her image linked to the Silicon Valley hub. This creates a powerful association, making it easier to recall her message." Mnemonic Technique: "Assigning the number 2 to this segment – the youthful dreams and the turning point where greed began to take hold." Segment 3: Memory Palace and Mnemonic Techniques Hetty Green-Hetty': Scrooge in Hoboken Mnemonic Technique: "Assigning the number 3 to this segment Hetty Green, the "Witch of Wall Street," was a real-life figure known for her extreme frugality and sharp business acumen. Her story bears similarities to the fictional character Scrooge in that both were immensely wealthy and known for their miserly ways. However, there are key differences "Memory Palace: A global network of interconnected hubs, representing different cultures and communities." "Mnemonic Techniques: Method of Loci: Associate Ada Lovelace with the Silicon Valley startup and Nelson Mandela with the Mumbai marketplace." "Peg System: Assign numbers to key moments within each visitation: 1. Young Scrooge, 2. The turning point, 3. The present-day impact." "Storytelling: Weave a narrative around the themes of lost potential, regained empathy, and the power of interconnectedness." Guiding listeners through a simple exercise: "Let's create a mini Memory Palace. Choose a familiar route – your home, your workplace. Now, associate key memories or important lessons with specific locations along that route." #MagooXmasCarol2,#TheGhostOfInnovation,#TheGhostOfUbuntu,#MemoryPalaceGlobal, #MnemonicForChange,#HeartBrainCoherence,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour, #Mindfulness,#SelfImprovement,#PersonalGrowth,#Community,#Inspiration, Website: https://www.7kmetals.com/grandpabill/share/p386d

Buffett's significant investment in American Express, based on its strong reputation despite the scandal, resulted in a two-and-a-half-fold return within 18 months. Research and perseverance can lead to great returns, as Wall Street tends to sell indiscriminately during tough times. Warren Buffett's support of management during a crisis helped American Express recover and solidify its reputation.

Hetty Green, a 19th-century investor, was a pioneering value investor who predicted market trends and became a major player in railroads and mortgages. During the Panic of 1907, Hetty Green predicted the failure of a major trust company and later lent to New York City, preventing bankruptcy. Bobby Bonilla's deferred payment contract with the New York Mets showcased the importance of understanding time value of money and opportunity cost. The story of Cristiano Ronaldo's snubbing of Coca-Cola at a press conference led to a $4 billion market drop, but it was actually due to the stock's ex-dividend date, not his actions. The Coca-Cola stock drop was an example of correlation not equaling causation, teaching the importance of distinguishing between the two in investing.

Miserly Ways-Hetty': Scrooge in Hoboken Hetty Green, the "Witch of Wall Street," was a real-life figure known for her extreme frugality and sharp business acumen. Her story bears similarities to the fictional character Scrooge in that both were immensely wealthy and known for their miserly ways. However, there are key differences. Hetty Green's wealth was not inherited, but rather amassed through her own shrewd investments. She was a pioneer in the field of finance, particularly in the area of short selling. Unlike Scrooge, who hoarded his wealth, Green invested her money wisely, often during financial crises. While Scrooge's miserliness was largely driven by greed and a lack of empathy, Green's frugality was more strategic. She lived a simple life and avoided unnecessary expenses, allowing her to accumulate vast wealth. She was also known for her generosity, donating millions of dollars to charity anonymously. Hetty Green's life in Hoboken was marked by both controversy and admiration. She was often criticized for her stinginess and eccentric behavior, but she was also respected for her financial acumen and philanthropic efforts. Her story is a fascinating example of a woman who achieved great success in a male-dominated field, despite facing significant challenges and prejudice. now, I would like to create a mnemonic about Ebenezer Scrooge meeting Hetty Green as The Ghost of Xmas Yet to Come.

We begin by discussing the overall importance of understanding financial history and segue into a conversation about the comprehensive narrative of the US financial system from 1790 to the present which his book provides. Mark highlights the role of key figures such as Alexander Hamilton, discusses the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and introduces one of the least-known, but perhaps biggest trailblazing characters in US financial history: Hetty Green. Higgins also shares his insights on investor behavior and the cyclical nature of markets, as well as his views on the current crypto craze. Throw in Ray Dalio, Andrew Jackson, Robert Triffin and Charlie Munger and there's something for everyone in this excellent conversation.

Welcome to the special episode of Talking Billions. It's Berkshire Hathaway week, and some of you might be heading to Omaha for the company's annual meeting. I'll be there, and I might see some of you. Many of you might be following the event online. Others might be new to Buffett and his company. As a special treat this week, I have an episode with Adam Mead for you. Adam wrote an incredible, almost 800-page book about the history of Berkshire Hathaway. I read it all, and I highly recommend it. Berkshire is an investment vehicle managed by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, two legends in the investing world. There are many books about them and the company, but this one is unique. Adam did an incredible job researching the history of Berkshire long before Buffett's arrival at the helm, leaving us with hints about the future beyond Buffett. If you are a Buffett fan, I think you'll greatly enjoy hearing stories you might be hearing for the first time, or at least how we discuss them might offer a new perspective. If you are new to Buffett and Berkshire, it's a great primer in the history of a very successful investing duo, a one-of-a-kind company, and over 150 years of economic and industrial change in the United States. We start with the whaling fortunes of the northeast, we talk about Hetty Green, a legend of Wall Street of the late 1800s, to a story of the textile industry in America, to Buffett's arrival, and Berkshire's prosperous growth to a giant it is today holding a stake in Apple among others. We'll talk both about the success and some massive mishaps, too. Stay tuned until the end, where we talk about Buffett's lesser-known involvement with Amazon soon after the dot com bubble burst. Our conversation is a lesson in economic history seen through the experience of one company that changed and evolved and continues to flourish today. Adam J. Mead is a life-long student of business and capital allocation. He is the CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Mead Capital Management, LLC. Adam is also the founder of watchlistinvesting.com, a value investing newsletter. Adam spent over a decade in banking in commercial credit, including observing first-hand the after effects of the Great Recession and the long credit expansion afterward. Adam has been investing in public securities markets since 2004. Adam holds a Master of Business Administration from Southern New Hampshire University.

She outsmarted the men of Wall Street at their own game, amassing a fortune that, today, would be worth billions. So, with all that money, why did she die in in squalor, wearing threadbare clothes, alienated from everyone she knew both personally and professionally, with the moniker of "The Witch of Wall Street?"Today, we tell the story of Hetty Green, and explore whether she was a monster who pinched pennies to the point that her son lost a leg because she refused to pay for medical care, or a tragic tale of what happens when money takes the place of love in someone's life.

Surnommée la "sorcière de Wall Street", Hetty Green, qui se trouva à la tête d'une fortune considérable, a pu être considérée par certains comme la femme la plus avare du monde.Née en 1834 à New Bedford, dans le Massachusetts, elle est élevée dans un milieu quaker, où elle apprend le sens de l'économie. Elle montre aussi des dispositions pour les finances, au point de gérer celles de sa famille à un âge précoce.À partir de 1860, elle fait des héritages familiaux, qui, ajoutés à des investissements judicieux, lui font gagner une fortune de plusieurs millions de dollars.Dès lors, Hetty Green ne cessera de s'enrichir, fidèle à sa méthode : se limiter à des placements prudents, conserver toujours d'importantes réserves d'argent et ne jamais paniquer, même au plus fort des crises économiques.Hetty Green n'était pas seulement connue pour sa richesse. En effet, son avarice était devenue légendaire. À la fin de sa vie, cette femme si fortunée vit dans de petits appartements, dont elle change souvent, pour ne pas payer trop d'impôts fonciers.Elle ne s'habille qu'en noir, dans des vêtements élimés qui lui donnent l'air d'une pauvresse. C'est d'ailleurs vêtue ainsi, de ses oripeaux de veuve et de son vieux chapeau, qu'elle était admise dans les hôpitaux comme une indigente. Ce qui lui évitait de régler la note.Et si, malgré tout, on lui réclamait de l'argent, elle préférait ne pas se soigner. Ainsi, dans sa vieillesse, elle refusa de se faire opérer d'une hernie, au motif qu'il lui en coûterait 150 dollars.Et elle ne changeait pas de tenue, ni d'ailleurs de sous-vêtements, tant qu'ils n'étaient pas complètement usés.

What I learned from rereading Meet You in Hell: Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the Bitter Partnership That Changed America by Les Standiford.This episode is brought to you by: Tiny: Tiny is the easiest way to sell your business. Quick and straightforward exits for Founders.—Follow one of my favorite podcasts Invest Like The Best  and check out these great episodes: #137 Bill Gurley: All Things Business and Investing#88 Sam Hinkie: Data, Decisions, and Basketball#204 Sam Hinkie: Find Your People—Subscribe to listen to Founders Premium — Subscribers can ask me questions directly which I will answer in Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes —[0:01] Frick had been the man Carnegie trusted above all others to manage the affairs of Carnegie Steel.[2:00] Carnegie had delegated the job of holding the line on wages and other demands to Frick—a Patton to Carnegie's FDR.[3:00] The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie by Andrew Carnegie.  (Founders #283)[5:00] Here's a starter pack of essentials  for Day 1 defense: customer obsession, a skeptical view of proxies, the eager adoption of external trends, and high-velocity decision making. —Jeff Bezos's Shareholder Letters (Founders #282)[7:00] In less than half a century the United States had been transformed―from a largely agrarian and underdeveloped federation of competing interests, to a relatively cohesive economic juggernaut. The age of the Founding Fathers was over. The Age of the Titans had begun.[12:00] By 1863 Carnegie was earning more than $45,000 a year from this and all his other investments, compared with a mere $2,400 from his railroad salary. Yet he understood that it was the contacts he made and the information he derived from his association with the railroad that made everything else possible.[13:00] More control. Less costs. More profit.[15:00] Technology is just a better way to do something: As a result of the process for transforming iron to steel that bore his name (Bessemer), a quantity of steel that might formerly have taken as long as two weeks to produce could now be made in fifteen minutes.[17:00] Carnegie starts his company during a financial panic. The best time to expand is when no one else dares to take the risk.[20:00] Already the best but still wants to do better: Even his key employees were not spared Carnegie's heavy-handed management style. To almost every positive report Carnegie's response was "Good, but let us do better."[21:00] Cut the prices, scoop the market, watch the costs, and the profits will take care of themselves.[21:00] Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson (Founders #140)[22:00] He could make steel more efficiently than any of them.[24:00] Henry Clay Frick: The Life of the Perfect Capitalist by Quentin Skrabec Jr. (Founders #75)[24:00] Like Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick used a lot of borrowed money to get his start in the coke business. There was a line in one of Rockefeller's biographies where it said “he was the greatest borrower I've ever seen.”[26:00] Frick knew his business down to the ground.[26:00] LIke Carnegie, Frick expands his business during an economic panic. Frick, who would later recall this as one of the most grueling times in his life, proved as undaunted in the face of adversity as Carnegie had been.[34:00] Carneige was accustomed to obedience from his subordinates, but if he expected unquestioned subservience from Henry Frick, he had gravely miscalculated.[36:00] Frick was no puppet, but rather a man willing to take considerable risks in defense of his principles.[37:00] Frick had ambition, a singleness of purpose, and a lack of self—doubt that even Carneige envied.[38:00] Carnegie would repeat the mantra time and again: profits and prices were cyclical, subject to any number of transient forces of the marketplace. Costs, however, could be strictly controlled, and in Carnegie's view, any savings achieved in the costs of goods were permanent.[39:00] On this issue the two men were of one mind. Frick had made his way in coke by the same reckoning that Carnegie had in rail and steel: if you knew your costs down to the penny, you were always on firm ground.[39:00] Frick had always understood how essential new technologies were in driving costs down. Cost control became nearly an obsession.[47:00] [Frick was shot] Only after he was finished with his day's work did Frick permit himself to be carried from the office to an ambulance.[49:00] You must not allow anything to discourage you in the least. Even if things do not go well for some time to come, or even if they should get much worse. Just keep at it, doing the best you can. Do not allow the fact that you are not getting along as well as you would like to lead you to put yourself in a compromising position.[1:03:00] Empires of Light: Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse, and the Race to Electrify the World by Jill Jonnes. (Founders #83)[1:04:00] J.P. Morgan understood the folly of a long-term battle with the Carnegie Company, a firm that controlled its own sources of raw materials, transport, and manufacture, and that was far more deeply capitalized than his or any other of the upstarts. They might stay in the game for a while, and they might put a dent in Carnegie's armor, but in the end, Carnegie would run them into the ground, every one. Subscribe to listen to Founders Premium — Subscribers can ask me questions directly which I will answer in Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes —I use Readwise to organize and remember everything I read.

Cheap suit. Cheap date. Cheap shot. It's a dirty word, laden with negative meanings. It is also the story of author Lauren Weber's life. As a child, she resented her father for keeping the heat at 50 degrees through the frigid New England winters, and for rarely using his car's turn signals-to keep them from burning out. But as an adult, when she found herself walking 30 blocks to save $2 on subway fare, she realized that she had turned into him. What does it mean to be cheap? When is it mature to stow money away and when is it miserly, or even Scrooge-like? And how might Americans navigate economic downturns in an era when everything seems disposable and when credit has felt dangerously unlimited? In answering these questions, In Cheap We Trust combines a consideration of cheapness as it relates to personality, lifestyle, and philosophy with a colorful ride through the history of thrift in America, from Ben Franklin and his famous maxims to Hetty Green, the 19th-century millionaire named by Guinness as "the world's most miserly person," to the branding of Jews, Chinese, and other ethnic groups as cheap in order to neutralize the economic competition they represented. Weber also explores contemporary expressions and dilemmas of thrift, from Dumpster-diving to Keynes's "Paradox of Thrift" to today's recession-driven enthusiasm for frugal living.

Want to help make a difference? Join us in bringing the gospel to Georgetown by supporting our online ministry (harmonychurch.cc/give) ------------------- Sermon Notes Slide Key: Sermons always start with “OPENING ILLUSTRATION:” and end with “CLOSING ILLUSTRATION:"Red = Scripture slides (reflect formatting of scripture on slides, ie - underlines, bold, etc.)All scriptures are NIV unless otherwise notedBold = Slide text“b" or “B” on a line by iself = Slide break/New slideBold ALL CAPS WORDS = heading to be ignored[some text] = programming notes to be paid attention to ----------------------------- OPENING ILLUSTRATION:Years ago I went to Colorado and did this thing called the Pamper Pull. It was this telephone pole that you had to climb on top of, and at the top was this little box you had to figure out how to stand up on. I'll never forget climbing up there and getting up on that box, I got on my knees which was a huge problem because the box was just big enough for your knees and that's it. I had to figure out how to stand up on this pole, 30 feet in the air, swaying back and forth. It was terrifying. Once I stood up, I was supposed to jump out 6 feet and grab a trapeze bar. This is pretty much the definition of insanity. No one in their right mind does this. I'm telling you, I thought about faking a stroke and being like, I need to come down… I'll never forget standing there and counting, 1, 2, 3 and jumping out to that bar. In that moment it was like I was an angel floating in the air, until my hands hit the bar and knocked it out of my reach… Ha, then I was more like a fallen angel. I started plummeting to the ground until this moment where my safety rope caught and stopped my certain death… I'll be honest with youI would have never taken that jump without a safety netor in my case rope We all have safety nets for life:When I was young, I thought of my parents like this, I was always like, “well, could always move back in with them…-some of you keep a list of open jobs people try to recruit you for on LinkedIn, just in case things go sour at work-some of you even keep a safety net in your relationships, “if this doesn't work out, I can always make it on my own…” This morning - I want to take you to a passage where Jesus is going to prick at one of your safety nets. I'm telling you, if you are listening to Him, what He says is going to challenge you… We come into this discussion in the midst of what is called “The sermon on the mount”. Jesus is giving practical teaching that pushes the boundaries of the way these people have thought about their relationship with God and then He says this… Matthew 6:19-2419 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. For most of us, money is perhaps, our biggest safety net of allAnd here's how I know When you have money, you feel more secureWhen you don't have money, you don't feel as secure right? Money is what gives you the ability to do things, to be places, to dream about your future. If you didn't have money, you wouldn't be able to eat, cloth yourself, put a roof over your head and a million other things… Money is what makes the world go round…bSo what is Jesus' problem? Oh man, I know it seems sacrilegious for me to ask that - but be honest, that's what you were thinking right? Actually, this teaching brings up a bunch of questions for me, but I want to explore 2 of them and show you that maybe Jesus wasn't as crazy as He seems…The 2 questions: Why is it a problem to store up treasures for yourself on earth?How in the world do you store up treasures in heaven? b Why is it a problem to store up treasures for yourself on earth? ILLUSTRATION:In the late 1800's and early 1900's there was a woman named Hetty Green who was one of the wealthiest women to have ever lived. Hetty turned a few million dollars into the equivalent of billions of dollars. What's interesting thought is that you would have never known Hetty was rich from the outset. It's said that she told the woman who washed her clothes to only wash the bottom of her dress because that was the only part that got dirty. She one time dressed as a poor woman to try and deceive the hospital that she wasn't rich, worried they would over charge her. When they realized what she was doing, the denied her service for her son whose leg was injured. He ended up having it amputated later. When Hetty died, she was buried in a cemetery that she had chosen because it was free to be buried there. to understand why storing up treasure for yourself on earth is a problem, you need to hear something Jesus says at the end of this short passage:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. some people will claim Jesus is a pie in the sky thinker, but I don't think that's it…-Jesus is as practical as you can get He's saying, “want to know what someone cares about? Look at their bank account” If you are not a Christian, it's not a problem to store up treasure for yourself… Heck, that's what I would doBut if you've actually come to understand that there is something greater going on here, and you are still Hetty Green storing it up for yourself only, you are missing the boat… ILLUSTRATION:It would be like having a friend who was in a play and was a millionaire in the play, they had stuffed his pockets with tons of fake money for the play. And afterwards he tried to buy your dinner with that money and believed he was something because of the role he played in the play. A follower of Jesus has come to recognize that this world is not their homeBWe don't seek to live for the present as much as for eternity…That brings me to the second question… How in the world do you store up treasures in heaven? Matthew 6:19-2119 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. What Jesus is saying makes sense to you, right? If he was saying it today, he's saying “your money isn't safe in this world” ILLUSTRATION:I'll never forget having an older gentlemen come into my office during the great recession in 2008. He came in to talk because his retirement was still in the stock market and he lost almost everything. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, “I thought we were going to retire this year, but I'm going to have to keep working…” Jesus is making a statement of factAs long as your treasure is in this world, it is uncertain-it can be taken from you as quickly as it was given - and so Jesus tells you to put your treasure in a place where it can't be touched… But how do you do that?To answer that, I need to tell you another instance from Jesus' life - we actually touched on this a while back, so I won't go into a lot of detail. But there was a rich young man who came up to ask Jesus what he needed to do to get eternal life and Jesus told him, Mark 10:21“One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasureinheaven. Then come, follow me.” Invest in life change rather than investing to get changebJesus was saying, use your money to impact people Not sure you believe me, listen to this verse - I've never heard another preacher preach on this EVER, but it's SO powerful to me…Luke 16:99 I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. Jesus is literally saying, “use your worldly wealth to buy friends for the Kingdom” How do you store up treasure in heaven? You stop seeing your wealth as the means to make you rich and you see it as the means to making disciples.Treasure in heaven = investment in people, because people are the only thing that will translate from this life to the next. CLOSING ILLUSTRATION:My dad would rip up 10 dollars, get half now, half later… He'd tell us if we did the work we'd promised that we'd get the other half of the $10 bill, so if you ever got a $10 bill that was taped together, I'm sorry… :) but there was something to realizing that the work I was doing would be rewarded later… Listen, this whole series is about being rich, and the very premise of it is that In the Kingdom of God, what makes you wealthy is not the balance in your bank account, but the impact you have on eternity. My goal has been to put half the $10 bill in your hand and say, don't miss the reward God longs to drop into your hands if you change the way you live now and start to think about how to make investments in heaven… My hope today is to move you and I to start actively looking at our generosity and to make it a priority in our life.

What I learned from reading Billy Durant Creator of General Motors: The Story of the Flamboyant Genius Who Helped Lead America into the Automobile Age by Lawrence Gustin.[0:32] DURANT MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT AUTOMOBILE PIONEER: Of all the colorful men who propelled the United States into the automobile age, Billy Durant was perhaps the most unusual, and from an organizational standpoint in the pioneering era, the most important. Durant had a hand in shaping the beginnings of three of the four major American automobile manufacturing corporations that exist today.[4:16] HIS LIFE STORY HAS A SURPRISING END: The guy founded General Motors, Chrysler, and Frigidaire. Three gigantic, successful companies. How does he die with no money?[6:04] DURANT TRIED TO PROTECT HIS INVESTORS: He had an attitude, not a common among men of big money. He tried to protect the people who invested with him, even if this protection would break him. Finally, it did. And when he was unable to save the dollars of his supporters he plunged from multimillionaire to bankruptcy.[10:29] DURANT WAS SKEPTICAL OF AUTOMOBILES: Durant starts out as an automobile skeptic. He builds the General Motors of horse-drawn transportation and then takes that same playbook and uses it again to do the same thing in the automobile industry once he gets over his skepticism.[17:08] IF SOMETHING IS IMPORTANT TO YOUR BUSINESS YOU NEED TO CONTROL IT: We have seen this over and over and over and over again in these stories throughout the history of entrepreneurship. If something is important to your business, you need to control it. Durant line up a big contract for the buggies only to find that Patterson chanced upon the same buyer and told him that since the product was actually being made at his factory, the buyer could save money by buying directly from him. Durant that from then on they would build all their own vehicles.[19:12] DURANT ON SALES: Assume that the person you are talking to knows as much or more than you do. Do not talk too much. Give the customer time to think. In other words, let the customer sell himself. That system works best when you have a good product. Look for a self - seller. If you cannot find one, make one.[21:48] ON CONTROL. HENRY FORD REALIZED THIS. THE DODGE BROTHERS DID TOO: We started out as assemblers with no advantage over our competitors. We paid about the same prices for everything we purchased. We realized that we were making no progress and would not unless and until we manufactured practically every important part that we used. We proceeded to purchase plants and the control of plants, which made it possible for us to build up the largest carriage company in the United States.[31:36] DURANT WAS AT THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE RIGHT TIME, WITH THE RIGHT SET OF SKILLS: For the first time, he began to see that the automobile had a future. The stockholders of Buick were so desperate that they were willing to turn over controlling interest to him. And perhaps most important, the Durant-Dort Carriage Company had a large, idle factory. [39:11] IT WAS HARD TO RAISE MONEY FOR GENERAL MOTORS: I had a long, hot session with our friends in New York yesterday and was pretty nearly used up at the finish. If you think it is an easy matter to get money from New York capitalists to finance a motor car proposition in Michigan, you have another guess coming. Money is hard to get owing to a somewhat unaccountable feeling of uneasiness and a general distrust of the automobile proposition.[44:25] BILLY DURANT'S MASTER PLAN FOR GENERAL MOTORS: Durant's aim was nothing less than to gain control of some of the biggest and best automobile companies in America. But he also wanted to get in on the ground floor with companies just starting. Durant: “They could be purchased by exchanging small amounts of stock, and who could tell what their patents, products, and inventions might bring? The automobile industry was in its infancy, the public was fickle, the only sure road to power and success was to have a wide range of products. I figured if I could acquire a few more companies like the Buick, I would have control of the greatest industry in this country. A great opportunity, no time to lose, I must get busy.”[51:30] DON VALENTINE TEACHES YOU BUSINESS IN TWO MINUTES: There are two things in business that matter, and you can learn this in two minutes --you don't have to go to business school for two years: high gross margins and cash flow. All companies that go out of business do so for the same reason- they run out of money." —Don Valentine[55:10] GENERAL MOTORS RUNS OUT OF MONEY! DURANT IS FORCED OUT: The bankers demanded control of the company. Durant had no choice but to accept. Automotive historians have generally described the terms as exorbitant. And Durant, in his memoirs, fumed: “The $ 15 million loan finally offered had outrageous terms which I was forced to accept. Under the terms, I received $ 12,250,000 cash ( not $ 15 million ), for which I gave $ 21,600,000 of the best securities ever created — the enormous interest of $ 9,350,000.[57:57] DURANT'S STRATEGY FOR CHEVROLET WAS TO FOCUS ON THE LOW PRICED MARKET BECAUSE IT HAD MORE DEMAND THAN SUPPLY : Henry Ford couldn't build enough cars to satisfy the entire demand for a low priced automobile.[1:04:50] THE UNUSUAL HAPPENS, USUALLY. BILLY DURANT IS THE OPPOSITE OF HETTY GREEN OR MARK SPITZNAGEL: In 1920 the boom that had followed the end of WWI came to a rather abrupt halt and the United States slumped into a sharp recession. The price of GM stock began to decline steadily. GM sold 47,000 cars a month. By November monthly sales were down to 12,000. Durant realized GM needed money.[1:10:26] BILLY DURANT'S LIFE SHOULD HAVE HAD A HAPPIER ENDING: All that can be said for certain about Durant's last days at GM is that his activities in the stock market placed him in an extremely vulnerable situation. Louis Kaufman said in 1927 that had Durant not become involved in the market he would have been worth $500 million and still in charge of GM. ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.
