In this episode, we sit down for a deep dive into lessons from value investor Tobias Carlisle, exploring several key insights from our conversations with him over the years. In this Halloween-themed episode (complete with plenty of Reese's cups), we break down Toby's perspectives on what makes an ideal business, the critical importance of survival in investing, portfolio concentration vs diversification, and whether today's tech giants can maintain their dominance. We cover how See's Candy exemplifies the theoretical perfect business model, why survival should be every investor's first priority, and the delicate balance between running concentrated portfolios that maximize returns versus diversified ones that investors can actually stick with through tough times. We also dig into the age-old debate of pure value versus quality value investing, with Toby sharing his data-driven insights on which approach truly works best. We also explore the importance of writing down your investment thesis at the time you make it. As Toby explains, this simple practice helps prevent revisionist history and allows you to learn from both your successes and mistakes. Throughout the episode, we weave in our own experiences and perspectives while maintaining the conversational, occasionally sugar-fueled style our listeners have come to expect. Whether you're a value investor, a financial planner, or just someone interested in improving your investment process, there are valuable takeaways here for everyone.

Jim Schleckser introduces Kirk Aubry, highlighting their long-standing friendship and Kirk's career trajectory from an ad agency to a Chief Strategy Officer at Textron and now CEO of Savage, a logistics company. Savage, founded 80 years ago by three brothers, has grown from a single truck to a global company with 4,200 team members and 225 locations. They handle the transportation of bulk products, such as petroleum coke and grain, which are critical to their customers' operations. Kirk discusses the challenges of running a low-margin, capital-intensive business and how Savage has carved out a niche in handling difficult materials. The company owns and operates its own trucks, railcars, and equipment, which differentiates it from traditional logistics businesses. Savage has grown significantly, reaching $4.5 billion in revenue. One key to Savage's success is their focus on leadership talent, especially at the local operation level. They created the "On Deck" program to train and prepare future managers, ensuring a consistent and scalable leadership pipeline. Kirk emphasizes the importance of a strong cultural foundation, rooted in the company's Vision and Legacy statements, distilled into three guiding principles: Do the right thing, find a better way, and make a difference.
In this thought-provoking message, we delve into the often-overlooked but profoundly important concept of lament in the Bible, particularly focusing on the Book of Psalms. Lead Pastor Matt Sturdevant guides us through a comprehensive exploration of what lament is, why it matters, and how it can be a powerful tool for processing pain and drawing closer to God in our modern lives. Key Points Discussed: 1. Understanding Lament - Definition: Expressing deep distress, sorrow, grief, or regret - Lament as the historic prayer language of God's people - Over one-third of Psalms are laments 2. The Importance of Lament - Provides a vocabulary for loss and suffering - Offers a solution for silence in our relationship with God - Creates a category for appropriate complaints to God - Establishes a framework for processing difficult emotions - Serves as a form of worship, even in pain 3. Structure of Lament Psalms - Direct address to God - Complaint or lament - Petition for help - Expression of confidence in God - Vow of praise - Example: Detailed breakdown of Psalm 13 4. Practical Lessons from Lament - God's mercy never ends - Waiting is not a waste - The middle is not the end of the story - God is always good 5. Lament in Practice - How to complain to God appropriately - The journey from pain to trust - Lament as a bridge between suffering and hope 6. Penitential Laments - Focus on Psalm 51 as an example - David's response to his sins of adultery and murder - The power of confession and seeking forgiveness 7. Connecting Old Testament Lament to New Testament Hope - The forgiveness and restoration available through Christ - How lament can lead us to a deeper appreciation of God's grace Throughout the message, Pastor Matt weaves together biblical insights, practical application, and contemporary relevance. He emphasizes that lament is not just an ancient practice but a vital tool for modern believers navigating a broken world. You are encouraged to view lament as a constructive way to process pain, rather than suppressing emotions or falling into despair. The message highlights how lament can actually strengthen your faith by fostering honest communication with God and ultimately leading to a renewed trust in His character and promises. Key Takeaways: 1. Lament is a biblical and healthy way to express pain to God. 2. The structure of lament provides a framework for moving from pain to praise. 3. Practicing lament can deepen our relationship with God and increase our trust in Him. 4. Even in the midst of suffering, we can hold onto the truth of God's goodness and mercy. 5. Lament is not just complaining; it's a journey towards hope and renewed faith. The message encourages you to incorporate lament into your prayers. Pastor Matt suggests starting by reading through Psalms of lament and using their structure as a guide for personal prayers during difficult times. You are also reminded that while lament is crucial, it's not the end of the story. The ultimate hope for believers is found in the Gospel - the good news of forgiveness, restoration, and eternal life offered through Jesus Christ. Whether you're currently in a season of lament or seeking to better understand this important aspect of the Christian faith, this episode provides valuable insights and practical guidance. Don't miss this powerful exploration of how honest expression of pain can lead to deeper trust in God and renewed hope for the future.
Security is both overcooked and underdeveloped at the same time, and we keep doubling down on insanity. Our own community is at great fault for pushing fear and ignoring service, leading to consistent, negative experiences for all other stakeholders in the organization - and ultimately the CISOs themselves. "Do more cyber" never had, does not, and never will lead to better outcomes, yet this is all everyone is talking about. The trifecta of fear (we fear it, we don't understand it, we know we must have it) is used effectively by vendors to drive an ever-increasing wedge into IT budgets, even as the actual utilization ratio of security tools is precipitously low (my estimate is 5%). Frustration abounds, the CISO job is a revolving door, and nobody's happy. Now the regulators are getting involved in all the wrong ways (see the recent SEC action against Tim Brown) - and it's entirely our fault. This segment is sponsored by Spirion.

The Sun is a major figure in Cherokee mythology; the world depends upon her light and warmth, but is at the mercy of her brutal heat when she is slighted by her brother, the Moon. In this story, recorded from the Eastern Band of Cherokee in the late 19th century, a plan to stop the Sun from burning the world leads to the death of her daughter, and a plan to bring her back from the Ghost Country.

The most popular episode of this podcast is Practical Lessons from Ukraine, which went over basic things to have and do if you are invaded. Almost two years later, we will discuss impractical lessons. Namely, how impractical and destructive it is in the long term to make purely pragmatic decisions in the short term... to move geopolitical goalposts to suit personal business opportunities... and to blur the lines of borders and treaties just to get media attention. That's right, we will be discussing everything from Tucker Carlson's interview with Putin to Handwaving Freakoutery's analysis of Ukraine Aid (https://hwfo.substack.com/p/real-talk-about-ukraine-funding), and from Hillary Clinton to the Superbowl.

Happy Halloween, trick-or-treaters! Grab some candy corn, a mug of hot cider, and a blanket—it's time for our third and final art world horror story of the year. Produced by NOT REAL ART parent company Crewest Studio, Art World Horror Stories is a podcast series about bad things that happen to good artists. On today's podcast episode, host and NOT REAL ART founder Scott “Sourdough” Power shares some spine-tingling anecdotes from his personal collection of art world horror stories. Rather than indulging every screwup and screw over from his 30-year career in the arts, Scott distills the horror into five practical tips for artists at every stage of their careers. “One of the lessons I've learned over 30 years in the art world, working with artists and doing projects with clients, is that poor negotiation skills result in bad deals,” he says. “Get that signed contract. You will live a happier, healthier life, not horrified and mortified by art world shenanigans.”Tuning in, you'll learn about the value of comprehensive communication, solid negotiation, copyright protection, clear contracts, and stoking demand for original art. Yes, bad things still happen to good artists, but they're significantly less likely if you implement Scott's hard-won lessons. “One of the fundamental reasons that bad things happen to good artists is because of financial reasons,” he says. “We need money to live and to work. Ultimately, when we're struggling to make ends meet, it's harder to do good deals and communicate better because you're strapped, you're paranoid, and you're stressed out, so you want to do that deal.“Good, clear, comprehensive, real-time communication is essential to avoiding an art world horror story.”Key Points From This Episode:The spooky history of Halloween and trick-or-treating, which goes back 2,000 years.Why bad things happen to good artists when communication isn't prioritized.The art of negotiation: why poor negotiators tend to make poor deals.Benefits of investing in copyright protection for your work.How a signed contract can help you avoid art world shenanigans.What a “weak demand for cultural products” means for your art practice.For more information, please visit http://notrealart.com/art-world-horror-stories-five-lessons
