Podcasts about Skip

What if instead of going on five or six dates, texting for weeks, and trying to figure out if you actually like somebody… you just skipped all of that and went on vacation together? On this episode of Men Don't Know Podcast, Chris and friends call up some friends to ask whether taking a trip with someone early in the dating process could actually tell you everything you need to know. Do vacations expose compatibility faster? Who pays for the trip? How soon is too soon? Can vacation chemistry fool you into thinking the relationship is better than it really is? And what happens when the trip is amazing—but real life doesn't feel the same when you get home? We're talking travel, dating, money, boundaries, red flags, vacation hookups, and whether skipping straight to the getaway is a genius dating strategy… or a terrible idea. Would you skip the dates and go straight to the vacation? Follow Men Don't Know Podcast for more conversations about dating, relationships, love, and the things men and women still don't fully understand about each other.

Dana Shaker is a trademark lawyer, policy consultant, business owner, and yoga and wellness teacher helping lawyers, law students, and law graduates build more intentional wellness practices. In this episode, Dana returns to You Are a Lawyer to share how her relationship with yoga has evolved, why she launched her own trademark law firm, and how lawyers can create space for themselves while building demanding careers.Lawyer Side HustlesJourney and Practice grew from Dana's personal experience using yoga and mindfulness during stressful periods of her own legal journey. Today, she teaches yoga and wellness specifically for the legal community, including lawyers, law students, law graduates, and bar exam students. Her approach extends beyond physical movement to include meditation, reflection, mindfulness, and creating intentional space to reconnect with yourself.“That's the beauty of life is that we have the opportunity to change every day, and we do change every day,” shares Dana Shakerin Episode 71 of You Are a Lawyer.Becoming a teacher has also changed Dana's relationship with yoga. Teaching a class is not the same as practising for herself, and she has learned that being of service to others cannot replace making time for her own wellbeing. Sometimes that means rolling out her mat for only ten or twenty minutes and asking herself what she needs that day. That mindset has helped her become more intentional about balancing her own practice with the demands of teaching, consulting, practising law, and running businesses.This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

Pivoting into real estate is harder in 2026 than it was a decade ago, but the opportunity is still there for anyone willing to be honest about their skills and their market. In this episode, host Chris Lopez sits down with Tripp Gordon, who recently walked away from nearly a decade in software and venture-backed tech. Tripp owns two long-term rentals and is now trying to build a real estate career that pays the bills today while funding a longer-term portfolio. He came in with sharp questions, and Chris answered them from the seat of someone who has already lived through the same pivot. Chris walks through the four things that need to line up before starting any new venture: market conditions, your actual skill set, your genuine desire, and your available capital. Skip any one of them and the odds get worse. He explains why liquidity separated the investors who kept going from the ones who got washed out, why Denver is in a slower phase while other metros run, and where that gap creates opportunity for patient buyers. Chris also shares a friend’s west-side six-unit flip that returned roughly 3x in nine months, makes the case that multifamily is bottoming, and pushes back on the “never sell, never pay taxes” mindset that leaves so much wealth creation on the table. In this episode we cover: Why pivoting into real estate needs market, skill, desire, and capital working together How to tell burnout from the normal grind of building something What actually happened to multifamily syndications and why the setup looks different now A friend’s west-side Denver six-unit flip that returned roughly 3x in nine months Whether the real estate agent path is still worth pursuing in 2026 Day jobs inside real estate that give you a knowledge edge, from fund accounting to asset management Why “never sell, never pay taxes” deserves a harder look Chris’s mother-in-law suite conversion and house hacking at every life stage Watch the Youtube Video https://youtu.be/hVSkN62ObKk Timestamps 01:30 – Meet Tripp Gordon, pivoting from tech into real estate 05:09 – Chris’s four-part framework for any pivot 09:25 – How to tell “I hate this” from “this is just the hard part” 13:10 – Who survived the end of the easy era 18:44 – Multifamily distress and where opportunity is now 26:30 – Is the real estate agent path still worth it? 32:01– Day jobs that give you a real estate knowledge edge 41:56– Why “never sell” is worth rethinking Links in Podcast Contact Tripp Gordon: tripp528@gmail.comProperty Llama Capital: https://capital.propertyllama.com/

Do girls really develop faster than boys, and what should parents understand about the differences? In this episode of The Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss break down the developmental differences between boys and girls, including early childhood milestones, brain development, communication, movement, play, and behavior. Parents often compare when their child starts crawling, walking, talking, sitting up, or reaching other developmental milestones. But boys and girls may progress differently, and understanding those differences can help parents avoid creating unnecessary expectations around their child's development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie discuss why girls may reach certain developmental milestones earlier, why boys may develop differently during the early years, and how movement, communication, hormones, brain development, and environment can influence childhood development. They also explore how parenting styles, school environments, technology, physical activity, and opportunities to communicate and play can influence the way children learn and develop. Most importantly, every child develops differently. Instead of constantly comparing one child to another, parents can focus on supporting healthy movement, communication, learning, and development throughout childhood. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Boys vs. Girls: Who Develops Faster? 00:29 – Meet Dr. Skip & Dr. Julie 01:56 – Developmental Differences Between Boys and Girls 04:26 – Crawling, Rolling, Walking & Early Milestones 10:20 – How Boys and Girls Play & Communicate Differently 12:58 – Parenting, School & Childhood Development 19:42 – Supporting Your Child's Brain Development

Last week, we spoke about supplements, exploring how to select them, how to combine them intentionally, and how a simpler program that focuses on the actual root cause will almost always outperform those built around symptoms.If you haven't listened to Episode 107 yet, I recommend starting there because we're picking up right where we left off today, looking at what real healing looks like, why patience matters, and why you shouldn't give up on a treatment plan before the original symptom has been resolved.The Whole HorseOnce you have a plan based on the underlying cause, assess the improvement across the whole horse, not just the symptom that initially caused concern. The original complaint is often the most advanced problem and can be the last thing to resolve. If you focus exclusively on it, you may miss significant improvements happening elsewhere.Healing Takes TimeRecovery rarely happens in a straight line. There will often be periods of noticeable improvement, pauses, and even temporary setbacks. Years of dysfunction cannot necessarily be reversed quickly, so consistency and patience are essential. The horse's body needs time and a stable environment in which to recover.Early SignsChanges in the horse's energy and engagement can appear before any visible physical changes. A horse may greet you more readily, enjoy its food, play with other horses, or show more vitality. Those subtle changes can indicate that things are beginning to shift at a foundational level.Brighter DemeanorMore alert eyes, greater interest in the surroundings, and the return of personality can be meaningful signs of improvement. Horses with equine metabolic syndrome can experience fatigue and what appears to be depression, which can sometimes be mistaken for normal behavior until their vitality begins to return.Valuable InformationMore consistent manure, less gas and bloating, and reduced puffiness can all provide valuable information. In horses with equine metabolic syndrome, digestive improvements are especially important because gut health is closely connected to the broader picture of metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, and absorption.Partial ImprovementSwelling can improve in stages rather than disappearing completely at once. Even partial improvement can be meaningful. A noticeable reduction in swelling during the first week or two may indicate that the horse is moving in the right direction, while further improvement can take time.Metabolic ChangesThe crest and fat pads provide valuable information about what is happening metabolically, but they may be among the last things to resolve completely. A crest may first soften and then gradually decrease, while fat pads can take time to reduce. Hoof RecoveryComfortable movement is important, and appropriate hoof care and support are essential. Hoof inflammation and pain often take longer to resolve, particularly following laminitis, founder, or prolonged hoof problems. You may also need to correct trimming issues and allow the hoof capsule to grow out over time.Don't Abandon a Plan Too QuicklyIf the original symptom is not resolved, it can be tempting to change direction or add more supplements. Before changing course, however, give the existing plan enough time to work, and look for any other improvements that may have occurred.Your Horse's BaselinePay attention to how the horse moves in the morning, how its crest and fat pads feel, how it greets you, how it eats, and how it interacts with its environment. You don't need to record every detail obsessively. Just become familiar enough with the horse's baseline to notice any changes. Keep a RecordWhen you record where your horse started and look back periodically, improvements that seemed insignificant at the time can become obvious. With root-cause work, changes can often occur gradually and quietly, so don't abandon your plan simply because the progress you see isn't dramatic.Skip's ProgressAfter Skip's program was simplified, his digestion relaxed first, followed by improvements in his relationship with food, satiety, energy, inflammation, and fat pads. His hooves took the longest to improve. That explains how focusing on just one symptom can make you miss any other meaningful progress.Different Recovery PatternsImprovements don't happen in the same order or on the same timeline for every horse. So, look for an overall pattern rather than expecting everything to improve at once. Always remember to pay attention to changes across the whole horse, and remember that no two horses will heal in precisely the same way.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website.Healing Horses their Way: Get more information and join the waitlistJoin my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.

What would you say if I told you there is a way to choose the judge for your divorce, and skip the courtroom, entirely? The answer might surprise you. It's arbitration. In almost six years of Divorce and Beyond, arbitration has never been part of the conversation, until now. Susan Guthrie welcomes family law attorney Amanda Mason, co-founder and CEO of Solagree, a virtual flat-fee divorce process that puts expert financial and parenting guidance and mediation first, with private arbitration as the backdrop, so nobody gets stuck and nobody ends up in court. Amanda built Solagree after going through her own divorce, including a full custody trial in the same courthouse where she had practiced for years. She knows the system from both sides of the counsel table and has decided families deserve something better. This conversation explores why delay and fear fuel conflict, why functioning is not the same as healing, and how closing the exits keeps both spouses committed to reaching resolution. For anyone going through a divorce, and the professionals helping families restructure through it, this one changes what you think your options are. Together, Susan and Amanda break down how arbitration cuts the delay that fuels conflict, why it is not litigation light, and how agreeing up front that an arbitrator will decide whatever you can't settle closes the exits so no one can walk away or drag it out forever. For anyone going through a divorce, and the professionals helping families restructure through it, this one changes what you think your options are. What You'll Hear: How arbitration lets you and your spouse choose a decision-maker with deep family law experience, even for their reputation for kindness, instead of whichever judge is assigned to your case. Why delay creates conflict, with every month waiting for a court date adding paperwork updates, professional fees, and distrust. How fear stops people from settling, and why starting with financial and parenting specialists before anyone negotiates makes settlement stop feeling impossible. Why this is not litigation light, keeping every tool from expert witnesses to appraisals while giving up the backlog, the formality, and the courtroom. About this week's special guest: Amanda Mason Amanda Mason is a family law attorney, certified mediator, and the co-founder and CEO of SOLAGREE®, a virtual, flat-fee divorce process built to keep families out of court. Admitted to the North Carolina bar in 2003, Amanda has spent more than two decades in family law and is a partner at Mason, Mason & Smith in Wilmington, North Carolina. She is certified by the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission as both a Family Financial and a Superior Court Civil mediator, and she has been named to the North Carolina Super Lawyers list for 2025, 2026, and 2027, after appearing on the Rising Stars list from 2015 to 2018. Her work on SOLAGREE began with her own divorce. Amanda went through a full custody trial in the same courthouse where she had practiced for years, and standing on the other side of the counsel table changed how she saw the system. In 2019 she began building an alternative: a structured process where couples agree at the outset that private arbitration, not a courtroom, will decide anything they cannot settle themselves. That single commitment removes the two things that derail most divorces, one spouse walking away and one spouse dragging it out. SOLAGREE® is a virtual, flat-fee divorce process that replaces the courtroom with a private, structured path to resolution. It works in three phases. In the first, a certified divorce financial analyst and a parenting specialist help each person understand their financial picture and define their parenting goals, without the usual discovery slog. In the second, an experienced family law mediator guides the negotiation, where most cases resolve. In the third, if anything is still unresolved, a private arbitrator the couple helps select issues a binding decision. What sets it apart is the commitment at the front end. Both people agree from the start that arbitration, not court, will decide whatever they cannot settle. Amanda calls it a closed system, and it is why nobody can walk away and nobody can stall. A set of standard ground rules, including what she calls her anti-ghosting provisions, keeps both parties participating. Pricing is flat and published up front, by track: Parenting at $2,250 per person, Financial at $4,800 per person, and Combined at $5,990 per person, including the neutral experts, the mediation, the arbitration, and the final award. The entire process runs online. Attorneys are welcome and optional, and SOLAGREE is expanding state by state toward nationwide availability.

Several people saw Lauren severely intoxicated and struggling to walk, yet the men who were with her later gave accounts that did not always match, including differing versions of how she spent her final known 90 minutes and whether she actually left the townhome where she was last reported alive. Over the years, investigators have examined theories ranging from an accidental death and concealed body to abduction, serial killer Daniel Messel and even Israel Keyes, but no direct evidence has established what happened. Fifteen years later, Lauren's parents are still waiting for the one piece of information that could finally explain where their daughter went. Allison walks through the evidence, the inconsistencies and the details that continue to keep Lauren Spierer's disappearance unresolved.Over 150 bonus episodes waiting for YOU: https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcoffeecouple Our Amazon Shop (stuff we like that we share on the show): https://amzn.to/48mohHX All our links (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Merch, etc):https://linktr.ee/crimeandcoffee Facebook Group to discuss episodes:www.facebook.com/groups/crimeandcoffeecouplepodcast/ References available at https://www.crimeandcoffeecouple.com a few days after this podcast airs.

Zhu Rongji went from being branded a political outcast to becoming one of the most important economic reformers in modern Chinese history. As mayor of Shanghai, vice premier, central bank governor and eventually premier, he helped tackle inflation, restructure China's huge state-owned sector and push the country toward greater integration with the global economy. In this episode, Skip Montreux and Dez Morgan look back on Zhu Rongji's remarkable life and career, from his difficult early years to his role in transforming Shanghai and helping bring China into the World Trade Organization. Skip and Dez begin with Zhu's early life in Changsha, Hunan. Orphaned as a child, he went on to study electrical engineering at Tsinghua University before beginning a career in industrial and economic planning. But his career was interrupted after he criticized problems in government economic policy during the 1950s. Zhu was branded a ‘rightist', expelled from the Communist Party and later sent to the countryside. His political fortunes changed in 1978, when his rightist designation was overturned and his Party membership restored. Zhu quickly rose through China's economic bureaucracy before being sent to Shanghai, where he became mayor in 1988 and later the city's top Party official. There, he promoted foreign investment, infrastructure development and financial reform as Shanghai began its transformation into a major international business center. Skip and Dez then look at Zhu's move to Beijing and his role in dealing with China's overheating economy during the early 1990s. With inflation reaching around 24% in 1994, Zhu helped tighten bank lending and reform taxation, banking and foreign exchange. China eventually achieved a ‘soft landing', reducing inflation while maintaining economic growth. They also examine the much more painful restructuring of China's state-owned enterprises. After becoming premier in 1998, Zhu accelerated the closure and restructuring of loss-making companies, forcing businesses to become more efficient but also contributing to millions of workers losing their jobs. Finally, Skip and Dez explore what became one of Zhu's defining economic projects — China's entry into the World Trade Organization. After almost 15 years of negotiations, China officially became the WTO's 143rd member on December 11, 2001. The move opened China further to international trade and investment and helped accelerate its integration into global manufacturing and commerce. This episode gives listeners an introduction to Zhu Rongji and an important period in China's economic development while building useful Business English and economic vocabulary. In this episode, you will learn: How Zhu Rongji went from political outcast to one of China's most senior leaders. How his work in Shanghai helped modernize the city's economy. How China brought inflation under control during the 1990s. Why reforming state-owned enterprises created both economic change and major social costs. Why China's 2001 entry into the WTO became such an important moment for the Chinese and global economies. Do you like what you hear?

Jon then delivers what he hopes is his final word on the ongoing Twitter pile on accusing Badlands of being anti Trump over host Shipwreck's stance on voting, defending his hands off editorial philosophy and pointing out the hypocrisy of accusers who've said far more extreme things themselves. Other news includes the Supreme Court allowing expanded voter citizenship checks to continue, Trump and Xi's friendly White House summit covering trade and "superintelligence," an appeals court upholding the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic, and the Senate narrowly defeating a War Powers Resolution on Iran. Sponsor reads and a lively chat session round out a newsy, drama filled Friday show.

I've had north of a hundred authors on this show. This one stuck with me differently, and it's because of one word: Purgatory.Geoff Curtis spent nearly thirty years building a career in healthcare communications. Title, expertise, platform, the whole thing. Then the company was acquired, his role went redundant, and all of it disappeared at once. What followed wasn't a reinvention arc. It was the discovery that he'd spent his adult life using work to avoid feeling anything.He picked purgatory on purpose. As he puts it, words like transition imply progress, and he wasn't making any.The other choice that makes this book different: most people write about this from the far side, after they've figured it out. Geoff is writing from inside it. Three years out and still working through it. There's no five step plan in here, and some readers are frustrated by that. I think it's the reason the book works.The idea I keep coming back to is his separation of three things we tend to mash together. Livelihood, identity, and self-worth. Livelihood puts food on the table. That's all it has to be. The trouble starts when livelihood quietly becomes identity, and identity becomes self-worth. Then losing the job isn't a financial event, it's an existential one.We also got into something that isn't in the book. Four weeks before we talked, Geoff did the Hoffman Process. Eight days, completely unplugged, thirty nine strangers, fifteen hours of prep work and days running 7:15 in the morning to 9:30 at night, all aimed at understanding which of your behavior patterns you inherited from your parents. He says he wishes he'd written the book afterward.Fair warning, this one is heavier than most. Depression, grief, his father's death, and a lot of honesty about patterns neither of us is done with.In this episode:Why he chose purgatory over transitionLivelihood versus identity versus self-worthThirty years of running on external validationRunning as emotional suppression, and how to tell it from progressNew metrics for happiness, and why the old ones keep coming backInvesting in yourself, therapy, and the Hoffman ProcessWhy people doubt themselves inside corporate, not just outside itThe imposter syndrome nobody on his team ever mentioned to each otherEverything is a choice, and why we only price the downsideABOUT THE GUESTGeoff Curtis spent nearly thirty years in healthcare communications before an acquisition made his role redundant. He's the author of Embracing Your Own Purgatory, written from inside the transition rather than after it, and he now runs a nonprofit he built with his wife that works with college students.LINKSThe book: Embracing Your Own Purgatory — Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and anywhere books are sold Author site: https://geoffreycurtis.com/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffreycurtis/THE IDEAS WORTH KEEPINGLivelihood is not identity is not self-worth. Three things, and we let them fuse. "Livelihood puts food on the table. If you don't make the livelihood the identity, then you're good."Transition implies progress. Purgatory doesn't. That's why he picked the harder word.Running versus progressing. Both are fine, but you have to evaluate the ending. Why did you leave? Bored, burned out, actually moving toward something? Skip that and you rinse and repeat for thirty years.Closer to right than quick. The nonprofit took two and a half years instead of the five months his old metrics demanded. That gap is where the real work happened.Realism as a Trojan horse. Geoff's admission that he uses "I'm a realist" to smuggle in negativity is the sharpest self-observation in the episode.You're not your patterns. The Hoffman framing: you absorb your parents' patterns as a kid to stay close to them, rebel against them as a teenager, then repeat them under stress for the rest of your life until somebody shows you where they came from.The conversation nobody has. Geoff and a former direct report both had imposter syndrome the whole time and never said a word. "I always thought you had it together, and I wanted to make sure you thought I had it together."TIMESTAMPSEstimated from the transcript.

Jeffrey Deskovic was wrongfully convicted as a teenager and spent 16 years in prison before DNA evidence led to his exoneration. Today, he is an attorney, advocate, and founder of the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice. In this episode, Jeffrey shares how he maintained hope, why he went to law school, and how he's using his legal career to help free others and fight for criminal justice reform. Lawyer Side HustlesJeffrey's work extends far beyond representing clients in court. He has written more than 200 articles, speaks nationally and internationally, participates in policy advocacy, works with criminal justice organizations, operates a nonprofit foundation, and uses media appearances to educate the public about wrongful convictions. For Jeffrey, public education is directly connected to changing the systems that allow wrongful convictions to happen.  “The public education as the first step towards legislative changes is what the philosophy is, which is the same reason why I speak, the same reason why I do the interviews,” Jeffrey Deskovic expresses in Episode 263 of You Are a Lawyer.Writing has also become a creative outlet for Jeffrey. He describes building an article almost like creating a piece of art, deciding what arguments to make, how to transition between them, and how to combine statistics, case examples, and his own experiences. That work allows his advocacy to reach people he may never meet, including incarcerated people who have later told him that simply knowing his story helped them continue fighting. This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

Yom Kippur is behind us, which means it's time to assess the spiritual damage, the physical damage, and whether making the fast a little too easy somehow counts as cheating. This week we also encounter a shofar performance under pressure, New York's latest high-tech nightmare, some unusually awkward international diplomacy, and one aspiring enemy of Israel who learns he may not be nearly as important as he thought. Along the way, Trump heads back to the UN, Netanyahu has words for New York, and we seriously consider whether Kiddush Club should just apply for White House press credentials! ________ ** Real kavanah begins in silence.

Joey Logano joins Corey LaJoie and Ryan “Skip” Flores fresh off his Bristol win to break down the Ryan Blaney vs. Carson Hocevar fight, revisit his own NASCAR confrontations, and explain why he wants championship No. 4 “for the haters.”The three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion opens up about the immediate regret that follows a pit-road confrontation, what he learned from run-ins with Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and Tony Stewart, and how relationships in the garage affect the way drivers race each other. Joey explains why he gave Christopher Bell a break at Bristol, how he capitalized on the late-race chaos to win, and why collecting trophies matters more to him than being liked.Then, Joey takes us inside the No. 22 team's turnaround with Paul Wolfe, the confidence swings that come with chasing a championship, and why he believes he can outsmart faster drivers. He also gives his honest take on NASCAR's championship points system, why he preferred the previous playoff format, and what matching Jeff Gordon's four titles would mean to him.Plus, embracing the boos, Corey and Joey's traffic-stop stories, Skip's Pit Boss of the Week, and racing clips and memes covering everything from a three-wheeled dirt modified to why old race cars sounded better.Where do you draw the line between hard racing and going too far?

Scott J. Sottile, a partner at the prestigious residential architecture firm Ferguson & Shamamian, joins the podcast to discuss his firm's new book, Transformations. Published by Rizzoli and written by Guy Trebay, the book highlights 15 distinct projects spanning from subtle restorations to radical rebuilds across the United States. Scott shares his deep passion for traditional architecture, which was cemented during his time studying Thomas Jefferson's historic designs at the University of Virginia. He explains how to preserve the historical integrity of an old home while ensuring it functions seamlessly for modern, multi-generational living. The Mark of Great Architecture: A successful historical renovation should look completely effortless and timeless, leaving no heavy-handed imprint of the current architect. The goal is to make it look as though the modern updates have always been there. Keep Buildings Alive: Historic buildings should not be "mothballed" or turned into untouched museums; they survive best when they remain active, useful, and adapted for contemporary life. Designing for Reality: Before renovating, homeowners must separate their aspirational lifestyle from their actual daily routine. Do not dedicate vast resources to massive entertaining spaces or chef-level kitchens if you only host twice a year and primarily order takeout. Scale and Intimacy: When dealing with large rooms, create small, intimate seating arrangements—like a pair of chairs by a fireplace or a cozy bay window—so the space feels comfortable for intimate conversations, not just a crowd of twenty-four. Finding a True Builder: Seek out a "builder" who understands the art and craft of construction, rather than just a "contractor" who pushes paperwork. Ask to tour projects they completed five to ten years ago to see how their hidden weatherproofing, finishes, and exterior technologies have actually held up against the elements. Elevating Historic Details: To achieve a historic look without an unlimited budget, focus on substantial millwork. Skip standard big-box trims and visit a local lumber yard for thicker, more shapely door casings, bases, and cornices inspired by historic pattern books. Additionally, major window manufacturers often have specific historical lines featuring traditional putty-stop profiles that add immediate gravitas. Also Mentioned: Transformations by Ferguson & Shamamian Architects. Follow on Instagram: @fergusonshamamian. Historic architecture resources: The White Pine Series, pattern books by Asher Benjamin, and the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) via the Library of Congress.

Ian Cassel, founder of MicroCapClub and author of Stock Picker, joins me for a fascinating conversation about investing, conviction and the advantages that can still exist for individuals willing to venture into the neglected corners of public markets. Ian's journey began with a $20,000 family gift that he turned into $120,000 during the dot-com bubble before promptly losing 90% of it when the bubble burst—an experience which, rather than driving him away from markets, made him determined to understand what he'd got wrong. We talk about the chance investment in XM Satellite Radio that introduced him to the power of meeting management teams face-to-face, why micro-caps offer individual investors opportunities that simply aren't available to large institutions, and the crucial difference between believing in an investment and developing genuine conviction through doing more work than everybody else. Ian also talks candidly about the things that have “chased” him throughout his life—from proving doubters wrong when he was younger to family, legacy and the growing awareness of the scarcity of time—and the lessons his mentor Skip taught him about concentration, communication and earning the attention of people from whom you want to learn. Along the way, we discuss Monster Beverage, XPEL, insider selling and some decidedly unconventional due diligence, as Ian explains why the greatest investment opportunities often look anything but obvious at the beginning—and why the beautiful long-term charts we admire afterwards conceal just how difficult those companies were to own while the story was actually unfolding.   Every episode of the Grant Williams podcast, including This Week In Doom, The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, Kaos Theory, Shifts Happen and The Hundred Year Pivot, is available to Copper and Silver Tier subscribers at my website www.Grant-Williams.com.  Copper Tier subscribers get access to all podcasts, while members of the Silver Tier get both the podcasts and my monthly newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm…
