Sol Price had and idea that he was not going to let go of. No matter how many times others tried to take it away. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders podcast. Dave Young here with Stephen Semple. And Stephen, shoot, just as you hit the button, I was compiling a list because Julie and I, we've got to go pick some stuff up and you reminded me about it. Stephen Semple: Glad I can help. Dave Young: Right? We have a Google Keep list. I don't know if you use Google Keep. It's just sort of a list software that you can share with other people. And so that's where we keep our Costco list. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: And it's actually a Costco/Sam's list, but we hardly ever pick up anything from Sam's. Sam's has some things that Costco doesn't and vice versa. Anyway, we're going to talk about Costco, to try to make a short story long. Stephen Semple: I hope we still have some listeners at this point. Dave Young: Right? Come on, we're only a minute in, so I think we're okay. Stephen Semple: Here's the thing I find it's really interesting about Costco. Today, they have basically almost 900 locations. They do like 243 billion in revenue. They have over 130 million members, and they have over 300,000 employees. They have a reputation of paying and treating employees very, very well, especially for a discount outlet. But to put in perspective, they do a little bit more than half the revenue of Walmart. But Walmart has like 10,000 locations. Costco is like 900. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Think about that volume that they do. Dave Young: Do. The product turn has to be amazing. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Unbelievable. It's just mind-boggling. It's just mind-boggling. And it's really interesting to stand outside of Costco and just look at carts full of stuff. Nobody goes to Costco and buys two things, right? It's just incredible. There's some legal things that we need to talk about to really understand the history of Costco, because back in 1936, there was this Robinson-Patman Act that was passed and it prevented the discounting of goods below the manufactured list price. So when we see manufacturers list price, it used to mean something. And what it used to mean is you could not go below that price. And this was to protect manufacturers and small retailers, and you could not do large purchases at discounts. It didn't matter how much you were buying, couldn't go below that price. And in the 1960s, these laws started to change, but large retailers still resisted this idea of lowering prices, because they'd sort of gotten very used to that. Along comes Sol Price, and it's the early 1950s and he's working as a lawyer in San Diego, and he has a client in a jewelry business that's selling watches to non-profit member owned retail operation in LA called Fedco. And Fedco was a non-profit, like basically it was founded by 800 postal workers in LA, and they were leveraging the buying power to negotiate with distributors and eliminate store markups. And there was a membership fee. It was $5 for a lifetime membership for federal employees. And Sol visited Fedco and he noticed that the property was really similar to one that his mother-in-law had inherited in San Diego that sat empty. So he suggested the location to the client of his and his mother-in-law, and they agreed, and they opened under a different name instead of Fedco.

What's up everybody! It's Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly. We've got a lot of excitement this week with the FOMC numbers coming out today and we are on the verge of a shift in monetary policy flipping from restrictive to cutting rates. Sol Price: 181.84, up two dollars from last week, but we spiked above 190 and the strength that it's showing versus the market cannot be ignored. SOLETH: .05486 - up a small amount from last week.SOLBTC: .00273 up a bit, and if you look at the yearly we are testing highs on this pair. Insane when you think about it with all the momentum behind Bitcoin.SOLD - 3.61 up from 3.5Overall, Solana is looking strong from all the metrics that track as far as price goes and we are at usage levels that are just about all time high as well. Feels like Solana Summer to me.Biggest price narratives:Overall in the market it's still ETF's, elections, fed cutting rates, Solana usage and memecoins. With that said, I actually still think that Solana benefits from an Eth breakout. Whether that's just more liquidity willing to go to risk assets, people watching the SolEth chart, or even the bet on Solana getting an ETF next.Drip Haus feedback:So much love, I would like to thank each an every one of you. will try to take things from first principles more often, thanks again Reeny.Biggest news: Binance lawsuit the sec no longer calls Solana and other tokens securities.Looks like the rates have been unchanged for the Month of July with September rate cuts being priced in at 90%.Protocol wise, it doesn't seem like there have been any major releases other than the ability to short memecoins being released on Solend and Marginfi.Our NFT's remain down, hold steady and harvest some tax losses if you can.

Today's episode begins with the biggest talking points from Paris Blockchain Week, as venture capitalist Tim Draper explains why it's not too late to buy Bitcoin and where it could be headed after the halving. Austin Federa from the Solana Foundation unpacks the reasons for Solana's network congestion issues, and a research report suggests that Bitcoin miners could sell up to $5 billion worth of BTC after the halving. In other news, the Winklevoss twins became co-owners of Real Bedford alongside Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack. The pair invested $4.5 million of Bitcoin into the English football club. Lastly, Cointelegraph's investigations team published an exclusive report revealing that the cryptocurrency exchange BingX allows sanctioned Iranian users to evade restrictions.Further reading:$250K Bitcoin?

What's up everybody, this is Thomas Bahamas and we're back with another episode of Solana Weekly. Not the week I expected, with talks of the beginning of the bull last week, ETF released, and the market reacts by viciously dumping. We'll dig into why that happened and what else we have going on in these times of acceleration on Solana.Sol Price: 86.12 - with a crash down to $78SolEth: .03891 with a crash down to .035SolBTC: .002167 with a crash below .00205.Overall market sentiment: you look at this last week and we went from over $100 Solana down over 20% and think that this must be a bad trend. My friends, we must simply zoom out. The etf was in fact a sell the news event. Presidential campaign: Biden has to pump the bags in order to get re-elected or put some sort of positive spin on his political party.To the happenings of the Solana market:Paypal releasing their stablecoin on Solana. I see huge potential here, almost like a way to back into using crypto through traditional rails. Think pay with paypal, but you use their stablecoin. Use those couple hundred dollars you have sitting on Venmo to send direct to your crypto wallet. You can do that with Eth now, but I'm suspecting that you can do this with Solana soon and this could be the start of something big.Drift releasing token/ pointsJupuary madness keeps going - mock jupTensor- nft perps or something like it. Sujiko warriors also launched from the same guy that launched the solana airdrop checker.NFTs - both misunderstood and undervalued per the man himself - loomdart:Helium just launched in Mexico with a huge partnership. Is this getting to mass scale? I think so.Meme coin's aren't going anywhere, I tried to fade most but i actually just think they are going to crush now. Some of my fav are the Stanley cup, bib, Wif - the dog has a hat.Bsktfi is something I'm kind of obsessed with right now as well, Solana, Eth, BTC and the latest meme tokens of Solana all backed in one token with insane farming incentives.

What's up everybody it's Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly. It's the bull market and we are in full swing with the Crypto Undeads hyping up the NFT market and selling out a 10k pfp instantly, sol is looking great, and yes Jupiter's airdrop is on it's way at the end of the month. We've got a lot to cover and it seems like Franklin Templeton with Trillions under management have hired an intern and have taken to pumping our bags on Twitter. I'm loving it and we'll dig into all of these and see what we need to do to prep for this bull run. Sol Price - $101.78 up a small amount from last week, but not quite out of this consolidation. $140 is the short term target with not much in the way after that to $200. SOLETH - .04022 - kind of chopping here which is good, we'll see this go up more. SOLBTC .00238 - not bad, not bad at all. The BTC ETF has been massive, tons of flows, some of it out of GBTC to other ETF's but it's something like 4.5 billion dollars worth of flows and all of this will be positive for our space in general. I'm hoping this leads to my ETHE pumping more and would love to unwind that position. Crypto undead NFT drop - 20 sol, down to 11, then we go to the absolute moon? Got me all excited, can't tell if it's a rug or a moon, the drop of tombstones wasn't cool, but I'm ready and my bags are packed. Either way I think this is getting some hype to NFT's on Solana and would love to see this go to the moon. New Solana phone! I aped the 2nd Solana phone, slightly cheaper, and maybe it will be slightly easier to use. Either way seeing how the first phone went I think it financially made sense and I want to keep supporting them. Even if it flops and we don't get 10k airdropped right away, it will be a great hardware wallet. Helium- added a new line, can't get over how good this is. Mockjup dropped and Jupuary is getting me all jacked up.Bull market prep-Sleep is still necessary. Health is still incredibly important, both physical and mental.Shiny objects go up and down.You don't need to hit them all.Keep your high conviction and most your portfolio in those and keep them untouched. Set targets - whether that's sell limit orders or alerts on trading view, have a plan and execute Cobies triangle.People always buy too quick on the way up and sell too slow on the way down. Take some profits. Couple % here and there. Life changing money - take it out, most people start acting very irrationally with access to too much $ so quickly. Chart your largest holdings vs Bitcoin not usdc. Curate good news inflow and actually do research if you're going to put a good chunk into anything. Motives of people are to make money, bag shilling will be everywhere and will be tempting. Don't click links - scams will get better. Froth at the top will feel like you can't miss. You will never catch the exact pico top or bottom. Just get near it and you're doing better than most. Understand your strengths and what got you here. It likely wasn't high leveraged positions or wild meme coins, holding strong coins for a while usually does it, the rest is just distraction.All That is advice I've accumulated over the years and am hoping to take with me into battle. We have a massive opportunity on our hands and are still early. My plan is to stake and hold Sol, target is $400. Hold bonk until 10 billion mcap, probably won't make this the whole way. Increase sol holdings through other sol tokens listed on Coinbase. Hold jito, hold jup. I'm probably going to not get too deep into NFTs, or at least try not to. Maybe some presales and I'm really looking at the Kanpai Pandas as a long term play. But I hold the Quekz, Famous Foxes, and few others I have. At the end of last year my tax guru said rather than tax lost harvest, just get rid of any NFTs you don't want to hold. If you can't sell them, burn them. This kind of changed my mind about the nft game and makes me just want to hold quality and not care about flipping as much. Please do reach out to the man Cryptotaxsux on Twitter if you also are confused with the state of reporting taxes. He saved me a ton of stress and does amazing work. Other than that looks like SMB Gen 2's are downbad, hit 70 sol and sitting around 75 right now with gen 3 at 7. I had a hilarious thought that gen 3 would flip gen 2. Not going to happen, but I bet the ratio goes up from 1-10 to something like 1-5. Think about it, you get all the perks of the gen 2's and none of the downside. You don't have to vote or see the gen 2 chat, it's 1/10th the cost, the team got fired, art is better, supply got reduced from 15k -10k, and you don't have a massive investment in the hands of a group of people that are working against themselves. Let's have a good run here and get that bread. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit thomasbahamas.substack.com

I've added significantly to my lending after thinking about this.Drift - contender for coming out with something massive. Kamino is dropping their points system soon, this could be big .Samo did an airdrop to Saga holders and made a tool to airdrop holders of the Genesis NFT token.My guess is after the Jup drop we see NFT's catch a raging pump and we unfortunately see a ton more memecoins go to the moon.

What's up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly. I'm here to uncover the alpha, break down what's going on, and try to figure out where Solana is taking us. We got wars, we got taxes, and we got Breakpoint coming up. To the market:Sol Price 22.19 - fairly flat, down about a dollar. Sol Eth - .014, still fairly flat. Lot of talk out there about eth not having the narrative these days. Sol BTC - fairly flat as well, but it looking bad. We got breakpoint coming up end of the month and I'm expecting a sol pump and some sick new announcements. War - expectation of coins going down and all risk assets are rocky. NFT's and niche alt coins aren't the safe haven needed, but are still doing pretty well. But this could be the inevitable push to get the fed to start printing and we see the start of the great bull run of all assets before implosion, and it's a mess. Arthur Hayes on the Impact Theory podcast, insanely good breakdown of macro. Not into the impact theory, but when Arthur's talking, I'm listening. I heard some very similar ideas on Hidden Forces as well, and it goes into just how the bull run for crypto and most assets begins when the money printer gets turned back on. Information inflow management - I have to constantly check myself and realize who I'm taking info from. The whole NFA not financial advice thing is hilarious. Think about who you are listening to and who helps you think more clearly about markets. Don't give your fav nft influencer credit for being a macro genius and a war expert, there are a lot of people who have dedicated their lives to that. I also think it would be hilarious to pick your brain and think about why you bought something and if it was an influencer that you wouldn't take advice about anything on. Socialfi is stupid and it's a circle jerk for crypto people. Two main additions to sol with Friendzy.gg launching chat and hub3 launching. I think Friendzy has more potential for Solana because of the bonding curve not being as aggressive. On hub 3 the pricing increases significantly, like a friend tech. Solana people are cheap. Me included. Avax's friend tech competitor stars arena was hacked twice in a day and drained for 3 mill. We get reminded of the douchey founder emin gun by him saying it's not big. We should also remember he hired a law firm to sue Solana labs. Taxes: I did it, I paid Crypto Tax Made Easy to fix my taxes for the 2022 year. He brought 36k in gains down to 6k. I have the netrunner nft and used their platform but I didn't like it. So I used the website crypto tax calculator and imported my wallets and exchange transactions. It was a mess with 12k transactions and they were all labeled wrong and it scared the f out of me. I knew it was wrong with giving me huge gains on stable coin swaps and no cost basis, but I also didn't know how to fix it. The platforms aren't there. It was like $600 to import all those transactions and two g's for him to do all the work, but the peace of mind knowing that I don't have a 36k tax liability hanging over me and the potential for the irs to come after are more than worth it. I love crypto and want to keep this as a positive impact on my life so I think it was necessary. I also f'd up and sold a bunch of eth and btc on Blockfi and there is no way that those transactions aren't going to the irs. My new rule is to never do sales on exchanges. Exchanges are for stablecoins and on and off ramping only. It's free to on-ramp, the execution and swap costs are better on chain anyways, and the reported gains aren't accurate yet. So there is NO benefit for me. We need large audiences and bringing in new people. So far all it does is make a better circle jerk for us crypto peeps. This does nothing for our space but let us gamble more. Not improving anything.The whole purpose of using social media is to bring in outsiders to crypto. Think 2017 bull run and how insane twitter was. I even had people shilling lite coin on my Facebook feed. Pomp would get on the news and everyone would go crazy. The positive memes resignated and brought people and institutions in.We don't have that anymore. Twitter is filled with crypto scam accounts that Normies hate, engagement and our feeds are trash, I have to go to private chats to see the quek tweets. None of these protocols are optimizing for the right thing which is getting outsiders in. No one is paying 5k just to hear market analysis from someone that larps as a car on Twitter, no one is bridging to Avax to buy your keys because none of that fixes a problem for Normies. We need to clean up the crypto scams collectively and get out of our own little bubbles. Find a way to build on x to make things better. Use the tools they provide like community notes and reporting accounts tagging people. Other fun stuff: breakpoint is coming! I got some Quek merch, it's sick.MadLads coming with some sort of announcements. Huge update on backpack where you can easily lock your nft in your wallet. SMB gen 3 continues to go down. I am tax loss harvesting the ones I bought after mint and buying borderline grails for under 10 sol. Outlook isn't great but I need more losses to offset gains and I don't bet against the monkes. I think defi is continuing and not going anywhere. Had a dream that drift dropped a coin and became the biggest defi protocol ever. Honestly it could happen, it's that good. Yes it's got perps, but it's got Lend, borrow, earn, swaps, and everythingIs so clean. I appreciate you all tuning in and would like you all to think twice before spreading any fud, fudding is easy, finding positivity and spreading it is hard. Hard but positive.

Solana Weekly #42 - The Answer To Everything

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 13, 2023 23:43

What's up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly. This is episode number 42 and that is significant because if you have read “A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” you would know that this is actually the answer to everything. I'm here to uncover the alpha, break down what's going on, and try to figure out where Solana is taking us. Some of the highlights of the week were a pretty major crash across the market, Visa releasing their research into why they chose Solana for settlement, and NFT's are starting to show some light at the end of the tunnel. To the market:Sol Price: $18.41 and looking like it wants a little higher. We caught a major drop from 19.30 to 18 and it didn't look pretty. We saw frontrunning and massive short interest from all sides after seeing FTX amounts of SOL that could be unlocked. I think most of that was overplayed and the dumping will take place over months and it won't be a massive drop. But still the market doesn't look great and I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit $14 or $25 next week. Short term we will keep seeing volatility both ways, long term we go up. Breaking news, I just heard from my intern, assistant, and maid that we have wicked down to 18 and we need to look into buying the dip. SolEth- .01145 with a decrease of 5% on the week. Not bad considering Sol dumped before ETH did. My money is on Sol outperforming ETH throughout the year. I bridged some ETH over to SOL and placed bids with it on SOL if we do dip more. I figure it's time to up the size a bit. SolBtc - down 11% on the week. This is bad, Bitcoin performing as it should with being more of a store of value. Visa settlement on Solana and they released their analysis. This is huge because it's an independent analysis and validates all the attributes of the network that we've been talking about. They went through a ton of research on different blockchains and Solana was a clear favorite. Some of the best were the 400 ms settlement time, interesting Polygon was 20 minutes, the low cost of transactions and the fact that the transaction cost doesn't fluctuate over time, and that it's the best suited chain for payments. We like this, and Solana didn't pay for this, they chose Solana. MetaMask has support for Solana! The best wallet in crypto released a new feature called snaps. With this, it allows it to use other blockchains and integrate with other wallets. For Solana you can basically link a MetaMask with a Solflare wallet. Then you can bridge back and forth very easily. Also native btc and other chains. But this is a pretty sick development. Manage your money from MetaMask while you adventure into the wild world of Solana. Big for eth to sol adoption. How much adoption can we expect? We'll see, it's my belief that eth community already joined in and most got burnt and went back to eth. Kind of similar to bitcoiners moving to eth and losing money to scams and ico's in 2017, then calling all coins other than btc an alt coin scam.But this might give them another reason to revisit and make that journey easier. Removing the friction will always be good. Solana tanks. FTX threat of selling is looming and the timeline is miserable. NFT's and joy. Small increases in nft prices around and I'm liking it. But what I want to talk about is the NFT's that I buy that make me smile. My favorite is the SolSunsets project and I just added another. They are so well done, perfect twitter banners, and just brings me joy. These are the projects that I recommend you buy. Who cares about the chart, who cares about the roadmap and utility, the core of what you're buying is the nft. A tale of two extremes of the nft dao spectrum. Quekz - quektator, impulsive, owner, rules with iron fist, makes changes on a whim, doesn't care about governance or actually really want to interact with most holders haha. This is super appealing because I actually don't really care about the day to day either, I just want to laugh and have fun. Smb - oh boy. DAO, votes, vote proposals, weekly meetings, constant bickering, it's very tiresome. Magic Eden hinting at a token drop and people are trying to farm gems or something. Cant tell if this is a last cry of hope for them or if it will be successful. Tensor has eaten their lunch and have been public about their rewards, token drop, and their platform is a revolution. Speaking of airdrops, I got one for Alldomains, the other name service provider on Solana that hosts the .monke or .bonk addresses. Bought some more on the side because I saw it pop up on Bonkbot in Telegram, but the liquidity isn't there, I even am providing some liq, but it's not helping haha. This is a public episode.

El perrito caliente de Costco de 1,50 dólares desafía a la inflacion y no sube de precio desde 1985

Historias de la economía

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 28, 2023 8:11

En un tiempo de inflación desbocada, cuesta encontrar productos que lleven meses, años, y ya no digamos décadas, sin subir de precio. Pues eso es lo que ha hecho la cadena estadounidense Costco, que mantiene inalterable el coste de su perrito caliente, desde que lo introdujo en 1985: cuesta 1,50 dólares, incluyendo además el combo de bebida con relleno infinito.La historia de Costo se remonta al año 1983, cuando es fundada en Seattle por Jim Sinegal, un entusiasta del comercio minorista, y el abogado y empresario Jeff Brotman, que también contaba con experiencia en el sector. La peculiaridad de esta cadena de supermercados es que se trata de un club de precios, que se basa en un sistema de socios, o suscriptores, que deben pagar una cuota para poder comprar sus productos.Este concepto había nacido poco antes, inventado por el empresario Sol Price, a su vez mentor y gran valedor de Sinegal, que se dio cuenta que el sistema de ventas para mayoristas se podía adaptar al cliente final, que estaría dispuesto a pagar una cuota a cambio de poder acceder a productos a precios bajos y un amplio catálogo.El éxito de Costco fue espectacular e inmediato. Fue la primera empresa del mundo en alcanzar los 3.000 millones anuales en ventas en menos de 6 años. Sinegal, además, se caracterizaba por un sistema de dirección benévolo, siguiendo el principio de que, si los empleados reciben un buen trato, a su vez tratarán y atenderán bien a los clientes. De hecho, los trabajadores de Costco siempre han tenido condiciones de trabajo por encima de las que marca el sector en Estados Unidos.Con el fin de atraer a nuevos clientes dispuestos a pagar la cuota, introduce en 1985 comida ya preparada, para consumir en el establecimiento. Y el primer producto que ofrecieron fue un perrito caliente, y fue todo un éxito. Ofrecía un combo de un perrito caliente de cuarto de libra, con un refresco, por un precio de 1,50 dólares.Han pasado 37 años, y ese menú, inmune a cualquier evolución de precios y a la inflación, sigue costando lo mismo. Con la particularidad de que además ahora es más grande, y el refresco se puede rellenar infinitamente, o refill, como se dice ahora. Si se ajustase el precio al IPC, ahora tendría que venderse por unos 4,20 dólares.Con esta política de precios, han logrado vender cada año más de 100 millones de estos perritos calientes, superando en algunos cursos los 130 millones. Son más de los que venden, por ejemplo, todos los equipos juntos de la liga de baseball.Mucha gente cree que se trata de una estrategia para atraer clientes, ya que quien acuda a comerse uno de estos perritos estará tentado de comprar algo más ante las ofertas disponibles en el supermercado. Pensarán incluso que a Costco le merecería la pena incluso vender a pérdidas con este objetivo. Y es correcto, al menos la primera parte. Porque como confirmó en cofundador de la compañía en una entrevista en 2009, su supermercado nunca vende a pérdidas. Lo que sí han hecho es ajustar el margen de beneficio de este perrito caliente, pero aun así, con tantos millones vendidos cada año, los beneficios no son menores.Además, a diferencia de otras empresas que para no aumentar los precios de sus productos reducen su calidad, Costco ha tratado de evitar ese paso. ¿Cómo lo ha hecho? Aprovechando su tamaño para negociar. Por ejemplo, ha dejado de trabajar con proveedores que se negaban a mantener los precios bajos. Y cuando ya eran conscientes de que se trataba de uno de sus productos estrella, construyeron sus propias plantas de fabricación, primero una en Los Ángeles y luego otra en Chicago. También lograron negociar mejores condiciones para la compra de panes, ketchup o mostaza.En algún momento también cambiaron la forma de servir el refresco, como comentábamos, que al principio se servía en lata, y luego en grifo. Y en el lado más negativo y que más críticas suma entre los clientes, dejaron de ofrecer gratis condimentos como la cebolla o el chucrut.Una anécdota para entender la importancia de mantener el precio de los perritos calientes la protagonizó el propio Sinegal. En 2011 dejó la dirección ejecutiva de la compañía, pero se mantuvo como asesor hasta 2018, cuando se retiró definitivamente. Ese año, en una charla con su sucesor, su colega W. Craig Jelinek, este le propuso la idea de subir el precio de los perritos. La respuesta de Sinegal no pudo ser más contundente: "Si subes el precio del puto perrito caliente te mataré. Atrévete a averiguarlo".De esta forma, el perrito caliente se ha consolidado como el producto estrella de Costco. Tan relevante es que, hace un par de años, en pleno auge de los troleos bursátiles gestionados en foros de internet, con el caso Gamestop como el más relevante, Costco vivió un proceso similar. Una cuenta parodia difundió que el supermercado iba a subir el precio de los perritos, de 1,50 a 2,50 dólares. Como consecuencia, las acciones de la compañía se hundieron más de un 10% rápidamente.En su proceso de expansión internacional, también apuesta por la presencia del menú de los perritos calientes en sus tiendas. En el caso de España, donde cuenta con varios establecimientos, la oferta es de 1,50 euros por el perrito, aunque no incluye la bebida, que cuesta 30 céntimos más. La receta es la tradicional americana, un poco diferente de la que puede encontrarse en otros restaurantes españoles, e incluye cebolla, pimiento y pepinillos.No se puede negar que la estrategia de Costco es todo un éxito. Suma casi 120 millones de suscriptores en todo el mundo, y se ha convertido en la segunda cadena de supermercados que más vende, tras superar a Carrefour hace unos años, y tan solo por detrás de Walmart.

What's up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and you are here for another episode of Solana Weekly. Here to drop some alpha on what's going on and where we're going in this crazy space. It's been a trying week where it seems like there is just no bullish news. These are the best of times to buy, but the hardest of times to actually pull the trigger. Excited to dig into it and let's focking go. To the market:Sol Price: $21.43 with an overall decrease of 8% on the week. We don't like to see that, but we're in a recovery from dipping under $20 yesterday so I'm ecstatic about this move up haha. Whole market looked like it was tanking including Bitcoin and the doomers and bears were out in full force giving us their graphs of how low we go. Well I spent my time loading up on longs, so suck it bears. SolEth- .01278 with a small decrease of 1% and nothing meaningful to gain from this really. Everything tanked, Eth looked real bad. SolBtc - Also staying pretty flat. To the news: HNT on Drift. I got a Fock It Shirt, it's Mad, I'm wearing it now, LFG. Solana Pay on Shopify, I think this is huge and we should get a bounce for it.Sign in with Solana.Blaze airdrop has begun, and with it the bSOL token is getting something like 15% apr. Friend.Tech is taking over all of crypto and is bringing social fi back. With this we are seeing Solarplex launching on Solana and I gotta give a shout out to Solcial, kind of like a bitclout like product where people buy your token for a follow and tier 2access. These have huge potential and are fun. Solarplex is like all of Solana Twitter. NFT's still down while ducks stay up, 20 ducks for private Telegram and whales don't sell. SMB's sitting around 8 sol, think it's good value. My man Bully Esquire had a great tweet where he said with the adoption of Layer 2's on Eth why are other L1's even necessary. We need to be able to answer this question clearly and concisely, without the technical jargon and hopes and dreams of a bagholder attached to it .The answer, most aren't. What other L1's are necessary for is what can't be done on Eth L1 or L2's. The two most popular answers are DePin and Compression. DePin - Decentralized physical infrastructure is Helium, it's a mobile network incentivized through a blockchain that HAS to be as fast and cheap as Solana or it won't work. Compression - NFT's can be compressed so well on Solana that you can give an NFT to a brand new user for free. Drip.Haus does this. You don't have to pay to get the NFT. Also the core of the question is a bit flawed right. The goal for Ethereum with L2's is to scale a decentralized network which means increase both speed and decrease transaction costs for the masses. This goal is not there. This goal is what Solana is right now at this moment. So other L1's are necessary because they are brining about the new paradigm where cryptocurrencies can scale and be used for non crypto native users. Eth will never have that. Other than that I saw some bearish posts on DeFi and how it hasn't actually been that successful. We saw Balancer get compromised and the only profitable Defi players are the hackers at this point. So I'm cautiously optimistic about Sol Defi. We saw Cypher get hacked and I just don't want to deal with all the extra risk at this point. So I pulled my Margin lends. This is a public episode.

What's up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and you are here for episode number 37 of Solana Weekly. Here to drop some alpha on what's going on and where we're going. This was another crazy week with one of the leading Defi protocols on Solana getting hacked, Tensor launching their NFT project and Rollbit sending to the moon. Never a dull week and I'm looking forward to diving in. To the market:Sol Price: $24.38 with an overall increase of 5% on the week. Not a bad week with a good push in the price action starting yesterday. We saw a low of just under 22.50 and a high of almost 25, so not that much volatility and I'm hoping we continue on the upside. SolEth- .01305 with an increase of 14% on the week. Eth acting like a stablecoin these days. Doesn't dip, doesn't pump. Hearing more of their deflationary narrative and how people aren't ready for a token that burns itself, and a talks of and ETH ETF if BTC get's one through. So yea I'll take a 14% gain vs ETH. SolBtc - flat on the week. Interesting here, we're keeping pace with Bitcoin even when Eth underperforms. I'd like to call that bullish but we'll see. Gambling vs investing long talk.As we see Product Market Fit in Rollbit while I miss the pump and sit on the sidelines, we've gotta have the gambling talk. PMF in crypto has always been gambling. Gamblers are willing to take more risk on risky platforms and have likely been burned a bunch prior to their entry into crypto. This is how I got here, online poker sites weren't keeping customer funds separate from operational funds and ended up going bust and taking everyone's money. Crypto solved this. Also to get funds on was dicey. I've bought phone minutes that transferred to Party Poker, I've had random debit cards I could only withdraw so much cash on, I've received faulty checks from Asia, I've even transferred money at a Western Union in a grocery store to load up my account one time. All these were BS and bitcoin fixed all the problems. Now add in the everything casino and we have gamblers all over the place. I think that this is some of the underlying problems were seeing in the markets, and I think that SOL's unique properties highlight this much better. What does that mean? That means you can utilize basically 0 transaction fees and feed the gambler in you. Mint coming up? Max mint, dump any NFT's that aren't rare. You can do that profitably on SOL where it's too expensive to do that on Eth. The meme of listing just under floor is real because a small loss on 5 NFT's while given the chance to 10x on one or two is a gamble a lot are willing to take. So where does that leave us? With a lot of gamblers in Sol, and even Eth native people using it as gambling to get in and get out. Where Eth has more of a forced investment due to fees. I don't know how we get out of that, but it is and will always be an important narrative with crypto. Rollbit moving to Eth seems like it's bringing in more people to the table and this thing is going uponly. With that in mind I think it's important to try to figure out investments that aren't a gamble. Minting most NFT's are a gamble, but if it's from a top project in the space? Might be out of the gambling range. We need to look at tokens and nft's that will increase value based on usage of protocol's. I think we get out of the gambling range and move to investing to make continued gains. Buying and holding good projects has always been the way to make money. Take some swings, size appropriately, and put a long time frame on it. With willingness to add to the position. DCAing is a solid meme because it typically works. I like a good gamble as much as the next person, but my expectation isn't that I'll get rich off it, that's where investing comes in. Cypher hacked to the tune of 1 million. Devastating blow to Solana defi, but powering through. Tensorians - launched and crushing. I imagine this goes up only, it's the flagship product of the flagship nft marketplace on the chain with the most nft activity. Feels like a smooth brain play.

What's up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and you are here for episode number 31 of Solana Weekly. Here to drop some alpha on what's going on and where we're going. We have kind of flattened out as far as price action goes, but we've got some NFT action going on. I spent my morning trying to mint Gen 3 SMB's and failing. I'm going back after it a little later today and I'm all jacked up. Sol Price: $16.18 - down from 16.91 and about 4%. Overall I'm okay with it We didn't fill the gap to 23, but we also didn't dip from massive amounts of Robinhood dumping. They had millions of Sol and were to dump it, we remain unaffected. The outlook on sol long term is real good and the value prop has never been clearer. The price is still not reflecting it. I'm okay with it. Sol Eth down 4% to .00877 and Eth continues to hold strong. We just can't catch a break against our friendly foes in the Eth community. I can't mention Eth without bringing up the Azuki fiasco. One of the top NFT's in their community, they dropped a gen 2 and raised 40 mill off of it. The kicker, it's almost the exact same art. The second kicker, there are a bunch of twins in the set. Disaster, but also highlights what's only possible on Eth, 40 million raised in minutes. So much money there it's crazy. Think of this when people start realizing the benefits of Solana. Sol BTC - continues to bleed on this. Saw a comparison of solbtc to eth btc, back when Eth almost died, it hit something like -97% vs btc, we're at like -95%, if history rhymes, we could almost be at bottom. Gen 3 baby! The SMB mint to unlock the IP and take over the world. Two main topics Lending - both nft lending and centralized lending Investable digital assets vs usable digital assets Merkle tree - is a cryptographic hash that is used to verify the integrity of a set of data. In the context of Solana NFTs, a Merkle root is used to create a compressed NFT.A compressed NFT is an NFT that stores its metadata within the ledger, rather than in a separate account. This reduces the storage cost of NFTs, while still maintaining their security and speed.Another thought I had is that im going to embrace web 3. I've been pretty pro crypto over web 3 because it's what the og's use but I'm over it. The web 2 guys coming in seemed to coin this term and it got super cringe, but I think it's actually really good. Much better connotation than crypto. I hear crypto I think super shadowy coders in their parents basement. I hear web 3 and I think NFT's and defi and fun ways to rework the way we view assets and the internet. This is a public episode.

Solana Weekly # 29 - The Dip That Keeps Dipping

What's up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and you are here for episode number 29 of Solana Weekly. Here to drop some alpha on what's going on and where we're going. I apologize for the terrible audio last week, let's see how much better this one is. I think the theme of this week is FUD! With the timeline down bad and the vibes even more down bad, the SEC calling Sol a security, bags being dumped, we've achieved max fud. I think it's a good time to take a look at our convictions, and then make sure that our risk profile is in line with how we think things will play out. Sol Price: $14.95 - down a total of 27% from 20.68, we're down bad. We took a hit and it's a direct response from the SEC actions. Whether it's big firms not willing to hold riskier assets, or market makers not willing to stay in the market, we had a massive sell off across major alts. I believe $5 billion of value was wiped in a few hours. The majority were the assets labelled securities in the Coinbase and Binance lawsuits which makes sense. .sol Eth: From .01107 down to .00859 which is down 22.39%. We are seeing Eth move from an alt coin to a major. It will likely not be called a security and this should have positive effects across the board, but we are seeing why that is important. It held it's value really well, while we see the dip. There is more upside with Solana, but there is more risk and we see that on the downside. Sol BTC: .0005755 down a total of 24.58% and is not great. Will this chart ever turn around? I don't know, I keep calling for it, but we continue to go down. My guess is BTC might actually have a pump before Sol, so it might be a good time to have a bag. I don't like it, but it might be the way. From last week we continue to see the SEC and Binance and Coinbase fight publicly. The difference that I'm hearing is that Coinbase is in a much stronger position. They will likely have some large fines to pay and will continue to operate. They also continue to have the tokens deemed securities listed on their exchange. While Binance has much more serious allegations against it, from comingling funds to supporting terrorist funds, they have a bigger fight on their hands and they will be shutting their doors to the US. Flight to BTC - many projects up and leaving Sol for BTC, I think it's dumb. The experience is so terrible that it might feel fun at first, but it's really not. XRP - The Ripple case is upon us and everyone seems to think it is one of the last things that can save us. They released some Hinman files, and all it appears to have is discussion on how ETH wasn't deemed a security a few years ago. Everyone wants an easy solution out of this, and I just don't think there is one. Ripple is literally the worst example of a cryptocurrency and rallying behind it feels like a sham. It's basically a token that allowed the founders to dump it on retail and take billions off the table from it. They have bot army's, and have a warchest from dumping on retails for as long as they've been around. Their use case: settlement of funds. EVERY crytpocurrency does this! It's bagholders that got rekt and are hoping for a way out. The absolute worse case scenario for Solana is turning into bagholders without any real use cases. It is my opinion that we're building so many use cases right now this will never happen, but still. There is a bill to fire Gensler, and I'm all for it, I wouldn't bet on it passing though. Sol Beach bum with another banger thread on value accrual:https://twitter.com/solbeachbum/status/1668600382547718146?s=46&t=uc83EyjkPaOcRgJ63RUtbgIt's funny, because you can take the value prop of any big crypto, Ethereum in this example, and play that out with Sol. The value proposition of Ethereum isn't unique, it can apply to much more, and a more useful chain could get more value out of it using their own models for appraising value. CPI came it at 4%, under expectations which is great, and the stock market got a rally. Crypto did not. Overall the outlook really isn't great for the short term. It's time to prep for the worst, but position yourself to take advantage of mismatches you see in the market. While the price of Sol has dipped, NFT prices haven't shifted at all. If you have stables around, you can buy into blue chips for a 30% + discount. I didn't even really bring up NFT's because it's not where my mind is at, their value is tied to the value of Solana. I'm still convinced that we see Solana go higher and now is the time that our conviction gets tested. Solana is for the users and is the only blockchain you can actually use right now at a reasonable price and speed. Stay safe out there and let's stack some cheap coins while we can. Think long term, leverage isn't needed, but conviction is. This is a public episode.

Solana Weekly #28 - This is Fine

What's up everybody! This is Thomas Bahamas and you are here for episode number 28 of Solana Weekly. Here to drop some alpha on what's going on and where we're going. I think the theme of this week is holy s**t, the SEC is coming for crypto. Full force attack with them bringing up charges against Binance and then Coinbase. It's time to be careful with your coins folks and we will plan on digging into this more. Let's move to Solana and check out the volatility: Sol Price: 20.23 - down a total of 2% from 20.68, and it's all over the place, so much volatility I can't even get the price right because it keeps changing. We're getting hit with the FUD from all angles, with the SEC calling SOL a security, and now we got Jim Cramer calling it a counterfeit coin. We stay bullish long term, but it's all over the place right now. Breaking: had to delay this because Sol dipped almost two dollars to $18.50 while I was trying to record and had to hit that long button. Pls recover, looks like it's starting to and we're back at 19. Sol Eth: .01039 down from .01107 which is down 6%. Was listening to DonAlt give a breakdown and he is basically saying all you need is Eth, it's the only coin showing strength in the market and looks good vs BTC. If you look at the chart it has held up well and as we see Sol couldn't hold on as well. Sol BTC: .0007253, down from .0007631 down a total of 5%. Overall the markets tanked and recovered pretty quickly. The news cycle lasted super quick as usual and rather than let the lawsuits get in the way we saw Coinbase go on the offense start tweeting their side of the story out. I'm not sure that was what did it or if people just saw a dip and went for it, but I'm glad we recovered and the volatility is back. Kind of feels like it's just hanging on and people are degening. Let's get into the news of the day. Seems like the entire Solana twitter ecosystem including me is shadowbanned, so that's interesting. The turtles were doing some new launch and the whole contract was compromised, and turtles were on the loose! I think it's under control now, but gotta be careful out there. Zero monke business continues to moon, around 30 sol now, the Bitcoin ordinal project he did is over 4 Bitcoin, so it is still free. Crazy to see the price differences haha. It also appears that Bern and Token 22 was integrated into Jupiter and we got a +90% wick from it. That other exchange Fluxbeam was bad and no one wanted to use it. The SEC started off with a Binance lawsuit on Monday, and yesterday even went as far as to seek a temporary restraining order to freeze Binance US assets. Kind of insane they are going this far. With this enforcement action we are seeing a run on the bank on their exchange. Only problem is that as a crypto exchange they hold all the reserves and are doing just fine.The core of what they are going after is that they were accused of running an unregistered exchange, unregistered broker dealer, and settlement of those assets. Of course they included Solana in this which we are not happy about, as well as ADA, Matic, FIL, SAN, AXS, CHZ, FLOW, ICP, NEAR, VGX, DASH, NEXO. My favorite part of this is that in 2018 they had a Binance employee say we are running a fking unlicenced securities exchange in the USA bro. Upon further reflection of this it was taken out of context and the compliance officer was actually making a joke and pretending to give an opinion of the SEC. It's interesting to see the way that the SEC is approaching this because they aren't just enforcing this in the courts, they are making their case in public with the court of public opinion. Is it the last ditch effort to get people while FTX and all the other class of 2022 scams are fresh on everyone's minds? Probably. Next day they go after Coinbase. The same type of charges and also bringing up their staking program. They also call Solana a security as well as other tokens. Notably both of these avoid Eth. Overall take: We kind of knew this was coming, but damn. It's pretty intense. My first reaction was that this is bs and the SEC is overstepping, which it sounds like they are, but also there seems to be serious problems with Binance and there were no real differences between us and .com and they were actively allowing us residents on their platform and trading against them. I'm glad the coins came back and we're pumping, but it almost seems like an all out war on crypto at this point. Coinbase has been the most compliant company in Crypto for years and often times made a lot less money because of it. So if they go down there is no real hope for crypto. They are standing up and taking the fight back to them and it at least appears as if they have a good case and we can get some sort of regulatory clarity out of it. It's hard to comply with rules that aren't clear and Coinbase has been toeing that line since it started. I have a soft spot for Coinbase because it was one of the only options in 2016 when I was just learning about crypto, and also I'm a huge fan of Brian Armstrong. We need America to allow innovation in business and to just shut down a massive growth opportunity seems like a losing bet. I think we're seeing the tide shift in the public, we have two presidential candidates that have actively stated they are pro crypto and anti CBDC. The current administration stands for so many things that are just against what we need that there its not going to sustain. I think this isn't the end of the fud, it always seems like it's over at the bottom and lets just hope that's where we are at. I still think the political climate will end up being extremely bullish leading into the election year. The current administration must print money to make the economy look better to try to win the next election, while that's just going to be kindling to the fire on the opposition. With that I'd like to say we keep our eyes on the prize and add to the long term stack. Get your coins off exchanges and self custody them. I think the bullish side of this is that there are solutions popping up that do just that. I had a call with Ottr Finance and they solve for this. They are a self custodied Solana wallet at the core, but have so much more packed in it, it's like the coolest version of Venmo. They offer an on and off ramp to your bank account. They offer staking, buying different tokens, sending money p2p, sending crypto as a gift a lot like tiplink, you can have money deposited through direct deposit from your work (benefit here is it shows up quicker in your Ottr acct than bank account and you don't have a crypto buying history in your main bank acct.)Y axis podcast is live, the man, the myth Tristan is back from a podcast hiatus and interviewed Armani for a banger of a comeback. Forgot how good he was at this. He released it onto twitter as a video and that seems to be the new platform for podcasts after Tucker Carlson released his first episode of Tucker on Twitter with over 30 million views instantly. Lastly I'm going to finish with a crypto concept I just heard and haven't heard in a while. Triple entry accounting. Cryptocurrencies employ this system through their underlying blockchain technology. Every transaction on the blockchain involves an exchange between two parties (the double-entry) and is then confirmed and sealed into the blockchain, providing a non-disputable and transparent record (the triple-entry).So essentially the block explorers that we all use like solscan, solanafm and etherscan are actually a crucial piece of infrastructure that show the competitive advantage of a crypto transaction vs a fiat transaction. Don't believe me, you can look on Venmo at your dumb friends that publish their transactions in the feed and you'll see a couple of their transactions. If you know their wallet address, you could see every single transaction back to when that account was created. This is a type of transparency that it unseen and is what protects us. None of this government protection has anywhere near as much protection as the block explorers do. All we need to do is use them, we just need to get everyone flipping jpegs to understand that's just an entry to this beautiful web 3 we are building. That's it for this week, thank you for joining and hope to see you and some friends next week. This is a public episode.

Put simply, the cost to deal with 4,500 items is a lot less than the cost to deal with 50,000 items.[50:21] The operating efficiencies of the warehouse concept and the direct delivery of products from the suppliers to Price Club made it possible to sell merchandise for less.[55:00] Costco and Sam's were expanding aggressively while Price Club remained tentative.[1:03:30] Sol was a poster child for the American dream. His immigrant parents were born in a small Russian village. Sol was the first in his family to graduate college. He earned a law degree.

Solana Weekly: #17 - Bumpy Ride Through The FUD

Welcome, welcome to the 17th edition of Solana Weekly, this is Thomas Bahamas and as always, thanks for joining. Solana price: $18.85 - Hitting a low of $16.13 and a high of 22, we're seeing some volatility! Right now it seems to be in a bad way lets hope we can turn this around. Sol/Eth: Sitting at .01157 - tanking a little. We'll see how Eth holds up with the Shanghai upgrade. Bob Loukas calling for 30k Eth, so I'm ready for the supercycle.BTC: Catching a bid, sitting at 24k, I'm adding in SOL BTC at .000778 because it's leading the charge now and I'll dig into why. Primary news: So much. Silicon Valley Bank goes under, starting Friday morning while holding 3.3 billion of Circle's treasury. The problem with that is our trusted boomer stablecoin USDC was depegged and got down to $.90 because of it. Panic in the streets. They ended up bailing out all depositors and the peg is back. I wasn't even watching the price of Sol dipping because I was watching my stables slowly die. Bitcoin on a tear ever since. value prop has never been higher. I'm long.The banking system is showing its cracks and our current financial system is being challenged. It's not going down, but it's going to open the door for crypto. Crypto is just better at a lot of things. Regulators - coming for crypto, on ramps and off ramps are what they can control. Get on chain and they can't. This is backlash from SBF making them look like a joke, he exposed their vulnerability of greed and did it with a full on ponzu scheme. CPI print came in as expected on 3/14 and we're looking to go up for a while, it seems like Sol Price is moving with BTC and ETH. Big mints - Papu, and B******s today, with Wolf Capital coming at you tomorrow. NFT LA coming up next week, hoping for big news. Expecting big news from Clayno's, Degen Trash Pandas, MonkeDao always puts on a sick show, bonk hosting an axe throwing party. I shilled Degen Trash Panda's and swept a few, think they are a play. Bonk is so f ing back. Small shill for Crypto Duck Punks. Holding onto support here and I'm hoping we can see us push through some highs. This is a public episode.

What I learned from reading All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There: Buffett & Munger – A Study in Simplicity and Uncommon, Common Sense by Peter Bevelin. 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 listen to episode Mitch Lasky—The Business of GamingFollow the podcast Gamecraft to learn more about the history of the video game industry. ----[2:01] Buffett and Munger have a remarkable ability to eliminate folly, simplify things, boil down issues to their essence, get right to the point, and focus on simple and timeless truths.[3:00] The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness by Naval Ravikant and Eric Jorgenson. (Founders #191)[4:00] Warren Buffet or Charlie Munger are the very wise grandfather figure that I never had.[5:00] To try to live your life totally free of mistakes is a life of inaction. —Warren Buffett[5:00] The sign above the players' entrance to the field at Notre Dame reads ´Play Like a Champion Today.' I sometimes joke that the sign at Nebraska reads 'Remember Your Helmet.' Charlie and I are 'Remember Your Helmet' kind of guys.' We like to keep it simple. (You must structure your life and business to be able to survive the inevitable bad decisions you're going to make.)[5:00] Wisdom is prevention. —Charlie Munger[6:00] We make actual decisions very rapidly, but that's because we've spent so much time preparing ourselves by quietly sitting and reading and thinking. —Charlie Munger[7:00] If you get into the mental habit of relating what you're reading to the basic underlying ideas being demonstrated, you gradually accumulate some wisdom. —Charlie Munger[7:00] At Berkshire, we don't have any meetings or committees, and I can think of no better way to become more intelligent than sit down and read. I hate meetings, frankly. I have created something that I enjoy: I happen to enjoy reading a lot, and I happen to enjoy thinking about things. —Warren Buffett[7:00] We both hate to have too many forward commitments in our schedules. We both insist on a lot of time being available to just sit and think. —Charlie Munger[8:00] I need eight hours of sleep. I think better. I have more energy. My mood is better. And think about it: As a senior executive, what do you really get paid to do? You get paid to make a small number of high-quality decisions. — Invent and Wander: The Collected Writings of Jeff Bezos, With an Introduction by Walter Isaacson. (Founders #155)[9:00] I think people that multitask pay a huge price. When you multitask so much, you don't have time to think about anything deeply. You're giving the world an advantage you shouldn't do. Practically everybody is drifting into that mistake. I did not succeed in life by intelligence. I succeeded because I have a long attention span. —Charlie Munger[9:00] Jony Ive on Steve Jobs: Steve was the most remarkably focused person I've ever met. (Video)[11:00] It is just that simple. We've had enough good sense when something was working well, keep doing it. The fundamental algorithm of life: repeat what works. —Charlie Munger[13:00] ALL THE BUFFETT AND MUNGER EPISODES:Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders 1965-2018 by Warren Buffett. (Founders #88) The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder. (Founders #100)The Tao of Warren Buffett by Mary Buffett & David Clark. (Founders #101) Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein. (Founders #182) A Few Lessons for Investors and Managers From Warren Buffett by Warren Buffett and Peter Bevelin. (Founders #202) The Essays of Warren Buffett by Warren Buffett and Lawrence Cunningham. (Founders #227) Tao of Charlie Munger by David Clark (Founders #78) Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor by Tren Griffin. (Founders #79) Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger. (Founders #90) Damn Right: Behind the Scenes with Berkshire Hathaway Billionaire Charlie Munger by Janet Lowe. (Founders #221) [14:00] Buffett: It's an inversion process. Start out with failure, and then engineer its removal.[15:00] Munger: I figure out what I don't like instead of figuring out what I like in order to get what I like.[15:00] Repetition is the mother of learning.[17:00] Munger: You can see the results of not learning from others' mistakes by simply looking about you. How little originality there is in the common disasters of mankind. (Business failures through repetition of obvious mistakes made by predecessors and so on.)[18:00] Munger: History allows you to keep things in perspective.[18:00] Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.[19:00] Berkshire was a small business at one time. It just takes time. It is the nature of compound interest. You cannot build it in one day or one week.[20:00] Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, “Make me feel important.”[22:00] Buffett: In almost 60 years of investing we found it practically useless to give advice to anyone.[23:00] Munger: One of my favorite stories is about the little boy in Texas. The teacher asked the class, If there are nine sheep in the pen and one jumps out, how many are left? And everybody got the answer right except this little boy, who said, None of them are left. And the teacher said, You don't understand arithmetic. And he said No, teacher. You don't understand sheep.[25:00] Quite often Henry simply talked about his philosophy of running a corporation and the various financial strategies that he came up with as he sat in his corner office each day, often working at his Apple computer. He was a brilliant business strategist, just as he was a brilliant chess strategist and he came up with many creative ideas, ideas that were sometimes contrary to the currently accepted methods of managing a large corporation that prevailed in those days.“He always tries to work out the best moves," Shannon said, "and maybe he doesn't like to talk too much, because when you are playing a game you don't tell anyone else what your strategy is." — Distant Force: A Memoir of the Teledyne Corporation and the Man Who Created It by Dr. George Roberts. (Founders #110)[28:00] Buffett: The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say no to almost everything.[29:00] If you want to know whether you are destined to be a success or a failure in life, you can easily find out. The test is simple and it is infallible: Are you able to save money? If not, drop out. You will lose. You may think not, but you will lose as sure as you live. The seed of success is not in you. — James J. Hill: Empire Builder of the Northwest by Michael P. Malone. (Founders #96)[31:00] Buffett: Life tends to snap you at your weakest link.[35:00] Sol Price: Retail Revolutionary & Social Innovator by Robert E. Price (Founders #107)[38:00] Paul Graham's essays (Founders #275-277)[39:00] I'm very suspect of the person who is very good at one business, who starts thinking they should tell the world how to behave on everything. —Warren Buffett[42:00] The Essays of Warren Buffett by Warren Buffett and Lawrence Cunningham. (Founders #227)[44:00] This life isn't a greenroom for something else. He went for it. —Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography by Laurie Woolever.[44:00] Buffett: We're here on the earth only one time so you ought to be doing something that you enjoy as you go along and you can be enthusiastic about.[48:00] Personal History by Katherine Graham. (Founders #152)[49:00] The problem is not getting rich, it is staying sane. —Charlie Munger[54:00] Learning is not memorizing information. Learning is changing your behavior. Most people can't learn from the experiences of other people: Charlie and I don't expect to win you over to our way of thinking—we've observed enough human behavior to know the futility of that, but we do want you to be aware of our personal calculus.[57:00] We are individual opportunity driven. Our acquisition technique at Berkshire is simplicity itself: We answer the phone.[1:00:00] A brand is a promise. —Warren Buffett[1:01:00] Obsess over customers. Buffett said this about Amazon in 2012: Amazon could affect a lot of businesses who don't think they will be affected. For Amazon, it is very hard to find unhappy customers. A business that has millions and millions of happy customers can introduce them to new items, it will be a powerhouse and could affect a lot of businesses.[1:03:00] Munger: We should make a list of everything that irritates a customer, and then we should eliminate those defects one by one.[1:04:00] Most companies, when they get rich, get sloppy.[1:05:00] Munger: One of the models in my head is the 'Northern Pike Model. You have a lake full of trout. But if you throw in a few northern pike, pretty soon there aren't many trout left but a lot of northern pike. Wal-Mart in its early days was the northern pike. It figured out how the customer could be better served and just galloped through the world like Genghis Kahn.[1:09:00] Practice! Michael Jordan: The Life by Roland Lazenby. (Founders #212)[1:10:00] Market forecasters will fill your ear, but they will never fill your wallet.[1:11:00] We don't have any new tricks. We just know the old tricks better.----Subscribe to listen to Founders Premium — Subscribers can ask me questions directly which I will answer in Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

What I learned from reading Showboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant by Roland Lazenby. Support Founders' sponsors: Tiny: The easiest way to sell your business. Quick and straightforward exits for Founders. andCapital: Raise, hold, and spend capital all in one place. and Tegus is a search engine for business knowledge that's used by founders, investors, and executives. Try it for free by visiting Tegus.[9:15] Notes from The Redeem Team documentary:30 seconds into the first practice Kobe is diving for loose balls. That set the tone.Players go clubbing. Come back at 5:30am and see Kobe working out. "This motherfucker Kobe was already drenched in sweat. Yeah he's different"— LeBron James. By the end of the week the whole team was on Kobe's schedule.Understand the responsibility. I know I'm not going to fucking lose. I am not going to fucking lose. Not when I'm wearing this (team USA jersey) and not at this time in my career. You're going to have to fucking shoot me. That's how I want you to play. — Coach KAt one point you will have a grandkid on your lap and they will ask you weren't you in the Olympics ? What did you do? You wanna say: Well son, we lost to that fucking Greek team? —Coach KWhen you're in the Olympic village you're around people who are the best in the world at what they do. That is more special that celebrities in LA because this is athlete to athlete — I understand what they put their body through to get here. There's so much respect and mutual admiration. —KobeWhat Kobe told team USA going into the 4th quarter: Just think about the play in front of you.[12:07] At every turn his declarations of future greatness have been met with head shaking and raised eyebrows.[14:33] It's almost like Kobe's insane level of dedication was like compensation for the bad decision making of his father.[15:15] 4 parts to Kobe's blueprint:Master the fundamentalsImprove your weaknessesStudy the greatsConcentrate[15:12] Listening to Founders is like watching game tape of history's greatest entrepreneurs.[15:40] I used to watch their moves and then I'd add them to my game. It was the beginning of a career-long focus on studying game recordings.[15:48] He would invest long hours each day in breaking down his own performances and those of opponents— far more than what any other NBA player would ever contemplate undertaking.[17:08] Jay Z' autobiography: Decoded by Jay Z. (Founders #238)[21:22] If you're not good, Jeff will chew you up and spit you out. And if you're good, he will jump on your back and ride you into the ground. —The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone. (Founders #179)[21:58] If you're breaking down tape of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan and so many other greats, you come to consider them your teachers.[22:39] Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike by Phil Knight. (Founders #186)[23:00] Jordan and Knight certainly shared a competitive nature that bordered on insanity, Moore added. "If you think Jordan and Kobe are competitive, go meet Phil Knight. He's a no bullshit competitor. It's, 'You play for me or I can't stand you, I will kill you.' That's Phil Knight, full stop. And he's not shy about it.”[29:30] He studied the game harder than anyone else has ever studied the game.[30:00] One day just before practice, the team was informed that it couldn't have the gym due to flooding.“This is bullshit!” he screamed, slamming a ball off the floor. “This is bullshit! We got practice, I want to practice. This is ridiculous!" (He was in high school)[31:10] Kobe had a closet at home filled with critical research. It held all these VHS tapes of Michael's games. [32:00] Kobe on Michael Jordan: What you get from me— is from him. I don't get five championships without him because he guided me so much and gave me so much great advice.[32:22] Sol Price: Retail Revolutionary & Social Innovator by Robert E. Price. (Founders #107)[35:22] Bryant's workout had been so impressive that for Jerry West, it had revealed his heart. It was there in the skill set alone, in some ways, just the amount of work that a player would have to have done to possess such immaculate moves, the footwork and fakes and execution, the hours that must have been put into that kind of perfection.[37:55] Part of his strategy for keeping his disappointment at bay was to focus on others who had faced far more difficult circumstances. "I read the autobiography of Jackie Robinson," Bryant said. “I was thinking about all the hard times I'd go through this year, and that it'd never compare to what he went through. That just kind of helped put things in perspective."[38:50] Kobe's favorite book was Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. [39:00] The only way he could keep the whole dream going was to work harder and harder and harder, to spin his fantasies around and around until they wrapped him tight in a new reality.[39:45] Estée Lauder: A Success Storyby Estée Lauder. (Founders #217)[41:00] I think that game was vital to how good he became. That level of embarrassment to happen to somebody like him? The next year he came out like a fucking maniac.[41:15] Leading By Design: The Ikea Story by Bertil Torekull. (Founders #104)[46:03] Michael Jordan: The Life by Roland Lazenby. (Founders #212)[47:00] The best book on the emotional toll entrepreneurs experience: Against The Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #200)[54:15] Highly competitive personalities like Jordan and Bryant could absolutely kill a team atmosphere with displays of ruthlessness or selfishness.[55:22] He stands up, points around the room and says, You motherfuckers don't belong in the same court with me.You're all shit. And he walked out of the locker room.[56:07] 4 ideas from Kobe:Search for your limitsExtreme personal practiceResourcefullness—find a way.Study the greats[57:39] He was one of the rare few who simply cared far more about the game than anyone else.[1:02:24] The Mamba Mentality: How I Play by Kobe Bryant [1:02:53] Why Warren Buffett reads annual reports brought to you by Tegus[1:09:03] Steve Jobs on why marketing is about values brought to you by Capital[1:13:36] Warren Buffett masterclass on how to differentiate your product brought to you by Tiny—“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

What I learned from rereading Sam Walton: Made In America by Sam Walton.Subscribe to listen to the rest of this episode and gain access to 242 full length episodes.WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING:“Without a doubt, the highest value-to-cost ratio I've taken advantage of in the last year is the Founders podcast premium feed. Tap into eons of knowledge and experiences, condensed into digestible portions. Highly, highly recommend. “Uniquely outstanding. No fluff and all substance. David does an outstanding job summarizing these biographies and hones in on the elements that make his subjects so unique among entrepreneurs. I particularly enjoy that he focuses on both the founder's positive and negative characteristics as a way of highlighting things to mimic and avoid.”“I just paid for my first premium podcast subscription for Founders podcast. Learning from those who came before us is one of the highest value ways to invest time. David does his homework and exponentially improves my efficiency by focusing on the most valuable lessons.”“I haven't found a better return on my time and money than your podcast for inspiration and time-tested wisdom to help me on my journey.“I've now listened to every episode. From this knowledge I've doubled my business to $500k a year. Love your passion and recommend your podcast to everyone.”“Founders is the only podcast I pay for and it's worth 100x the cost.”“I have listened to many podcasts on entrepreneurship (HIBT, Masters of Scale, etc.) and find Founders to be consistently more helpful than any other entrepreneurship podcast. David is a craftsperson, he carefully reads biographies of founders, distills the most important anecdotes and themes from their life, and draws commonalities across lives. David's focus is rightfully not on teaching you a formula to succeed but on constantly pushing you to think different.”“I highly highly recommend this podcast. Holy cow. I've been binge listening to these and you start to see patterns across all these incredible humans.”Listening to your podcast has changed my life and that is not a statement I make often.“After one episode I quickly joined the Misfit feed. Love the insight and thoughts shared along the way. David loves what he does and it shines through on the podcast. Definitely my go-to podcast now.”“It is worth every penny. I cannot put into words how fantastic this podcast is. Just stop reading this and get the full access.”“Personally it's one of my top 3 favorite podcasts. If you're into business and startups and technology, this is for you. David covers good books and I've come to really appreciate his perspective. Can't say enough good things.”“I quickly subscribed and it's honestly been the best money I've spent all year. It has inspired me to read biographies. Highly recommend.”“This is the most inspirational and best business podcast out there. David has inspired me to focus on biographies rather than general business books. I'm addicted.”“Anyone interested in business must find the time to listen to each any every Founders podcast. A high return on investment will be a virtual certainty. Subscribe and start listening as soon as possible.”“David saves you hundreds of hours by summarizing bios of legendary business founders and providing valuable insight on what makes an individual successful. He has introduced me to many founders I would have never known existed.”“The podcasts offer spectacular lessons on life, human nature and business achievement. David's enthusiasm and personal thoughts bring me joy. My journey has been enhanced by his efforts.”"Founders is the best self investment that I've made in years."Sign up to listen to the rest of this episode and get access to every full episode.

Howard Speaks: Dentists could learn a lot from Costco

Dentists could learn a lot from Sol Price (1916-2009), the founder of Price Club in 1963, which became Costco, which pioneered the membership, absolute pricing authority, warehouse store retail model. The membership model is currently one of the hottest trends in retail. A store that tries to be all things to all people will end up being nothing to anyone. A retailer reflecting honesty, credibility, and a definite direction that can be understood by its customers and vendors will have a good chance to make it. Costco's 3 Business Categories: Personnel, Product & Facilities. Costco's 6 rules: Have the right kind, in the right place, at the right time, in the right quantity, in the right condition, at the right price. Costco counts on very significant productivity because they pay high wages and benefits. If you buy into the concept that Costco is the low-cost provider of goods and services and also pay the highest wages in retail and have the richest benefit plan, then we must be getting better productivity, because of every dollar that we spend on our business, $0.70 is on people. There's a categorically false notion that the only business model in the service industry is the minimum-wage business model. Costco people work for years making great money plus health benefits. 87 million people have a Costco card because they have absolute pricing authority meaning if you see it at Costco, you're sure it's the best price you can find. Advertising is cost. The only secret to lower prices ins lower cost. So, if you spend 1-3% on advertising, you'll raise your cost which will raise your prices. Advertising is like heroin, once you start doing it, it is very hard to stop. Word of mouth is the lowest cost most effective type of advertising. Costco saves 2% a year in costs by not advertising. In 2017 Amazon spent $6.3 billion in advertising, Target $1.4 billion, Walmart $2.9 billion. The average markup at Costco is just 11%, Walmart is 24%, Supermarkets 30%, Home Depot and Lowe's 35%.
