It stands alone as remarkable, but those who subscribe to Colossus Review will gain access to the full conversation. This will be true in future issues, too.

Invest Like the Best Key Takeaways “My appetite for finding the best person in the world to do the thing instead of me doing it is almost infinite.” – Graham Duncan Desire wants what it wants; get in tune with your desire Leverage your comparative advantage: Most investing strategies are downstream of the simple goal of (1) making money and (2) not losing too much In investing, the goal is to make money – not be right or feed the go Navigating the Principal-Agent Dynamic: The principal should set the condition that tells the agent that it is okay to make mistakes; if the agent feels that he cannot make mistakes, then he probably won't take sufficient risks Peter Keonig on Source Dynamics: All organizational dysfunction can be traced back to disagreements about the Source; messing with the origin in any subtle way can affect the entire trajectory of the thing in ways that you wouldn't think Mastery involves “becoming source” of your own style of investing – it involves coming into your own and not playing the game as others have played it, but truly playing it in your own idiosyncratic way Traits of the best investors: (1) Decisiveness (2) Open-mindedness with a point of view Be opportunistic and flexible so that you can flow with emergent market dynamics instead of getting stuck in them Be Like Toranaga: When everybody else is losing their minds, hold – just holdFollow Your Bliss: Trust the universe that if you get in touch with the thing that you are compulsive about and love, the world will come to you Quiet Ego as a Superpower: The principal should focus on making money and be less concerned about making the idea their ownOn wandering during a wilderness period in your life: Have patience and don't overweight any one thing; don't over-index on “where you are in the system” or become too concerned with being “relevant” “My appetite for finding the best person in the world to do the thing instead of me doing it is almost infinite.” – Graham Duncan Focus on the intersection of what the world wants from you and what you actually want Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest today is Graham Duncan.

My guest today is Graham Duncan. This conversation will make you think about your life in new ways. This is a two-hour segment of a 4.5-hour interview I did with Graham last year. It stands alone as remarkable, but those who subscribe to Colossus Review will gain access to the full conversation. This will be true in future issues, too. In 2006, in his early 30s, Graham convinced Stuart Miller, CEO of home construction company Lennar, to let him manage $50 million of his family's wealth. A year later, Miller gave him the rest of his capital outside of Lennar. That investment turned into East Rock, where Graham built an incredible investing track record managing billions for a select group of families by focusing on people. Our conversation explores a wide range of topics—from what makes a great investment partnership to the power of positive feedback loops to starting a restaurant.

Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.” Genesis 12:1-4 1. 2025 - The Year of Transition Transition is your way into God's will. This is a year of transition for many of God's children. God invited Abraham into His will and plan, and to walk in it, Abraham had to depart from his current location. It is the Year of Departure—prepare to leave what you are familiar with and embrace what the Lord has for you. When you consistently miss your window of transition, a temporary season can become a permanent habitation. Transition is designed to save you from death, irrelevance, and mediocrity. God allows transitions so you can leave a place of lack and enter into His abundance. As with Elijah, the ravens and the brook were to sustain him only for a season. God's providence had moved, requiring Elijah to leave the wilderness and go to Zarephath, where a widow was divinely appointed to provide for him, and he, in turn, was to be a blessing to her. Frustration is a sign that you have overstated your season. Exit every environment where there is no divine demand for you. Arise and move out, for the Lord has something greater for you. 2. 2025 is the year God makes you His Prophetic Vessel: This is the year to discover your design and thrive in your identity. Abraham likely came from a wealthy family, but God's call wasn't about giving him a better life; it was about making his life relevant. Transition is your way into God's will. This year, embrace God's blueprint for your life. May your life reflect God and take the form He has envisioned for you. 3. 2025 is the Year of Possession: Abraham had to leave his father's house and all he had known. God called Abraham alone, and only God can call a person alone and add to their life. It was God who called Abraham, made him rich, and established him. The only requirement for Abraham's success was having God on his side. Regardless of your biological DNA, there is a divine call and mandate over your life. What God is about to do in your life surpasses any nationality. When God brought Abraham to Canaan, the land was already occupied by kings, mansions, and armies. Yet God promised it to Abraham, revealing a new kind of ownership—a divine inheritance he hadn't understood before. 2025 is the Year of Divine Ownership, the Year of Possession, and the Year of Taking Over! Nations will become your inheritance. 4. 2025 is the YEAR of your RISING: As we read in Isaiah 60:1-5 - As the Lord's return draws near, gross darkness will cover the earth. Yet, in the midst of it, the glorious bride of Christ—the Church—will shine brightly. In 2025, may the light of the Lord locate you. May Gentiles be drawn to your light and kings to the brilliance of your rising. May the abundance of the sea be turned toward you, and the wealth of the nations come to you. This is your year to rise, shine, and walk in the glory of God's purpose for your life. Take over and command the year, beloved.

Looking at business news over the past decade (including a few HBR articles), you might assume that just about every traditional company has fallen — or will soon fall — to competitors from the tech industry. But London Business School professor Julian Birkinshaw says that story of disruption and destruction is overblown. His research into Fortune 500 and Global 500 organizations shows that many industries haven't been radically remade, despite the rise of a few tech giants like Amazon and Google. Birkinshaw outlines the strategies that many incumbents, like J.P. Morgan, Disney, and Proctor & Gamble, are using to survive and thrive. He breaks down the benefits and drawbacks of four key strategies that incumbents typically use to compete with insurgents. And he explains how you can decide which strategy best fits your organization.Key episode topics include: strategy, disruptive innovation, digital transformation. HBR On Strategy curates the best case studies and conversations with the world's top business and management experts, to help you unlock new ways of doing business.

Dr. Nathan Ivey comes from the Pacific Northwest and is from a family of 10. He got his podiatry degree from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in 1999. Eventually, the lack of sun got to him and his wife, so they uprooted and moved down to New Mexico, where he has been in practice ever since. His specialty is in rearfoot and ankle reconstruction, but he is also adept at using orthotics to correct issues that would otherwise require surgery. He is a business owner who is familiar with the stresses and obstacles involved in running a practice and taking over a practice. Over the years, he has built a sense of resiliency into his entrepreneurial style—something we can all learn from. Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn 0:00 Preview - Obstacles in Taking Over a Practice 1:17 Introduction 4:44 Is There a Secret to Podiatry Growth? 8:48 How Nathan Got Started 11:50 Building Without a Guide 13:28 Nathan's Background Outside of Work 14:34 Setting Up Shop in Albuquerque 16:38 Obstacles in Taking Over a Practice 21:00 The Necessity of Resilience 23:45 Marketing Before FWM 26:10 Modernizing Marketing With FWM 30:50 Performance Improvements With FWM 33:55 Flying From Practice to Practice 36:29 Dealing With Social Anxiety 41:26 Nathan's Best Piece of Advice 42:31 Nathan's Daily Rituals 44:58 Closing Thoughts You'd be hard-pressed to find a podiatrist, or any entrepreneur for that matter, that has a story quite like Dr. Nathan Ivey's. His practice has been forged out of the trials and tribulations of moving several states away, taking over a practice, holding his own against hospitals, and actually having to fly across New Mexico to commute between two practices. His story is one of legend—and, like many legends, we can learn a lesson or two from it. This episode will explore the concepts of the ever-evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, marketing, and life in general.

Today's poem is the stuff real nightmares are made of.
