Cracking the Billionaire Investor Mindset with William Green and Guy Spier
More than anything, it's the mindset which determines an investor's ability to achieve towering returns and long-term success.
Few are better equipped to explore the mindset of the world's greatest investors than William Green, who has interviewed, studied and befriended more than fifty of the leading global investors over the last 25 years. William authored The Great Minds of Investing (2015) and most recently "RICHER, WISER, HAPPIER: How the World's Greatest Investors Win in Markets and Life," which examines how to stack the odds in our favor so we can build lives that are truly successful and abundant. The book is already a global bestseller, has received extraordinary customer reviews on Amazon (https://amzn.to/2TzH9BC), and is currently being translated into 12 languages.
In this interactive INVESTOR WORKSHOP, William Green, Guy Spier and Matthias Knab dive into the "Habits of Mind" of remarkable Billionaire Investors and distill eight key strategies of their mental make-up which can enrich us financially, professionally and personally:
1. Cloning
2. Simplicity
3. The Art of Subtraction
4. Avoiding Standard Stupidities
5. The Willingness to Defer Gratification
6. The Willingness to Go "All In" (and knowing when)
7. Resilience
8. The Aggregation of Marginal Gains
Over the last quarter of a century, William Green has interviewed many of the world's best investors, exploring in depth the question of what qualities and insights enable them to achieve enduring success.
Green has written for many leading publications in the US and Europe, including The New Yorker, Time, Fortune, Forbes, Barron's, Fast Company, Money, Worth, Bloomberg Markets, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe Magazine, The New York Observer, The (London) Spectator, The (London) Independent Magazine, and The Economist. He has interviewed presidents and prime ministers, inventors, criminals, prize-winning authors, the CEOs of some of the world's largest companies, and countless billionaires.
While living in London, Green edited the European, Middle Eastern, and African editions of Time. Before that, he lived in Hong Kong, where he edited the Asian edition of Time during a period in which it won many awards.
Green has collaborated on several books as a ghostwriter, co-author, or editor. One of them became a #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller in 2017. He also worked closely with renowned hedge fund manager, Guy Spier, helping him to write his much-praised 2014 memoir, The Education of a Value Investor: My Transformative Quest for Wealth, Wisdom, and Enlightenment. Green also wrote and edited The Great Minds of Investing, which features short profiles of 33 renowned investors, along with stunning portraits created by Michael Brien, one of America's preeminent photographers.
Born and raised in London, Green was educated at Eton College, studied English literature at Oxford University, and received a Master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
Guy Spier is the founder of Aquamarine Capital, an investment manager which is closely modelled on the original Warren Buffett partnerships. He authored with William Green the best-selling book "The Education of a Value Investor." Guy is well known for bidding US$650,100 with Mohnish Pabrai for a charity lunch with Warren Buffett on June 25, 2008.
