RWH073: Unstoppable w/ Sir Michael Moritz

You're listening to TIP. Hi there. It's wonderful to see you again on the richer, wiser, happier podcast. Our guest today is one of the most successful investors of all time, a legendary venture capitalist named sir Michael Moritz, whose net worth is estimated by Forbes at more than $7,000,000,000 As you'll hear, he and his colleagues at Sequoia Capital racked up astonishing returns by investing very early in businesses like Nvidia, Google, YouTube, Airbnb, PayPal, Stripe, and LinkedIn. Moritz was incredibly farsighted in identifying some of the most successful corporate founders of all time, but he also had another secret: the patience to hold on to his winning investments and never sell. Charlie Munger once told me that this temperamental advantage helped to explain why Moritz outperformed pretty much all of his peers. But before we get to my conversation with Michael Moritz, I also wanted to mention quickly that I still have several open spaces in my richer, wiser, happier masterclass, which begins in December. This is an opportunity to study with me over the course of a year in a very small, intimate group that's likely to be somewhere between ten and twenty people. We'll meet once a month over Zoom, and we'll also get together in person at a couple of unique events. The aim is to create a year long journey of exploration to help you move toward a life that is truly richer, wiser, and happier. We'll talk in-depth about how we can actually apply in our own lives, the lessons I've learned from great investors like sir John Templeton, Charlie Munger, Howard Marks, Bill Miller, and Nick Sleep. Not just lessons about how to build enduring wealth, but about how to think and how to live. This will be the third year in a row that I've hosted a richer, wiser, happier masterclass, and I'm planning to make this my final offering of the class. The first two groups include an amazingly accomplished selection of people from around the world, including some hugely successful hedge fund managers and mutual fund managers, asset allocators, wealth advisers, managers of family offices, a medical doctor, a management consultant, several CEOs and entrepreneurs, and even a renowned physicist turned quant fund manager. But what matters most to me is that they're an unusually thoughtful, soulful group of people who love learning from one another and sharing insights about investing, business, and life. If you're a keen investor and a passionate learner and would like to know more about the masterclass, please feel free to contact my friend and fellow podcast host, Kyle Greave, and he can answer any questions you might have about dates, prices, and the like. His email address is kyle, that's kyle,@theinvestorspodcast.com. I'm totally biased, but I think this is a really rare opportunity to become a better investor, to think more deeply about how you wanna live, and to build rich friendships with a very special group of people.
