This low-downside, high-complexity approach fascinated him. 14:00 - The telecom case study: Worked with two entrepreneurs who turned $100,000 each into a $600 million exit by building dark fiber infrastructure and data centers. “They were the best telecom lawyers in Australia and they weren’t lawyers”—emphasizing the power of combining financial, technological, and regulatory understanding. 28:00 - Philosophy behind Soldier of Fortune: Explores Warren Buffett as risk-taker rather than risk-avoider, connecting his strategic thinking to Sun Tzu’s Art of War. The book examines 13 laws of strategic advantage. 45:00 - Discussion of key laws: “Attack weakness with strength” and “seize the initiative”—Buffett’s approach to investing in moments when he has maximum advantage, like deploying capital during the 2008 crisis. 1:08:00 - The surfing analogy: Experienced investors are “not only on the right wave, but at the right spot on that wave”—getting positioning and timing right rather than just working harder. 1:09:00 - Impact on his own investing: “Shot selection becomes so much better the longer that you do something...if I’m just a little bit more patient, I know that there is a bigger wave coming.” 1:11:30 - Definition of success: “A happy, healthy family and time with my kids...watching them play sport. That’s really my definition of success.” Podcast Program – Disclosure Statement Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm’s employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.
