[00:00:00] Kyle Grieve: What if you could peek inside the minds of the greatest investors in history, people who’ve beaten the market, not just for a few years, but for decades. For Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, to Peter Lynch, Nick Sleep, and John Neff. These legends didn’t just make money. They reshaped how we think about investing business life, and decision making.

[00:00:18] Kyle Grieve: And today I’m breaking down timeless lessons that helped them do it. In this episode, I’ll share what Buffett’s honesty and transparency can teach us about long-term trust and opportunity. How Graham’s margin of safety still applies in a world that’s completely dominated by intangible assets and how Peter Lynch used incredibly simple observation to uncover billion dollar companies that were hiding in plain sight.

[00:00:42] Kyle Grieve: We’ll also explore Philip Fisher’s scuttlebutt method for gaining an information edge. John Templeton’s contrarian genius for finding value where just no one else dared to look. And John Neff’s flexible definition of value that just went beyond low PEs. Then we’ll dive into the mental frameworks that helped make some of these great investors just so extraordinary.

[00:01:02] Kyle Grieve: We’ll look at things such as Howard Mark’s second order thinking, Nick Sleep, and Qais Zakaria’s art of holding on to winners. Mohnish Pabrai provides I for hidden value. And then finally, Charlie Munger’s philosophy of a win-win relationship in business and in life. Each of these lessons is heavily shaped the way that I personally invest and think, and I’ll walk you through the key takeaways that you can apply right now, whether you’re running a business, managing your portfolio, or just simply trying to become a better decision maker.

[00:01:30] Kyle Grieve: So if you’re an investor looking to sharpen your edge, a lifelong learner, just fascinated by what drives consistent excellence, or someone searching for practical ways to think more clearly and act more rationally. This episode is just for you. You’ll walk away with tools and stories that have stood the test of time, insights that separate the true legends from just the good.

[00:01:50] Kyle Grieve: Now let’s get right into this week’s episode on my 10 lessons from investing legends.

[00:01:58] Intro: Since 2014 and through more than 180 million downloads, we’ve studied the financial markets and read the books that influence self-made billionaires the most. We keep you informed and prepared for the unexpected. Now for your host, Kyle Grieve.

[00:02:22] Kyle Grieve: Welcome to The Investor’s Podcast. I’m your host, Kyle Grieve, and today I’ll be discussing 10 lessons from value investing legends. Since I spend so much of my time trying to uncover subtleties that legendary investors have employed to achieve their incredible results, I thought it would be a good idea to maybe break down one major lesson from each of them.
