TRANSCRIPT

[00:00:00] Daniel Mahncke: Today, Shawn and I are dropping a special mini episode midweek so we can spend a few minutes talking about something we get asked about all the time and something that has become a pretty big part of our day-to-day lives, and that is The Intrinsic Value Community.
[00:00:21] Shawn O’Malley: Yeah, surprise. We are blessing your feed on a day that is not Sunday with a little mini episode.
[00:00:27] Shawn O’Malley: And since we mentioned the community and some of its members here and there on the podcast. We naturally get a lot of follow up questions. You know, things like what exactly is The Intrinsic Value Community? Who is it actually Ford? How is it different from just listening to the podcast and newsletter that we publish for free every single week?
[00:00:45] Shawn O’Malley: And so we thought the simplest way to answer. All of that was just to take a few minutes and come here directly to you and and record this short standalone episode, something anyone can listen to where we explain what we’ve built, why we built it, and, and what role it plays alongside the podcast and newsletter.
[00:01:04] Daniel Mahncke: I think it’s fair to say that we originally built this by just asking ourselves a fairly simple question, which has been, what am I missing to become a meaningfully better investor and just how do I keep the habit of continuous learning alive over the long run? So we are basically trying to solve a problem we have experienced ourselves, and if you follow our work for a while, you know that Shawn and I spend a huge amount of time researching businesses, and after an entire year of deep diving into one company every single week, you just start to realize how hard it is to consistently find companies that are actually worth going deep on.
