Doing the tour to promote How NOT to Invest (paperback out now!) I got lots of interesting questions — about the book, my writing process, my investing philosophy, and my career.
The one (really two) questions that I was not prepared for had to do with the podcast:
“Who was your favorite guest(s) on MiB?” and/or “What was your favorite episode?”
These are actually two different questions — who I enjoyed meeting/chatting with is a different issue from which episode was the most informative and interesting conversation.
I would spout off an answer from the most fun recent episode I could recall off the top of my mind. But I really should have a better answer than that . . . so I sat down and thought about it, combining the two questions into one. The result was a list of 25ish shows (out of ~650) that were both memorable, informative, surprising, and fun.
All of these were fun, and have an interesting story around them — either how the guest joined me, or what else was going on that made these unique or special, presented in no particular order:
