My guest today is a dear friend and fellow author and investor, Jake Taylor. He trusted me once with his life during a sailing trip on some rough seas. Today Jake shares the memory of his great-grandmother, who instilled in him, his interest in saving, meeting Warren Buffett, who fired up his passion for investing, and life experience that ultimately led him to pursuit of freedom. Jake Taylor is the CEO of Farnam Street Investments. He’s also the host of various web series and podcasts: Five Good Questions, The Hikecast, and Value: After Hours. Jake is the author of a very successful book, The Rebel Allocator. He has an MBA in Finance and Accounting from UC Davis. While in school, Jake had a chance lunch with Warren Buffett, which solidified his path toward being a professional value investor. We will talk about: 1) The importance of saving. 2) A life-changing meeting with the legendary investor Warren Buffett. 3) Jake’s best-selling book – The Rebel Allocator. 4) His thoughts on the success and abundance of a free market economy. 5) Jake’s new venture – Journalytic and the importance of journaling while investing.
