Farm Tank Podcast - AI Trading, The Cowboys & Pablo Escobar

I was recently on Jordan Van Trump's Farm Tank podcast. 

On the podcast, we talked about artificial intelligence & trading, the Cowboys, my trip to Columbia, and a bunch of other things. 

Worth a listen. Check it out. 

Here are some highlights:

• "You have to really enjoy the people you do business with. It's important to know who's fun to be around, who's going to be a net add, who's going to create energy, and who's going to have ideas." (5:55)
• "I had a computer. Back then, only secretaries typed. I had a lot of people telling me it looked bad for a lawyer to have a computer, but I loved it and pretty quickly it became a competitive advantage." (15:20)
• "One of the most important business lessons I learned is you have to understand what you want. So much of what I see in business is people telling me what they don't want." (19:00)
• "I found that 10 times better is often easier to achieve than 10% better. If you're going for a 10% change, then you're bringing the past forward and you're trying to figure out what you can adjust." (20:00)
• "Learning and growing are huge. For me, it's about raising the standard, getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, seeing the bigger picture, and creating breakthroughs. In order to do that I surround myself with people who think differently." (22:45)
• "There's a difference between good and great and that difference is infinitesimal. You have to find not only what you're excellent at, but also what gives you energy because every day you fight the good fight and compete with everybody else."(58:00)

 

I'll be at The Van Trump conference, in Kansas City, on November 28th. Hope to see you there.
