Today we want to give you glimpse into our lives behind the scenes of this podcast and share more of who we are and why we wanted to share our knowledge and passion about investing with the world. Both Signe and Michelle come from non-financial professional backgrounds and they discuss their investing learning journeys. We had been searching for an investing strategy that made sense to us. When we read and listened to the "Invested" book and podcast by Danielle and Phil Town, we finally found the Warren Buffett investing style that resonated with us. We discussed how many financial advisors are paid fees regardless of how their clients' portfolios perform, but sometimes professional financial help can be really helpful depending on the situation.
We explained our investing practices and how we live and breathe the investing lifestyle. We reminisced about our incredible experiences at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska and seeing Buffett and Munger live at least once. We met amazing investors like Mohnish Pabrai and Guy Spier. It wasn't a "Wolf of Wall Street" kind of party but a "Woodstock for Capitalists," where a community of like-minded investors came together in the spirit of kindness and sharing. Michelle discussed how she uses practice shares (a concept from Danielle Town) to start having "skin in the game" when researching potential stock investments.
