About this listen

Because he was a self-described “lazy bum” as a teenager, David Gardner’s mother got him a job near their home. In 1980, mowing lawns in the DC summer heat was no picnic and the job didn’t pay well. But it led to surprising mentorship that fed his interest in a relatively new technology: home computers. David shares some important themes from his new book, Rule Breaker Investing: How to Pick the Best Stocks of the Future and Build Lasting Wealth, and discusses:
- How he followed his father’s career advice
- What’s behind his above-average comfort level with risk
- Board games vs. VR headsets
- His “mediocre” track record in one type of investing
Opening clip – “Moneyball”
