There’s a certain kind of ambition that worships the alarm clock. Tech CEOs and hedge fund managers talk about their 4:00 a.m. wake-up times the way other people talk about marathon times: as proof of something. Warren Buffett doesn’t play that game. The CEO of Berkshire Hathaway sleeps 8 hours a night and wakes up […]
There’s a lot going on at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Hot off the press is a reimagined Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets along with a refreshed Animation Courtyard, soon to be followed by an all-new indoor experience called The Magic of Disney Animation. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run also received its biggest update since it […]
Most people know the late Charlie Munger as Warren Buffett’s business partner and the vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. What fewer people grasp is that Munger was also a serious student of how good thinking breaks down and why good judgment fails. He spent decades cataloging the mistakes that smart people repeatedly make, and he […]
Usually when someone asks me for advice about vacations for big family groups, I suggest all-inclusive resorts, dude ranches, and cruises. But a recent stay at Napa’s Carneros Resort & Spa opened my eyes to another perfect-fit for multi-generational family groups. This California wine-country resort is unusual: It’s built like a series of idyllic little […]
Warren Buffett has spent decades building one of the most studied careers in the history of investing. The wisdom he has shared over the years goes far beyond stock picks and balance sheets. Woven through his letters, speeches, and interviews is a consistent philosophy about personal boundaries, self-knowledge, and the quiet confidence of someone who […]
There’s nothing like the family-friendly energy of a welcoming coastal town to help you enjoy summer vacation. Think sandy toes, waves washing up on shore, bike rides along the water, and ice cream that melts faster than you can eat it. But don’t stop at the beach. In America’s best coastal towns, you’ll also find […]
Warren Buffett has spent decades watching smart people fail. His conclusion, built from a lifetime of studying investors, business partners, and executives, is that raw brainpower is one of the most overrated things a person can possess. Buffett once joked that “If you’ve got a 160 IQ, sell 30 points to somebody else because you […]
Summer and theme parks have been synonymous for ages. But at Walt Disney World, summer may actually be the best time to take little kids. No, you didn’t read that wrong, and I already know what you’re thinking. The idea of taking young kids to a theme park in Florida when it’s 100 degrees outside […]
Most personal finance advice is built for people who already have financial breathing room. Telling a working-class earner to skip the daily coffee or clip grocery coupons manages existing scarcity. It doesn’t create abundance in their lives. Multiplying wealth from a low starting point takes a different approach entirely. Psychology, asymmetric risk, and a willingness […]
There’s a new offering on the Skunk Train in the Northern California town of Willits. It’s small, fast, electric and… pedal-powered? On a recent sunny day in spring, I joined a group to try out the Skunk Train Railcoaster. Here’s what it was like. Mendocino County’s Skunk Train has two depots at either end of […]
