Different Kinds of BS
Jeff Bezos once said there are different kinds of smart. Distinguishing the various flavors is important because if you think smarts comes in just one form, you’ll miss dozens of other nuanced varieties.BS is the same. It comes in countless forms, some harder to spot than others. False modesty, projecting, double standards, hypocrisy, tugging at heartstrings – these aren’t lies; they’re subtle forms of BS which is why they’re so prevalent.

Great little nuggets of wisdom
I really enjoy the quotations used in the podcast, which makes me really think about the way I view money and use money. I totally changed my mindset about what I need and want. I’m now more concerned about making more money than spending more money. I got onto the podcast having read the book which is also a really good interesting and thought provoking read and I have quite easily managed to stop looking at spending money on small irrelevant, things that made me happy for one day rather than the next 10 years.
Wisdom beyond his years
Morgan is a GENIUS, his way of thinking around human behaviour and explanations for outcomes, motivations, desires is extremely compelling
Outstanding
