A podcast about trying, failing, building—and hopefully helping people along the way. De/generatives is a play on generative—that buzzword people use to describe founders, creatives, and idea machines. We’re sort of like that… except with more anxiety, unfinished projects, and some self-awareness. We’re three friends building businesses, reflecting on our lives, and sharing the chaos in real time. Weekly episodes every Thursday on ideas, experiments, productivity, health, and what actually works (or doesn't). Sometimes funny. Sometimes useful. Occasionally, both.

    Value Investing for Beginners

    In this episode, we discuss the concept of value investing, emphasizing the importance of understanding the principles laid out in Benjamin Graham's 'The Intelligent Investor.' The discussion covers the distinction between investors and speculators, the significance of Mr. Market, and the necessity of having a margin of safety in investments. We highlight the timeless nature of investing psychology and encourages listeners to adopt a long-term perspective in their investment strategies. Takeaways Investing is about survival, not predicting the future. The Intelligent Investor is a foundational text for understanding investing. Many self-identified investors are actually speculators. Mr. Market represents the irrational behavior of the market. Investors should take advantage of market fluctuations. A margin of safety is crucial in investing decisions. Investing should be approached with an anti-fragile mindset. Human behavior in markets remains consistent over time. Greed and boredom can undermine investment strategies. Long-term thinking is essential for successful investing. "You want to have a margin of safety." "Investing should be anti-fragile." "Be an investor, not a speculator."
