    EP77 Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder

    This week, we continue our journey with Arnold by learning how he rose to the top of the bodybuilding world in only an 8 year span!! As a 15 year old kid in Austria, Arnold wasn't on anybody's radar to become the next bodybuilding sensation. Certainly no one thought he would become the Mr. Universe champion as a teen... yet his unbreakable self confidence and relentless work ethic just catapulted him to the top that much quicker than all his peers. This episode is filled with gold, from Arnold's inspiring mentality, to how he was able to differentiate himself from other greats, to his actual lifting routines that you and I can adopt today. I highly recommend you listen - whether you are someone going for greatness in your own field, or simply want a little inspiration for your next workout.

    EP75 What I Learned About Investing From Darwin

    We loved making this episode because it's part Darwin evolutionary biology and part Buffett investing wisdom! In the book, Pulak Prasad shares how he has built his investment philosophy based on evolutionary survival, and how many lessons surprisingly cross over into the finance world. His approach may seem simple, but it is effective: 1) Avoid Big Risks 2) Buy High Quality at a Fair Price 3) Don't Be Lazy - be very lazy He's used this strategy to grow his investment firm, Nalanda, into a $5 billion fund, practicing what he preaches on a daily basis. But his book differs greatly from most investment books, because he incorporates examples across evolutionary science, such as deers in the wilderness, taming wild foxes, growing rabbit populations, and much more. These stories serve as a powerful connection to investing because they teach us how businesses can structure themselves to survive the long haul, how investors can overcome their natural FOMO instincts, and how compounding can creep up on us unlike anything we've ever seen before. I think this episode will be informative for investors, operators, and all science nuts alike. We hope you enjoy it!! ---- What I Learned About Investing From Darwin - Pulak Prasad ---- Please share with a friend or rate 5 stars if you enjoyed this episode! | Find us at ReadnRepeat.com and on Twitter @ReadnRepeatPod ---- Recommendation of the Week: Dakshana Foundation ---- The Web of Ideas: What I Learned About Investing From Darwin (my notes on the book) ---- Show Notes: 3:04 - Avoid Big Risks: would you bet your life on your next investment? 12:22 - Buy high quality at a fair price 20:37 - What rats and antifragile businesses have in common 28:13 - Using the past to assess the future 38:31 - Don't be lazy... be very lazy 45:48 - What we mistake when we talk about compounding

    EP74 Only the Paranoid Survive

    In this episode we cover Andy Grove's famous book, Only the Paranoid Survive. Andy Grove was a co-founder and former CEO of Intel, leading the company through some of its best years as it established a stronghold over the growing PC market. In this book, he talks about the many challenges they faced before getting to that point. Andy Grove views technological change through the lens of strategic inflection points, sharing how you can either be disrupted into oblivion because of one, or cause one onto others. He describes the struggles Intel faced as its success in the memory business was eroded, and how they had to let go of their old identity to build a lasting business. Fortunately, Intel had been quietly working on another chip, the microprocessor, at the same time, so now they could focus all their energy on this product and lead the PC revolution. We discuss many of his insights around disruption, and how it has impacted countless industries since, such as discount retailing, cable TV, film photography, and newspapers.

    EP71 Son of Hamas

    This episode continues our two part series on the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. In this episode, we learn the origin story of the terrorist group Hamas, told firsthand by their founder's son, Mosab Hassan Yousef. We share his perspective growing up in the Palestinian region of the West Bank, internalizing a deep hatred of Jews and their role in the Palestinian people's suffering. As he reaches his teenage years, Mosab begins to rebel and tries to get involved in the conflict himself, which lands him in prison for over a year. It was this time in prison that ended up being transformative for Mosab. He starts to build relationships with Israelis, learning that they treat him respectfully and are willing to help him complete his studies. At this fitting time, Mosab attends a Christianity lecture on "loving your enemy", and starts to reflect on what Hamas does wrong in their leadership over the Palestinian people. Over the coming years, he became the top insider spy for Israel's Shin Bet unit, stopping numerous suicide bombings and attacks on Israeli civilians. We close off the episode describing how Hamas has continued to inflict suffering on the Palestinian people, while terrorizing innocent Israeli civilians as well. Lastly, we touch on the tragic events of October 7th, dispelling some of the most common myths being circulated online. We hope you find this episode informative! ---- Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue, and Unthinkable Choices - Mosab Hassan Yousef ---- Please share with a friend or rate 5 stars if you enjoyed this episode! | Find us at ReadnRepeat.com and on Twitter @ReadnRepeatPod ---- Recommendation of the Week: When Things Fall Apart ---- The Web of Ideas: Son of Hamas (my notes on the book) ---- Show Notes: 4:58 - The rise of Islam 11:33 - Hamas starts to protest 18:17 - Peaceful coexistence is the last goal for Hamas 26:05 - The problem is not Israel's policies, it's Israel's right to exist... 28:42 - An eye opening time in prison 36:13 - Placing the blame on Hamas & Yasser Arafat 40:55 - The Green Prince: Israel's ultimate spy 44:12 - Hamas would never stop short of taking back all of Israel 48:19 - "The Palestinian people were as oppressed by their own leaders as they were by Israel" 49:47 - A villian more terrifying than your worst nightmare - Hamas & October 7th 1:03:46 - Free Gaza, from HAMAS

    EP70 Israel: The Most Misunderstood Country on Earth

    This week's episode is extra special to us. In this episode, we dive into the history of Israel and the conflict in the Middle East, attempting to provide nuance to an extremely polarizing subject. We answer questions like: are Israelis colonizers? Is Israel an apartheid state? Why do we even need a Jewish state? Who is the real threat in the Middle East? Based on the fantastic book by Noa Tishby, we learn how Jews first populated the land of Israel over 2500 years ago, and established an ancestral homeland there across hundreds of years. We discuss the beginning of the Zionist movement - an effort to re-establish a safe state for Jews - which was ultimately accepted by the world after the horrifying events of the Holocaust. We then walk through the many wars and potential peace deals between Israelis and Palestinians, where a final deal for peace was abandoned by the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in 2000. Shortly afterwards, we see the rise of Islamic Jihadist movement and the terrorist group Hamas, who have expressed no interest in peace and would rather eradicate their neighbors. We conclude by discussing some of the progress Israel has made recently by establishing peace with a few of their other Arab neighbors. We hope for peace in the region and look forward to sharing part 2, on Son of Hamas. ---- Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth - Noa Tishby ---- Please share with a friend or rate 5 stars if you enjoyed this episode! | Find us at ReadnRepeat.com and on Twitter @ReadnRepeatPod ---- Recommendation of the Week: Trader Joe's Peanut Satay Noodles ---- The Web of Ideas: Israel - A Simple Guide (my notes on the book) ---- Show Notes: 4:15 - Are Israelis colonizers?
