Monevator – That’s right, I forgot about all his side-business initiatives. WB definitely had a knack for making money. He made the most of his opportunities! Sam

A lot of Buffett’s success was definitely down to meeting Ben Graham — wherever Graham happened to be teaching, I think the two men would have hit it off.

Something else that comes across in The Snowball is Buffett was running little businesses from his mid-teens. For instance, instead of just delivering papers, he ran the route and multiple delivery boys. From memory, he had a farm and a tenant from age 20 or similar. He has a lot of practical experience of getting his hands dirty in business, as well as that academic background.

That was a nice interview FS. I really admire Warren Buffett in so many ways. He is an epitome of a frugal yet genius guru in investing.

what a neat interview. I think it’s great that he donated such a huge sum of money. I can’t even fathom having a fraction of that amount and it’s great he’s giving it to a good cause. thanks for sharing!

Genius/MoneyMonk – no problem. I haven’t been so excited about a show/interview in a long time.

It was funny, as some of us publishers think differently. While I was reading publishers Twitter about watchinbg “The Office”, I was Twittering about this interview and all the things Warren and Bill said to help make us a success!

Minority Report – Great comment! Oprah is such an amazing woman. What a success she has done branding and monetizing herself!

Buffet’s message of finding a right mentor is so key. Work for someone you admire, and hope she/he brings you up with them!

Hi Melissa – Thanks for your thoughts. Is it really cost though? Wouldn’t you be willing to borrow $100,000 if there’s a high likelihood you’ll make $1,000,000 more over your career? Many people have literally a short 2 year payback period on their grad school investments ie they make 50k more a year upon graduation.

This is one of the great things about credit. It’s easy for anybody to use, and I can’t think of a better thing to invest in than your education and career!
