  • S E26: Warren Buffett: The Greatest Investor Who Ate Like A Child | 026
    Feb 23 2026

    Josh Spiegel looks at the human side of Warren Buffett who recently retired: what it must’ve been like having him as a grandpa, what advice he’d give over ice cream, why he drank gallons of Coca-Cola, and how a man who understood the future better than anyone never bothered to upgrade his lifestyle.

    Along the way, Josh breaks down Buffett’s unconventional investing philosophy-patience, boredom, doing nothing-and why his real genius might not have been money at all, but temperament.

Is humanity's space escape plan genius or a disaster brewing to destroy another planet?
