Can you imagine if every high school in the US had a year long project during senior year that was just "build a business"? Just got off the phone with a 20-year old who went that route at 18 and now knows more about business than I did at 30.

A conversation with Charlie Munger & @collision Charlie said “the best thing a human being can do is to help another human being know more.” On the count, there aren’t many more successful than him. So much wisdom from Charlie and John Please enjoy!

5 jobs of a CEO: 1. Set strategy 2. Deliver capital to pursue that strategy 3. Build team to execute 4. Communicate the hell out of the strategy internally and externally 5. Hold people accountable
