Off the back of 100 Baggers, Rule Breaker Investing by David Gardner popped up in my Audible recommendations. I’ve never really developed the habit of regularly checking The Motley Fool or listening to its podcasts, but I decided to give this a try anyway as sometimes the medium makes all the difference.

I’ve previously written about Nick & Zak’s Adventures in Capitalism. Although 100 Baggers by Christopher Mayer extends the focus to analysing what makes a 100-bagger, it has a similar underlying theme of patience and long term holding.

I listen to The Acquirers Podcast, hosted by Tobias Carlisle on a weekly basis, so when he announced he had a new book coming out, I was happy to check it out. He’d already discussed its core thesis on his own show as well as in a We Study Billionaires interview, but even with that preview, I underestimated just how much of a valuable read Soldier of Fortune would turn out to be.

Nick and Zak’s Adventures in Capitalism could easily be described as a memoir in discipline, conviction, patience, and an almost zen-like comfort with inactivity. That last part may need a little explanation unless you’re already familiar with Nick and Zak’s investing philosophy.

This is one of the few instances where I’m reviewing both a book and its accompanying podcast in the same post, however in the case of Richer, Wiser, Happier by William Green, it feels only natural. The two complement each other so perfectly that separating them seems inappropriate.
