Interview on Islands of Investing

July 12, 2015 by Mr. 1500 Days 8 Comments

R2, you're looking a bit worn out, but I love you just the same.
R2, you’re looking a bit worn out, but I love you just the same.

Today, I redirect you to a riveting interview that I did for my buddy Jason over at Islands of Investing. Among other things, you’ll learn about:

  • Mrs. 1500’s previous life as an acrobat in Cirque du Soleil
  • My previous life as a worm rancher
  • Why my childhood R2D2 sits atop my desk
  • My favorite color
  • My top 3 stock picks for 2016 and beyond
  • Why I love romantic walks on the beach
  • The new weight-loss book that I’m writing: “The Marshmallow Diet”
  • The best advice I ever heard

OK, most of those things are complete and total BS. The last one isn’t though and in my humble opinion, it is one whopper of a quote courtesy of Warren Buffett’s partner in money, Charlie Munger. Flip over to Islands of Investing to see it and the rest of the interview.

Big thanks to Jason for sharing his little piece of Internet real estate with me!

      I wish! That was just a dumb joke on my part.

    I so wanted to know more about that new book of yours: “The Marshmallow Diet”. Sounds like a winner to me!

    Good interview, nice summary actually.

    Awesome interview. Looks like I’ll have to further my aspirations and try my hand at some worm ranching!

      Worm ranching is great! However, it’s really difficult to lasso the little buggers. They don’t enjoy the branding process either, but who would?
