Today is the day! I just got the visa and booked the flights. I’m traveling to Miami and New York City. Not too long ago, I started sharing my thoughts, ideas, and journey of building a portfolio of niche cash-flow businesses while still living in Geneva, Switzerland. The video below was taken right after the meeting with a local GP and founder of a PE fund that now manages more than $1b in AUM. He said he left his job in his early 30s. Today, he's in his 50s. Great guy and very generous! (Side note: Older folks, say yes to these 15–20 minute coffee meetings with younger people. Keep sharing your journey. You never know whose life you'll change for the better.) My notes from this meeting: "Just go and do it. Have the ability to figure things out. That's all. That's the advice." Anyway, now, after years, 16.5k tweets, and 150+ podcast episodes, I’m traveling to the US. (This time, not as a tourist.) One big lesson from this journey so far: "Be yourself... You never know who follows you in the trenches."

9 of my favorite highlights from Jeremy Giffon: (I’m VERY glad I found Jeremy at 31, and not when I’m 51) 1. Best companies are getting paid an absurd amount of money for their words alone. No inventory, no logistics, no capital expenditures—just wisdom that people will pay millions for. 2. I want to buy from forced sellers, not willing sellers. 3. Coordination problems are where the money is. 4. The best assets in the world are unloved, orphaned, and misunderstood. 5. If you’re doing deals just to stay busy, you’re going to underperform someone who waits for the fat pitch. 6. Think beyond numbers. We once offerened $25 million and a Ferrari 488 7. Leverage isn’t just financial. It can be social as well. 8. $4 coffees don’t buy meetings with influential people. 9. You don’t need to be a genius to win in investing. You just need to see the game differently than everyone else.
