    “Kindness and generosity” as the most important human qualities coming from a Harvard Professor of Finance. Boy! That gives me hope. I feel and so appreciate the deep wisdom and spirituality of Mr. Desai’s Indian heritage shining through. Thank you gentlemen ~

    Mr. Howes. I love how in your videos you are a great listener. One of the greatest gifts you give us is how to listen. I’m sure you have this compendium of great useful knowledge that very few people have, yet you listen and listen and listen; it’s admirable that You’re not showing off your great stores of knowledge. I learn as much from your guest as I do from watching you listen.

  • @mikeforseth
    @mikeforseth Před 6 lety +171

    20 years in financial services tells me the Harvard professor knows what he's talking about. :-). It's easy to get started. Keep a part of everything you earn and invest it so it grows (Mihir mentioned index funds) and/or pays you money (Mihir mentioned treasuries). Make sure you are contributing to any company plan, at least enough to get the match. Learn as you go.
    Three books to check out in addition to The Wisdom of Finance
    Rich Dad, Poor Dad -mentioned in the show
    The Richest Man in Babylon
    The Millionaire Next Door
    Way to expand the guest list Lewis.

    • @dawnfmEnthusiast
      @dawnfmEnthusiast Před 6 lety +3

      how would one exactly invest in an index fund or purchase a bond? I know what they are, but don't know how to execute a transaction! appreciate your recommendations!

    • @mikeforseth
      @mikeforseth Před 6 lety +8

      You will need an account to do the transaction in. Research more about index funds so that you know which fund(s) you want to invest in, Then you could open an online brokerage account or an account with a mutual fund family. This can normally be done in a few minutes online. You deposit funds to the account and then you can make a trade to purchase the investments you choose. Depending on the account and investments you can automate the deposit of additional funds and the purchase of additional shares. When you make regular purchases of an investment, you take advantage of something called dollar cost averaging. I'm sure you tiube can teach you all about that. Best of luck,

      Rich dad had some good insights for sure, but it's important to note that his advice if followed would have bankrupted anyone leveraged into risky real estate during the 2008 crash.

    I follow closely everything that is happening at Harvard Business School and really appreciate his interview , very powerful. Thanks Lewis ! Everything he said is right , I have young children and absolutely teach them this mindset if finance. It’s interesting because I also had a grandfather from Italy that kept a handwritten ledger as did his wife and my great aunt. My grandfather also taught me from an early age to look back in history and glean from history principles of finance and life. I also really appreciate how he blends a variety of stories, history and the Bible and convert to finance and leveraging resources ! Yes the story of the parables , exactly! I always say it to my clients and my kids how can we turn $1 in to $10 aka , talents , resources , gifts and so on. Wonderful interview !

    On the story of the talent he mentioned, the second was given 2 talents not 3 and that story do not only symbolises finance and gifts; it is also a foreshadow of what Heaven and Hell looks like, when you read it 'meditatively'.
    Great referencing and relational storytelling

    • @fabfinancefairy
      @fabfinancefairy Před rokem

      Great takeaways from this inspiring conversation; (1) While we are not equally talented/gifted, it is our duty (not an option) to make the most of what you have given. (2) Don't stigmatise failure, accept that it happens and start on a clean slate. (3) The power of Generosity and kindness are generally underestimated in life. (4) Your biggest leverage is your reputation.
