#44: Warren Buffett's Number 1 Investment? YOUR S-E-L-F !!! (Huh?)

Wassup chedda-makers,  The world's GREATEST investor, Warren "Benjamin's for Breakfast" Buffett, says: If you want to raise your net worth by 50%, then before anything else, invest first in YOURSELF. This dude doesn't hang up his Nebraska college degree in his office. He doesn't hang up his Master's degree from Columbia. He hangs up the communications certificate he got from the Dale Carnegie course he took decades ago. Invest in YOURSELF.  And that's why we had some awesome guests for episode 44: executive coach Patrick McWard, aka P-Mickey, talked street cred on how to invest in ourselves, while Meghan Powell hooked us up with some cool laughs about LaCroix & Juul stock. Bottom line? If you want an EDGE over errryone else, hook up your emotional intelligence game and get REAL with your colleagues and clients. P-Mickey gets into the deets of how to make this happen. We also had the whimsical Mexican ambassador to the United States on this episode, who broke down wassup with Donny Trump and this crazy-a$$ 5% tariff. He basically says: this sh!t ain't gonna be effective whatsoever.  After that, I break down how this impacts the markets. Let's summarize:  - you have a REAL China trade war happening  - you have a potential Mexican trade war about to happen.  So sh!t's gettin real. Put your seat belts on, we bout's to have some more turbulence in the markets. My point in all this? Keep powder dry and start building up some courage to use it. You want to keep investing - even as the market's going down - and if you see it down 10%, down 20%, down 30%, that's where you want to be investing a little bit more money at each draft downwards.  Kick back, Relax, Enjoy this episode!
