Ep. 37: The Compounding Approach to a Healthier, Richer Life ft. Ankush Datar and Mihir Patki

Two professional investors, Ankush Datar and Mihir Patki, spent years applying the same first principles to two very different games: building wealth and building health. In this conversation, we explore why the disciplines that make you a good investor, compounding, patience, playing the long game, focusing on what you control, are the very same ones that keep you healthy, and why so few of us manage to win both games at once. We get into the science and the fear behind lifestyle diseases, the role of luck versus skill, whether money can now buy health, India's strange paradox of rising demat accounts and falling health, and the small, boring, repeatable habits that actually compound over decades. Ankush Datar is a professional investor who currently manages money at PhillipCapital, and a long-time marathon runner and weightlifter. Mihir Patki has built careers across Deloitte, investment banking, and a startup he sold to ICICI Securities, and is the co-author, with Ankush, of The Health and Wealth Paradox. 👉 Get the book, The Health and Wealth Paradox: https://amzn.in/d/085zVjqq *** *** 🎧 THE LONG GAME (formerly The One Percent Show) Slow conversations about the things that compound: money, health, relationships, and wisdom, hosted by Vishal Khandelwal of Safal Niveshak.
