You have timber and then you have wood that you can turn into paper, basically." "The root of the problem is obviously the new money being created. But the Fed and all the other central banks are just trying to solve it by jacking up interest rates instead of making everyone poorer." "There's a very big alternative cost to not being able to work particularly much for those three years. That's my main issue with it." "I think the concerns on losing muscle are probably a bit overblown. As long as your daily and weekly intake is only a little bit below what you actually need, it's really good for you." "It seems like the money supply has increased by somewhere around 40% I believe since before the pandemic, right?"   ABOUT THE HOSTS Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.
