Introduction
Rick
Our teacher today is Will Thorndike, co-founder of Compounding Labs and author of acclaimed book The Outsiders. This is such a gift for Paul and I to have Will on Joys of Compounding because few, if any, people have had a greater contribution to our combined teaching and investing vocations.
Paul
So we're doing this intro together.
Rick
What the heck are you doing here? I'm the intro guy.
Paul
Not today. In fact, we decided that this one deserves more context and a bit of a preamble given all the ways Will has impacted us. From his transformative ideas, to the companies we're invested in together, to the remarkable people he's brought into our lives, and the students of ours he's helped to shape and mentor, including a few that he's hired at Compounding Labs.
In our opinion, Will has emerged as one of the most influential and innovative investor minds of the past few decades. And if you care about long-term value creation and the art of capital allocation, chances are you've also benefited from some of his ideas. Oh, and we think he may literally be in the midst of creating a whole new asset class. But more on that later.
