Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
· Patrick O'Shaughnessy, Krishna Rao
[00:00:00] S0: Sure hope you're right. It sure seems like we're on that trajectory, and it's quite a future to imagine. This was so much fun. I feel like we covered so many interesting aspects of the business. When I do these, I ask the same traditional closing question. What is the kindest thing that anyone's ever done for you? [00:00:00] S1: I have a brother who's five and a half years older than me. We lived in California when he went to college. He got into everywhere he applied to, and he was going to go to medical school after that. I didn't know any of this at the time —he ended up going to college in state. He did exceptionally well. It's years later that I had to pull this out of him, but in deciding where to go to college — we were solidly middle class. This was 25, 30 years ago. The financial aid packages weren't as robust as they are today. A big factor in his decision, I found out, was wanting to give me the opportunity to go wherever I wanted. That was six years out, and who knows how I would turn out. A big part of his decision, a big factor in his decision, was giving me the opportunity to have choice. I didn't know that. 12-year-old me or 13-year-old me would never have understood. Many years later, I think that's something that was incredibly kind, and is something that I still hold with me today. [00:00:00] S0: I've done this 600 times or something. I've never heard an answer of that type. That's awesome. Amazing. Love to meet your brother. Krishna, thanks so much for doing this with me. [00:00:00] S1: Thanks for having me, Patrick. Really enjoyed it.
