Berkshire Hathaway Part II

In Part II of our Berkshire Hathaway Trilogy (!), we pick up the
story with Warren wandering in the woods of Omaha, searching for
his life's next chapter after retiring from the professional
investing business at the top of his game at age 39. How does he
emerge from those woods anew, transforming from Ben Graham's
cigar-butt cocoon into the butterfly collector of Berkshire's
wonderful businesses? (Spoiler: Charlie Munger.) And how did one
rotten-to-the-core business nearly bring it all down — everything
he'd ever worked for — in the span of one terrible week? Tune
in!
