Berkshire Hathaway Part I

It's time. After 150+ episodes on great companies, we tackle the
granddaddy of them all — Berkshire Hathaway. One episode alone
isn't nearly enough to do Warren and Poor Charlie justice, so
today we present Part I: Warren's story. How did a folksy,
middle-class kid from Omaha become the single greatest capitalist
of all-time? Why, like Jordan, did he retire (twice!) at the top
of his game, only to reinvent himself and come back stronger than
ever? As always, we dive in. Let's dance.
