Perhaps the best-kept secret of any writer is the ability to find
inspiration in unconventional places. And that’s Michael Mauboussin
in a nutshell. Investing, business, reading, writing, luck, skill —
name a topic he’s passionate about, and he’s found a way to make
money from it in his writing. How? By subverting “The Curse
of Knowledge.” With his decades-long career on Wall Street,
you’d think that reading Michael’s work would be like trying to
learn Latin on the fly. But the opposite is true. “I put my
arm around the reader, and we gaze off into the world and say,
“Let’s talk about what we see. Let’s make this concrete and
interesting.” No stuffy professionalism. No robotic jargon.
While many of us writers see the ignorance of a reader as a
handicap, Michael sees it as an opportunity. And as a result, he’s
become a billboard for how to build a career around who you truly
are and what you’re actually interested in. In this episode,
you’ll learn how to do the same. Come learn tactical writing and
life instruction from one of Wall Street’s best and
brightest. SPEAKER LINKS: Website:
