Warren Buffett

In this episode of Intelligent Investment Today, we return to the foundations of classic value investing and explore the discipline Benjamin Graham considered essential: balance sheet analysis . While modern markets obsess over stories, growth narratives, and technological excitement, Graham insisted that intelligent investing begins with something far more concrete — financial reality .

Join Lee Brower in this week's Meaningful Monday as he shares incredibly valuable insights he gained from a one-on-one interaction with world-renowned billionaire investor, Warren Buffett. Brower reflects on an inspiring lifetime experience where he had the opportunity to sit with Buffett and ferret out the secrets behind his enormous success. In a fascinating conversation with the Oracle of Omaha, Brower learned about Buffett's unique ability to see opportunities where none apparently exist and his strategy of strongly saying 'no' to anything that doesn't align with his main objectives. Here he discusses how Buffett's secrets are less about financial acumen and more about possessing the right mindset. Brower shares that Buffett attributes much of his success to building and cherishing his cheerleaders; the leaders within his 62 companies. Brower further reflects on an incidental expression of profound gratitude from Buffett who claimed that one of the reasons behind his astounding success is being born in America. The discussion takes a deeper dive as Brower shares three practical lessons extracted from the life of Warren Buffett: going to bed smarter every day, associating with people who are better, and investing in oneself. Brower masterfully elaborates on these three tenets, explaining how they can lead a more meaningful life, full of learning, growth, and continuous improvement. Brower ends the episode with an motivating challenge for listeners: to make the upcoming week a time of intense learning and growth. He encourages the audience to live deliberately and to make life more than just meaningful - to make it truly exceptional.

"I don't look to jump over seven-foot bars; I look around for one-foot bars that I can step over." - Warren Buffett "You've gotta keep control of your time, and you can't unless you say no. You can't let people set your agenda in life." - Warren Buffett "The most important investment you can make is in yourself." - Warren Buffett
