This June, ChatGPT took its first swing with five big questions about Rule Breaker Investing, and a new episodic series was born. Now, we’re back for Volume 2—with a baseball twist! ChatGPT pitches David five questions, each a unique pitch type:
1. Hardball: What separates Rule Breakers built to last from those destined to fizzle out?
2. Softball: Can David sum up Rule Breaker Investing in one sentence?
3. Curveball: What would make him rethink a long-term winner?
4. Screwball: Is there a traditional investing rule David (begrudgingly) respects?
5. Knuckleball: If he could pass on just one Rule Breaker principle, what would it be?
Come for the hardball, stay for the knuckleball!

Investing rewards those who play the long game. While short-term trading can capture gains, true wealth comes from thinking in years, even decades. This applies not just to investing, but also in business, leadership, and life. This week, David interviews Rand Stagen, Managing Director of Stagen Leadership Academy, and one of David’s favorite people in business. Rand shares his wisdom on the long-term development of leaders and organizations, why conscious leadership is crucial for businesses today, and the lessons we can all learn from playing the long game in every aspect of life. Along the way, they’ll explore the balance of business, family, and legacy, and even tackle some Buy, Sell, or Hold predictions for the future of leadership.
