MiB: David Gardner, Co-Founder, The Motley Fool

This week, I speak with David Gardner, Co-Founder of The Motley Fool. We discuss his new book book “Rule Breaker Investing: How to Pick the Best Stocks of he Future and Build Lasting Wealth.”

We also discuss the the Rule Breaker framework — David’s checklist for spotting the kind of high-growth, category-defining companies (think early Amazon, Netflix, NVIDIA) that drive long-run portfolio returns — and the trade-offs versus more conservative approaches. David’s podcast at the Fool, Rule Breaker Investing, has been going since 2015.

A list of his current reading/favorite books is here; A transcript of our conversation is available here Tuesday.
