TL;DR

The speaker recounts a personal experience of cold-calling Warren Buffett, getting put through immediately, and speaking with him for 1.5 hours. Buffett was exactly as he appears on CNBC – available, interested, and nice – contradicting the “don’t meet your heroes” trope. The speaker found the interaction insanely inspiring.

  • Buffett claimed he was “not doing anything” and offered to talk “for as long as you want.”
