## Resource

In this episode, I’m joined by Neeraj Khemlani former 60 Minutes producer, journalist, head of CBS News and author of The Coffee Can Investor . It's the story of Matt Ankrum , a midwestern portfolio manager whose entire career has been shaped by deep research, emotional discipline, and a willingness to think in decades. Neeraj follows Matt’s journey to build a portfolio designed to be left untouched for 20 or 30 years. Matt’s approach is grounded in simplicity: find exceptional businesses, understand them deeply, and then resist every urge to tinker.
