The Fat Wallet Show from Just One Lap
The Fat Wallet Show is a show about questions. It's about admitting that we don't know everything, but that we're willing to learn. Most of all, it's about understanding as much as we can to make us all better investors. Phrases like, "I'm not sure" or, "Let me look that up and get back to you"...
