Jake and Bill met at Berkshire and immediately became friends. While they invest differently, they have more in common than Value After Hours fans may think. On Value After Hours Jake is known for his "veggie" segments, which are segments that tie investing ideas to other worldy concepts. He is very passionate about making the best decisions possible and drawing from a wide range of subjects. We hope this episode highlights how Jake thinks about the world and spreads better decision making.

Brian Arthur's theory of Returns to Scale.

Welcome to The Business Brew This podcast’s mission is to dig deep into the thought patterns and analysis of investors and business people. The podcast stemmed from Bill Brewster consistently feeling like he was listening to prepackaged material while listening to podcasts. Instead, he wanted long form, in depth, discussions about finance, capital allocation, and the psychology of investing/business. Bill is a private investor. He cohosts the podcast Value: After Hours with Tobias Carlisle and Jake Taylor. Tobias, Jake and Bill met at a Berkshire Hathaway meeting and formed a lasting friendship. And, as it turns out, people really like the podcast. While Bill tries to replicate Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger’s thought processes, he is heavily influenced by Bill Miller III, Stan Druckenmiller, and others. This podcast is his attempt to dig deeper into other investing/business philosophies and share the knowledge with the world. We are interested in interviewing portfolio managers, Wall Street sell side analysts, buy side analysts, private investors, owner operators, and anyone that is willing to go in depth about running a company/division.
