Vinod spent over thirty years in Indian markets. He was the India head of Morgan Stanley Investment Management in the 1990s, and since then has been investing his own capital, teaching, and thinking about markets in a way that very few people do. I recorded this conversation with him in August 2025 while working on the book.

Vinod talks about:

• Pain, patience, and intention as the three things you actually control in investing and in life.
• Why hard work has almost nothing to do with returns.
• Return on time mattering more than return on money.
• Reading people rather than spreadsheets.
• The age we live in — which, Vinod argues, is not an age of ignorance but an age of stupidity, and why that's actually a good thing if you know how to see it.
• The market as guru, as mirror, as sadhana.

It's one of the best conversations I've had on this show. I hope it finds you at a time when you can sit with it properly.

I talk to Jason Zweig, a personal finance columnist for The Wall Street Journal and the editor of Benjamin Graham's 'The Intelligent Investor'. Jason is also the author of 'Your Money and Your Brain', one of the first books to explore the neuroscience of investing, and 'The Devil's Financial Dictionary', a satirical glossary of Wall Street. Join me as I delve into Jason's mind, exploring the key lessons about becoming an intelligent investor, how to survive the stock market, why Ben Graham's ideas still matter, and much more.

I talk to Leander Paes, the Indian tennis legend widely regarded as one of the greatest doubles players in tennis history. Join me as I delve into Leander's mind, exploring his remarkable journey over four decades to become a tennis legend, his philosophy on hard work, patience, and dealing with losses and failures, and his advice to the young generation on playing the long game.
