“Has anybody called you?”
This podcast is supported by betterment.
First came the wheel, then came the steam engine, and then came automated investing.
Since the dawn of time, people have used technology to make their lives better.
And better is what betterment is all about.
While we may not be as famous.
As the wheel, we did pioneer a better way to invest, because betterment knows that being invested in better is pretty much the best investment you can make.
Betterment be invested.
Investing involves risk, performance not guaranteed.
Chapter two in one of my first phone conversations with John, before we'd met, I asked him if he thought it was possible that maybe Kburn Burt hadn't killed anybody, if it was possible that the murder he'd contacted me about was actually just a rumor, a fiction.
No, John said there was little doubt in his mind that it was true.
And then, by way of explanation, he launched into this parable.
Let me tell you something I saw one time.
I should admit that at the time, this story was completely lost on me.
Me and Roger Price had went up to the truck, stopped together to get a little dinner.
We came back by and we was passing by the South 40 trailer park.
So Roger's one of these dudes.
He's a darn transmission mechanic.
He's not really talkative.
He's a good dude, but he just, you know, he only has one tooth, and it's really amusing to see how he can balance a cigarette on that one tooth.
The whole time he's talking, that cigarette is just bouncing around all over that one tooth.
