JCOne year on and the world is a very different place, can we bring Jim back on???

CCLoved this interview. Mr. Pallotta does a great job of highlighting how companies without a business model that makes sense cannot succeed. His bit on the esports market in particular showed that. I'm interested to see his ideas come up for monetizing the esports platforms... as well as Mark Cuban's who has been raving about esports growth.

RAGreat job Brian and an excellent interview, IMO. What about getting his son on? I feel compelled to weigh in just a bit on the comments of Brian going too much into personal background—it’s tricky as I really like to know who is holding forth on issues and giving opinions so I can give the ideas the weight that I think they deserve and to this end I DO need a certain amount of background as I’m unfamiliar with some of the guests. That said, I also want to get as much “meat” as possible from the interview and understand Trader Vic’s position (Victor, hopefully you realize that you operate on a different level than many of we RV’ers and that many of us need more background than you clearly would). Personally, I thought Brian did a nice job on the interview. I am very impressed that Trader Vic is active on the RV platform and always read is comments carefully—we are lucky to have his engagement (he is a legend)! Victor, I do think you were a little hard on Brian, and unfortunately, I think Brian was a bit defensive and perhaps “over reacted” a bit. Hope I didn’t upset anyone by this candid comment—I loved the interview and really respect Trader Vic and Brian Price.

TSExcellent! Thank you for sharing your insights

BSI'd be very curious to see a debate between Jim and Patrick Byrne.

PNi have to disagree on taxes. I don't think corporations should pay any taxes. Tax the money when it is paid out.

TRElon Musk haters are truly sad. If Space X and Tesla both went belly up tonight, I would still consider Elon an amazing success. Elon and his teams have forced major car manufacturers to push hard into EVs and autonomous driving. Ask yourself where would the car industry be if Tesla never existed? Where would space flight be without Space X. Proof of concept is everything. Yes, I do agree that Elon needs to focus more, lay off the Twitter, and stop smoking weed on Joe Rogan. Elon is basically a mad scientist and may seem nuts; but you have to be a little nuts to push the envelope.

SGJust a production related note. The sole of Brian's shoe is most prominent in the side shot that features both people, coming almost center-screen. I know it is a comfortable/relaxed seating posture for the interview, but note that Jim keeps his foot angled down. Not putting blame anywhere but it was disconcerting to me whenever that camera angle was used (quite a lot obviously). Takes away from the great production values in RV's content.

AKVery interesting interview.. JP and family have interests in everything from oil leases to esports to blockchain. Great interview but ... I have to agree with DLS (comments below ) about the new politics we are seeing. They are following the same playbook that proved so successful in the presidential election.

KCGoing to watch this over the weekend Brian but wanted to give you a tip of the hat on Michters=decorum. Well played sir.

CMMy biggest takeaway is how luck plays such a big role in our lives. To think of how different his life would have turned out if he had gotten the job at Polaroid. Being smart and working hard is only part of the formula. Picking the correct fork in the road and timing are also big factors in future success.

PdGreat interview, although I found the attack on AOC to be self serving as every billionaire would rather not pay wealh tax and higher capital gain taxes. The issue is that the 0.1% have taken advantage of the system so much that AOC is just the consequence of crony capitalism. America became as corrupt as Russia, the only difference is that in one country it is legal, they call it lobbying. The 99% are fed up and AOC became their flag bearer, not only because she has the energy of youth but because unlike the dinosaurs in the senate (and many in the house) she gets new technology and uses it brilliantly. To attack her on the basis that she only got 15 or 20 thousand votes is missing the whole point of what is happening by a wide margin. Change is coming. What do you do when the facts change? The pendulum has swung too much in favour of capital, the next couple of decades will see it shift back towards labour. AI & Automation will speed that up. Better have your portfolios correctly positioned...

VSIt is terrific to hear the story of the person. But i believe that should be 10-15% of the interview. The rest should be his view of the future on the markets,the worlds trends ,and some academic thinking about what he believes are the key themes eg. Hyperinflation or depression? I got zero of what to do listening to Brian ?? I believe Real vision is not asking the right questions! A Thumbs down.

TAReally enjoyed hearing about Jim's background, upbringing and success - great story! I bet watching a Celtic game or Roma match with Jim is a lot of fun. Keep pieces like this coming - well done!

DSGreat interview. Mr. Pallotta is an extraordinary man and led a most interesting life. I certainly would be shaking in my boots to bring a business plan him. The interview covered a lot of ground - all of which I enjoyed. Thanks. DLS

TTFantastic conversation with lots of wide ranging opinions to weigh.
-
MMBeen a subscriber since nearly the beginning - this is one of the best. Hugely likeable and insightful guy. Think he may be missing the forest for the trees with regard to AOC - in terms of what she and others signifies more broadly - but otherwise brilliant. Great job Brian.
-
