He called you to greater. </p><p>In this episode, I break down the difference between building better and building greater, and why the reason you can’t rest from the success you’ve built...

Kevin Reilly got to the top of the TV heap. Now he's in AI.
<p>If you watched something on TV that you liked in the past few decades, there’s a good chance Kevin Reilly was involved: at various times he’s held top jobs at FX, Fox, NBC, Turner and HBO Max.</p> <p>But that run ended in 2020, and now Reilly is running Kartel, an AI company that… well, I’m still not entirely sure what it does. (To be fair, as Reilly notes in our chat, it’s a young company that’s still figuring it out itself.)</p> <p>But I really wanted to talk to Reilly to get his POV on T...

Is diversification overrated? Why Alphabet wins? Should you invest 100% overseas?
<p>Here's the uncomfortable truth: The ASX has delivered mediocre returns compared to US markets over the past decade. CBA and CSL - Australia's two biggest companies - are in freefall with a five-day market bloodbath. Banks and miners dominate our index.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Meanwhile, rumours are swirling that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has bought into Alphabet (Google). Why? Search dominance. YouTube's advertising empire. Cloud growth. AI infrastructure leadership. Alphabet represents everything the ASX isn't: tech-forward, globally dominant, and diversified across multiple revenue streams.</p> <p>So the big questions: Is diversification overrated? Should Aussie investors just...
