Motley Fool Money

Most people assume Apple's retail dominance comes from great products. Ron Johnson, the man who actually built the Apple Store alongside Steve Jobs, says that's only half the story. 

Motley Fool host Jason Moser sits down with Ron Johnson — creator of the Apple Store and author of Shop Different — to explore what Steve Jobs really cared about, why Apple's new CEO John Turnus doesn't need to be in a hurry, and what Ron's very public stumble at JCPenney taught him that two decades of success at Target and Apple never could.

Host: Jason Moser

Guest: Ron Johnson

Producers: Bart Shannon, Lauren Budabin

Diesel’s All-Time High

Why do the most credentialed people on earth — the ones who checked every box, Stanford, Goldman, KKR, Harvard Business School — end up making the safest, most probable choices of their lives? In Part 2 of his conversation with Motley Fool's Rachel Warren, Reza Satchu breaks down his three-word framework for spotting real conviction versus hype (authenticity, momentum, inevitability), why capital allocation is the sharpest test of a CEO's judgment, his biggest regret as a founder (waiting too long to fire people), and the "curse of optionality" that keeps talented people from ever committing to anything. He closes with the one small, repeatable habit he wants every investor and founder to build to train their own judgment muscle. 

Host: Rachel Warren

Harvard's Judgment Professor: The Curse of Optionality, and the One Habit That Builds Better Judgment

We all want to eventually get to the point when work is optional. But some people make it a goal to get there much sooner – perhaps even by their 30s or 40s. One fellow who knows a lot about how to do it is Brad Barrett, the co-founder of the ChooseFI website and the co-host of the ChooseFI podcast. In this episode, Robert Brokamp spoke with Brad about:-The evolution of the financial independence, retirement early (FIRE) movement, and why many have dropped the RE and focus on the FI.-The savings rates and spending mindsets that are the foundations of financial independence-Identifying the “why” that motivates you to make sometimes hard choices-The flourishing FI community that crowd-sources ideas and provides support when living a somewhat counter-cultural lifestyle
