With investing, I have watched my mom paint and talk about painting for the last 20 years, but I hadn't personally picked up a paintbrush in years. And in that time, my life has changed quite dramatically from a high school student to running my own investment firm. The core aspect of my role as an investor now is to make those decisions, and the Magic Grid made me start thinking about the language of our investing frameworks as a firm. I think the wonderful nature of the Magic Grid allows for 2 really important things. So one, that painters of all different mediums and styles can create visually engaging paintings that truly sing. And 2, that individual painters get faster at making decisions of color and texture and value at an increasing rate.
