A guest describes calling Warren Buffett and getting through to him directly for an hour and a half conversation. Buffett was exactly as he appears on TV: kind, interested, and generous with his time. The story challenges the assumption that meeting your hero will disappoint you.
Says, oh yeah, call him whenever, he'll pick up. And so I call and I get put right through and it's just Warren freaking Buffett on the phone. And basically he said, oh yeah, I'm not doing anything. I can talk for as long as you want. And I just got to pick his brain for an hour and it was insanely inspiring, right? Like this guy, he was exactly who you'd expect him to be. I find with a lot of these guys, it's like, don't meet your heroes. And, uh, they're not who they appear to be on TV. He's available all day. He talked to me for an hour and a half and he was just the nicest guy. He's exactly like he was on his CNBC interviews, showed a ton of interest in what I was doing. And like, I literally just like grilled him for like 30 minutes. Was he on a landline? Yeah, he's definitely on a landline. And it was just, it's always, it's always really nice when someone is what you hope they'd be.
