We believe that a multidisciplinary approach is essential for every long-term investor. One of the most practical books we have found on the topic is “An Investment Thinking Toolbox”, by Daniel Sun Zhang, published in 2021. In this episode, we have the author on the show to discuss some of the 11 most important mental models for investors, the compounding machines called serial acquirers, and Zhang’s role as Director of Acquisitions at Teqnion.
