Unprecedented Returns: Practical Approach | Long-Term Investing w/ Tom Gayner

In today’s episode, we sit down with legendary investor, Tom Gayner, Co-CEO of Markel Corporation. Markel has been referred to as a “Baby Berkshire”, because it is structured similarly to Berkshire Hathaway, and has produced stellar results. Tom has been producing investment returns in the high teens for Markel Corp for over 30 years and was kind enough to give us incredible insight into his investment strategies and philosophies.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:
- Why investing is sometimes more “art” than science
- How a practical approach can lead to unprecedented returns
- How a frugal life leads to fulfillment
- Tom’s thoughts on index funds
- And much much more!

Great interview for the regular guy, thank you

Your sketch makes, Tom look like like a young old man 😂. I have a similar upbringing, my dad took me to many of his investor meetings, and as I got older it became a thing for us to do before his passing. My pops was a long distance hauler in his younger days, but had couple hauling businesses, throughout NY, Florida, and Nee Mexico. That being said, we would take some hauls, my dad would say it’s learning the difference working hard and smart. Anyway, Tom, is humble, and I could see that from the start of his interview, I have watched him on googles platforms, and others, I think his strategy is just as good as anyones and he can offer great information.

...the questions were great too. Overall his head is in the right place i liked Tom... and i liked the diversification question. I also disbelieve in index investing vs good stock picking.

great!

[@CRUISEGRAFFITI]

Wow another podcast before this one tipped me off to markel, I think it was a pick on one of the masterminds. Either way I missed this interview and I can’t believe it, better late than ever. Bought the dip 2020 and haven’t looked back

[@TheInvestorsPodcastNetwork]

Glad it was valuable to you, Colin!

[@JD-im4wu]

great interview although I don't agree with his views on ebitda, i think for investors, ebitda is no good, better to highlight the costs / depreciation etc in the 10k instead. Also thinking like an investor again you want to get the entire picture of debt to earnings, u dont want to ommit anything out of the balance sheet. Ebitda is garbage!

[@forrestgump624]

Does Markel offer internships?

[@StonkSlayd]

without a doubt...it's a billion dollar company. but no way you're gonna get that job.
