Hello and welcome

0:04

to the fat pitch Podcast, the

0:07

podcast where every week we

0:07

bring you interviews with

0:10

thought leaders, legends,

0:10

luminaries, and even a few

0:13

lunatics from the world of

0:13

alternative investing. I'm your

0:18

host Paul Borowsky chief

0:18

distribution Officer of Sealy

0:21

investment securities. And every

0:21

week I'm joined by my co host,

0:24

Clint Sorenson, founder of

0:24

wealth shield. What do we mean

0:29

by fat pitch podcast? Well, I

0:29

bet everyone's heard a Ted

0:32

Williams, one of the greatest

0:32

baseball players of all time,

0:35

Ted famously described his

0:35

approach to hitting his waiting

0:38

for the fat pitch. What he meant

0:38

was that he would only swing it

0:41

pitches that were in the strike

0:41

zone, and were exactly where he

0:44

wanted them. In other words, he

0:44

was willing to be patient and

0:47

wait for the perfect opportunity

0:47

to take action. Williams knew

0:51

that swinging at every pitch,

0:51

even those outside the strike

0:54

zone would result in a lower

0:54

batting average and missed

0:57

opportunities. But by waiting

0:57

for the fat pitch, Ted was able

1:01

to maximize his chances of

1:01

success. And he certainly

1:05

achieved extraordinary Hall of

1:05

Fame results. That philosophy

1:10

can be applied to many areas of

1:10

life, including investing where

1:13

Warren Buffett, the legendary

1:13

investor and businessman also

1:17

use the term fat pitch to

1:17

describe his approach to

1:19

investing. Just like hitting he

1:19

believed that the key to

1:23

successful investing was in is

1:23

to wait for the right

1:27

opportunity to come along and

1:27

wait for the perfect pitch. In

1:32

Buffett's view of fat pitch was

1:32

a rare and undervalued

1:34

investment opportunity that had

1:34

the potential to generate

1:37

significant returns. He would

1:37

wait patiently and still does

1:41

for these opportunities to

1:41

present themselves and then take

1:44

decisive action when the time

1:44

was right here at the fat pitch.

1:48

As I mentioned, every week,

1:48

we're gonna have a chance to

1:51

chat Clintonite with fantastic

1:51

minds from across the spectrum

1:56

of investing. We don't know if

1:56

it's the fat pitch, perhaps

2:00

they're gonna suggest to us that

2:00

it is time for the fat pitch.

2:03

But I think you're gonna have a

2:03

lot of fun as we do each and

2:07

every week listening and talking

2:07

to some of these terrific

2:10

opportunities and we'll find out

2:10

is it a fat pitch or a ball

2:14

outside the strike zone?
