Lunch With The Legend

[Chris Seveney]

Today I had the opportunity to grab lunch with the legend himself, @Jay Hinrichs. For those who don’t know Jay, he’s someone who’s been around the block more than a few times, the largest contributor to the forums and still has the drive and sharpness you hope to have after decades in the game.

We talked shop. Swapped stories. Shared Lessons Learned.

This is one of the most overlooked forms of investing: buying someone lunch who’s seen more than you ever have. It’s not transactional. It’s not about getting secrets. It’s about building real relationships and having candid conversations with people who’ve weathered the cycles, made the mistakes, and stayed in the game long enough to learn what actually works.

Whether you’re just getting started or managing a growing portfolio, the value of your network is your multiplier. Relationships compound. Experience shared saves years. And generosity, on both sides, moves the entire community forward.

If you’re thinking about reaching out to someone you respect, do it. Offer to buy them lunch. Show up prepared. And listen more than you talk.

Best investment you’ll make this month.

PS: Thanks Jay and great to meet you!

I’m always up for a meal with somebody that actually knows what they’re doing. :-)
