In this 11th installment of the 'Mental Tips, Tricks & Life Hacks' series on Rule Breaker Investing, host and author of *Rule Breaker Investing* shares seven practical, often playful insights designed to improve thinking, simplify life, and foster joy. The episode kicks off with two powerful stock-picking frameworks: the 'Snap Test' (would the world notice if the company vanished?) and the 'Cola Test' (is the company the 'Coca-Cola' of its industry with no real 'Pepsi' competitor?). These tools help investors identify true 'Rule Breaker' companies with lasting impact. The host then shares a series of life-enhancing hacks: a $10 dishwasher magnet to distinguish clean from dirty dishes, the thought-provoking question 'What do you believe that most people don’t believe?' to spark deep conversation, and the life hack of 'dialing down the size' of projects to avoid overwhelm and build momentum through small wins. He also encourages listeners to learn juggling—a skill 25% of Americans can do—with a simple book and beanbags. A mental tip on 'always taking the high road' is reinforced with wisdom from Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett, Arthur Brooks, and Sam Horn, emphasizing integrity and emotional maturity. Finally, the episode closes with five board game recommendations—Rebel Princess, Far Away, Rebirth, Crokinole, and Magical Athlete—each chosen for their fun, accessibility, and ability to bring people together. The episode blends investing wisdom with everyday practicality and human connection.
