all-in

one of the (very few) highlights of All-In so far in 2025 was guest Cyan Banister: thoughtful, well-articulated angel investor with an incredible life story.

i listened to her ~3hr episode with Tim Ferriss per Friedberg’s recommendation and didn’t regret a single minute.

One of the more depressing things about her is that she didn’t start investing until she got a man and he told her to. Bleak implications about the inherent motivations of women rly. The older I get the more I realize all the stereotypes are true and I can’t resent them when I don’t fit them, it doesn’t make them untrue

It’s bleak because we are weak and overly reliant on men

why is this bleak? much bleaker if the man told her *not* to invest.

would it kill you to look for the silver lining sometimes

Maybe. I just read this Baumeister speech and was very influenced by it is my bias

maybe its a class distinction?, (I have no idea about their backgrounds). Working class folk are suspicious of the stock market in general and prefer either saving in hard cash or property.

He was already an investor and basically made it trivial to take the action.

everyone has different focuses and there is nothing wrong with getting new ideas from others. You say she needed to be told to invest but plenty of people are told to invest not everyone chooses to take action
