I Left My Heart …

Listen on: iTunes | Google Podcasts | Online February 2018 I had a short meeting in San Francisco on Sunday. I absolutely hate travelling alone, and this time I was joined by daughter Hannah and my aunt. I always look for an excuse to visit San Francisco. We arrived on Sunday morning. I had a business lunch meeting in Sausalito […]

This Is What Happiness Feels Like

Listen on: iTunes | Google Podcasts | Online My daughter Hannah had her bat mitzvah this Sunday (see below). It was one of the most important days of her life.

Instilling a love of classical […]

Santa Fe Revisited 2015

Last year I wrote about (what has become) our annual trip to Santa Fe. The first two years it was grandfather, father, and son (my oldest, Jonah, who is 14). This year, the “boys” trip was turned into a “boys +1” adventure as we were joined by my nine-year-old daughter, Hannah.

Me, My Boy and Warren Buffett

I have a confession to make. I want my company to someday be called Katsenelson & Kids. That doesn’t have to be its official name, but I want to work with my kids. I want my kids to be value investors. I know I am supposed to want them to be doctors or nuclear physicists.
