On a recent trip to New York, I had several meetings with colleagues and friends.

While I was meeting with my publisher in the bar area of a steakhouse, I overheard a few guys chatting at the bar.

We have 12 salestraders in Boston…

The next day, I was meeting with a music industry executive. As I walked to my table, I overheard the conversation at another able.

So, what percentage of your portfolio….

Both of these conversations made me smile.

Made me think of my past life working at a global investment bank.

I also smiled because I’m glad I’m not having those conversations anymore. 😊
