#QUOTE
“Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble” ― Warren Buffett
And when the right opportunities do come, take advantage of them. Most people are worried about being wrong, but it is better to be right 10% of the time versus missing 100% of opportunities by sitting on the sidelines.
The only way to know when it is the right opportunity is to know what to look for without pure luck.

I hope this moves the healthcare system from reacting to emergencies and solving with pills to proactively measurement and optimization.
Check out the measurements here.

Amazon Aggregators: Buying Third-Party Sellers
//businessbreakdowns
When I started selling on Amazon in 2015, I had no idea that the industry would get as big as it is today. I figured that Amazon would completely close out 3rd-party sellers and become a complete walled garden. Now, it looks like Amazon is completely embracing 3rd-party sellers, which has led to Amazon Aggregators (one of the most well-known is Thrasio), which buy these 3rd-party sellers in order to optimize their products.
In this podcast, they break down the $8b investment in this $50b industry.
