Forbes Interview: Warren Buffet and Jay Z

This Forbes interview with Warren Buffet and Jay Z is so very odd! Major props to whoever thought up this old versus new, multi-millionaire/billionaire mash-up interview but, unfortunately I don't think it worked quite the way it was supposed to!

Warren Buffet and Jay Z both come across as very approachable and amiable, but there's just not much connection between how they each made their fortunes. Yes, they're both very capable, smart businessmen - but they just don't relate to one other. Jay Z tries to bring together their two disparate business philosophies to bridge the gap between their styles but it just comes across as forced and confusing.

I was really excited to watch this interview, but quickly found myself disappointed. Not only because it was a little boring, but because Warren Buffet and Jay Z's fortunes were developed in one similar way - completely and totally from their singular talents. As a viewer, I found myself longing for their success without any actionable nugget or idea as a take away.

However, it cannot be denied that Jay Z and Warren Buffet are some of the grittiest of the gritty. They both keep their heads down and will work until they die.

So strange, this idea!
