Thomas Chua writes, hosts a podcast, runs a stock research service, he is the founder of SteadyCompounding.com , where he writes about lessons from super investors, stock analysis and market insights.

Compounding is a fascinating concept, so simple, yet so hard to embrace. I lately spoke about it with Pieter Slegers from Compound Quality and Gautam Baid, the author of The Joys of Compounding. Both have been guests on Talking Billions.

The word comes from Latin, componere which means to put together.

In finance — compounding is a powerful investing concept that involves earning returns on both your original investment and on returns you received previously.

Thomas is a very bright, thoughtful student of investing and the markets; he has quite a story to tell, which he shared with me.

You are about to hear about how he left the safety of his proverbial iron rice bowl and made his dreams come true against all odds — a story of minimizing regrets, taking risks, making a jump, and getting outsized results…

He tells me about the fascinating idea of the S-Curve of Life.

Thomas shares with me that It’s difficult to fail if you love the work you do. It made me think of the work I do, and how it’s my only professional passion. There is nothing else I’d rather do.

In a busy, noisy world, filters matter; my guest reminds me that “You become what you feed your mind.” —

I really like his thoughts on playing long term games with long term people. Life is too short for anything else.

Thomas shares his experience teaching investing in a village.

Stay tuned until the end, when my wonderful guest takes on two questions, the $3 question and the $30,000 question.

I greatly enjoyed talking to Thomas and learning from him, I hope you do too, please help me welcome - Thomas Chua.
