We've got just the class to help you get back into that learning machine mode. We're stoked to be joined by our good friend Chris Begg, founder of East Coast Asset Management and adjunct Associate Professor at the Helibrunn Center for Graham and Dodd investing at Columbia Business School. He teaches security analysis, perhaps the most legendary investing course in higher education.

In today's class, we offer some historical context on the legacy of the adjunct investing professor, addressing why the practitioner teacher has played such a formative role for so many of the world's greatest investors.

We also share our own teaching journey and the curriculum and guests that have helped make our respective classes so impactful. We even include a preview of our brand new class at Notre Dame, Investing in the Good Life, which is in partnership with the Shedi Family Program in Economy, Enterprise, and Society, and the College of Arts and Letters.

Please enjoy our Back to School Special with our friend and the dawn of compression, Chris Begg.
