What a brilliant, compassionate, hard working man - you got the best of both your parents! Peter, you're such a great speaker - you should have a pod cast!

[@HaedenBeck]

I like how he has some of the same mannerisms and movements as his father.

[@ivanlam1304]

This is what emotional intelligence looks like

[@jimchen6236]

He's more honest about Warren Buffett than anybody I know of.

[@Deelitee]

His tone of voice is so comforting to listen to! Also, I now know that I want a MOAT! 😅 🏝️ 🏰 🐊

[@JenPurple2022]

He inherited his Dad,s focus and put in music

[@talkwench340]

So nice to feel the love they shared as a family. Insightful, interesting.

[@woodsonjane]

Great interview that give insights of Warren and Susan’s life in many ways. Thank you for sharing !

[@Tamarahope77]

He sounds very well-adjusted and emotionally attuned. He was also quite transparent about the role of his mother in his father's growth, but I wonder if it's ideal for a partner to be the other's "rescuer", "social worker", or "therapist". It was almost inevitable that Susan would leave, after years of service, to look after her own needs.

[@mark11967AD]

The son is very impressive as an articulate, mature, and decent man. Usually only when having two nice parents which is rare causes someone to be this wise and kind and balanced. You watch enough of Warren and you see the same decency but you also sense that he doesn’t want any BS either meaning he’s not going to let anyone f him around. It would be interesting to see he and Charlie talking when they’re encountering some true BS from someone dishonesty, corruption etc. From an ethical standpoint they both would have made valuable public servants. When there was such a thing.

[@Deelitee]

Yes! Would love to hear that too. If you’ve found it since posting this, please share. :)

Magnificent family and values

[@kirakiratikorn9480]

Very nice family :)

[@eddieleejoseph2998]

I dont like the silent questions as a listener it takes away some context.

[@samussamus2501]

Hi Everybody!

[@Shafeek258]

Hi, you good

[@13snoopy]

I am astonished at how a person who commits adultery can be held in high regard by the very offspring who watched her adulterous ways in person.

[@joshgullicksrud3444]

According to your make believe

[@DrJohnnyJ]

It must be hard to not understand other people like she could.

[@13snoopy]

@@joshgullicksrud3444 His wife left him and took up with a tennis pro. They traveled the world together. Go read Snowball. It’s in the book.
Buffett is a brilliant investor, but he’s had an unusual personal life. This is all very old news.

[@joshgullicksrud3444]

@@13snoopy ah yeah, but you have your rules and he has his, keep drinking your holy kool aid

[@13snoopy]

@@joshgullicksrud3444 You go earn 500 million by the time you’re 40, then watch your wife walk out then constantly screw around on you while you write her huge checks whenever she wants one. Then take that wife to large gatherings and act as if you’re a couple. If you don’t find that beyond weird then you and I will just have to agree to disagree.

[@amirjon]

Interesting that no questions were asked about his step-daughters and their relationship with Buffett. Maybe it was offside.

[@mykhailohohol8708]

I might have seen a movie with him about a clown..

[@gormenfreeman499]

What no way, he does look like the Joker.😆

[@georgesotiriou7051]

Peter comes across as very intelligent. Shame he never caught the bug for investing.

[@ruvimg]

Why he did something he loved that’s what matters

Money is energy is a great quote
