Description
Insurance sounds dull — until you realize it’s Warren Buffett’s hidden engine. Berkshire Hathaway collects premiums today, pays claims later, and uses the time in between — called float — as near-free capital to invest in great businesses. It’s not debt; it’s precision timing turned into a moat.
This episode breaks down how to build your own version of float, even without an insurance company. Offer annual prepay incentives, park prepayments safely, and track how long cash sits before delivery. Manage it wisely, and timing becomes leverage.
Because in business, control of cash flow is control of destiny.
