AnnouncementsBy Joshua KennonMay 6, 2019Leave a comment I have decided that one of my personal projects is going to be revisiting the thousands of posts we put into the private archive prior to launching our asset management firm and, to the extent reasonably possible, release them back to the public blog if we feel they might be useful from an academic, entertainment, and/or historical perspective.  NOTE THAT THIS POST WILL BE FEATURED AT THE TOP OF THE BLOG HOMEPAGE WHILE THE PROJECT IS ON-GOING. NEW POSTS WILL APPEAR BEHIND IT UNTIL THEN.

The collection, which was limited to only 95 copies, contains the full 52-tracks found in the game. The moment we learned it existed, we knew we had to have it. After some searching, in June 2020 we were able to track down one of those boxed sets. We immediately bought it for our music collection.

There is just so much joy in it.

The latter is predicated upon a fundamental misunderstanding that ignores the scientific reality of what we are facing.  Looking at subsequent developments in the pandemic, it s time to face facts based upon all available presently-known factors. Read more Apr72020 What I Am Currently Reading About Me It’s always odd to try and fit your life story into a few lines but here is the short version: My name is Joshua Kennon.  I’m 36 years old.  My husband, Aaron, and I met and fell in love as teenagers.  Neither of us ever even dated anyone else we knew we were going to spend the rest of our lives together.  After graduating from high school, we moved from the Midwest to the East Coast where we studied classical music and a wide range of liberal arts.Later, we returned to the Kansas City area to be near family.  During this period, which spanned nearly thirteen years and lasted from our early twenties into our mid-thirties, we started several Internet companies and spent much of our time semi-retired, managing our own wealth thanks to the financial independence those businesses helped us achieve.  I also wrote a lot during those years.  In fact, the odds are good that you’ve directly or indirectly encountered me many times without realizing it.  For nearly 17 years, I was the Investing for Beginners Expert at what was then known as About.com.  I am the co-author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Investing, 3rd Edition.Due to requests from family and friends to manage their capital alongside our own wealth, Aaron and I decided to exit retirement and launch Kennon-Green Co.®, a fiduciary global asset management firm that specializes in helping affluent and high net worth individuals, families, and institutions invest their capital around the world.  In 2018, as part of our journey to have kids through gestational surrogacy, and the spin-up of Kennon-Green Co., we moved to Newport Beach, California.These days, we spend our time running and growing the firm, as we plan on it being the institution through which we pass on our own family’s wealth to our future children and grandchildren.  The experience, particularly meeting such incredible people, has been one of the most rewarding of our lives.  It’s a rare thing to have a career that allows you to not only do what you love for a living, but to do it with people you admire, respect, and like.  We feel like two of the most blessed guys in the world.This personal blog is a place where I talk about some of the things that interest me – cooking, finance, entrepreneurship, politics, history, economics.  I’m really proud of the community we’ve built, in no small part because the typical reader around here is exceptional.  Please note that in preparation of the launch of the asset management business, and to better protect our family s privacy, Aaron and I removed thousands of articles, posts, and comments from this blog, reducing it to a fraction of its former size.  This means if you are looking for something that existed prior to us coming out of retirement, the odds are good it simply isn t available anymore.
