Our teacher today is Katie Koch. Katie is the President and CEO of the TCW Group, a storied firm with over 200 billion in assets under management and a fascinating 50-year legacy as a pioneer in the investment industry. Katie just took the TCW reins in 2023 after more than 20 years at Goldman Sachs. She joined Goldman right after college as the self-proclaimed least capable person in the firm and rose to become chief investment officer of their 300-billion-dollar public equity business.  Please enjoy our class with the wonderful force multiplier, Katie Koch.

Hosted by Colossus, Joys of Compounding moves far beyond a standard business podcast. It operates more like an ongoing conversation, or a 'podclass,' where the fundamental principle of compounding-the powerful effect of small, consistent gains over time-is examined through a remarkably wide lens. You'll hear from legendary investors and entrepreneurs, of course, but the dialogue intentionally expands to include thinkers from entirely different disciplines: top academics, elite athletes, and visionary artists. Each guest brings a unique perspective on how incremental progress, relentless learning, and patient dedication build into extraordinary outcomes, whether in building wealth, mastering a craft, or developing a meaningful life. The discussions are deep, personal, and often surprising, revealing the universal patterns that lead to lasting success. This isn't about quick tips or market noise; it's about the foundational habits and mental models that create value that multiplies. By exploring these diverse stories, the podcast provides a richer, more nuanced understanding of how compounding works in practice, offering listeners not just investment insight but a broader framework for thoughtful growth. Tune in for conversations that challenge conventional wisdom and illuminate the profound joys found in a long-term, compounding approach to work and life.
