The P/V Podcast
Episode 26 / March 2025
They start by discussing Tim’s journey from his early interest in investing to co-founding and leading LivingSocial to joining Graham Holdings (GHC) in 2014. The unique factors of being a family-controlled company and former board member Warren Buffett’s influence are highlighted. They discuss GHC’s three main businesses in education, healthcare and media, along with how the company stays focused as a holding company. Tim also shares his perspective on GHC’s overfunded pension asset and the company’s long-term capital allocation strategy. As always, we like to end episodes with a personal question, so Tim reflects on the lessons learned from his summer job at a US Post Office sorting facility during college.
