She received a BBA in finance and an MBA from the University of Texas in 1978 and 1980. Since 2008, Schroeder has worked as a columnist for Bloomberg News.    Synopsis   The Snowball is a biography of one of the most respected men within the financial world.

The outcome is a book that provides financial advice and shows how finance can give people life advice.     StoryShot #1: Warren Buffett Benefited From a Simple Life Image   Buffett benefited from the media being intrigued by his simple life. His public image was that of a simple man who seemed genuine and trustworthy. The reality was quite different, though. Buffett has always lived a complicated life. The reason he was seen as genuine was that he used simple words and spoke passionately. He also had a loyal group of friends that made him seem more like your average man.    The reality is that Buffett was also a highly effective businessman. This meant he couldn’t be friends with everyone and earned a business reputation as being tough and hard-nosed. This ability to appeal to the media while also being financially successful made him one of the most reported businesspeople.   That said, Buffett did enjoy prioritizing the simple things in life. He would often be invited to the Sun Valley Conference, a conference for the economic elite. Many got carried away in the gossip of noticing who had been disinvited since the last year’s conference. Buffett was more interested in the beauty of the Sun Valley. He saw it as a perfect family vacation spot. He used this time to reunite with his whole family during one of the family’s rare times.      StoryShot #2: Buffett’s Inner Confidence Helped Him Succeed  StoryShot #3: Buffett Followed in His Family’s Footsteps StoryShot #4: The Lack of Warmth from Buffett’s Parents Pushed Him Toward Numbers StoryShot #5: Buffett Learned How to Overcome Adversity From a Young Age    This episode was first published in July 2021.
