John Jennings - His IFOD, OCD, Plant-Based Eating, Investing and Coronavirus
John Jennings
John Jennings is someone you want to know. He is fascinating and not in a weird way, in a lovely, Dr. Seuss kind of way. He deserves to be famous, though he doesn’t care about fame, even though he is worthy of it and your attention.
He writes something called the IFOD. The interesting fact of the day! His daily thoughts often tickle the brain into an active state. They are meaningful, relevant, poignant, and thoughtful.
Does IFOD pay the bills? I think not. So what does Jennings do for work? Uh, he’s a big deal. John is President and Chief Strategist of The St. Louis Trust Company, a leading multi-family office. This means he helps the ultra-affluent. Unlike most in the wealth management, he deserves a lot of respect.
And if that’s not enough, John is an adjunct faculty member at Washington University’s Olin School of Business where he teaches in the Wealth and Asset Management masters program. John is also a Forbes contributor, a lawyer by training, a hardcore vegan and a loving husband and dad.
Enjoy this wide-ranging conversation covering: Lawyers who aren’t lawyers, John’s IFOD, Committing to a plant-based/Vegan diet and how it connects to solving John’s fight with OCD, Investment thinking and what the ultra-rich struggle with, Coronavirus and what napping has to do with success.
