Wow. My 'Hidden Monopolies'-framework was featured in one of the leading global investing podcasts this week. The Investor's Podcast's hosts showed how the framework can be applied to assess the strength of a company’s moat from a customer's perspective. Thank you @IrrationalMrkts for featuring the framework on your show !
