<p>One of my very favorite annual traditions is conducting this interview with my friend <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/scuttleblurb">David Kim</a>, aka <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scuttleblurb.com/">Scuttleblurb</a> (🕵📝).</p><p>His investment research journal/company deep dives/business explorations were a key inspiration for this 🚢 steamboat. While the format is different, I hope there are similarities in the spirit. And I <em>know</em> that he has influenced and inspired many others — especially the good ones!</p><p>In our conversation this year — <em>the fifth one!</em> — we explore <strong>the State of Scuttleblurb 📊</strong>, <strong>his analyses of key industries and companies from the past year 🏭</strong>, and <strong>our perspective on the market looking back at 2024 and heading into 2025 🔮</strong>. We also discuss the <strong>evolution of his research process and the new tools he's adopted 🛠️</strong>.</p><p>I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed having the conversation!</p><p><em>Photo: David and </em><a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/scuttleblurb/status/1869052623539900668"><em>his brother Rich</em></a><em>.</em></p><p>If you missed them, here are the previous four annual interviews I did with David:</p><p>* 📄 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.libertyrpf.com/p/interview-with-david-kim-aka-scuttleblurb">Interview with David Kim a.k.a.
