 As the Chief Investment Strategist at Motley Fool Asset Management, Bill Mann keeps an eye on investment opportunities around the world. 

But his education in business analysis started when he was growing up in North Carolina and working at one of the best-known fast food restaurants in the country. Bill discusses:

• Buying a Russian diesel engine company in the early 1990s

• A purchase he regretted almost immediately

• Splurging on live sports and much more.
