The one constant in life is change, even for great investors. Earlier this year The Motley Fool Co-Founder, David Gardner announced that he was changing his focus. As he told fellow \\u201cFools\\u201d as the global online investing community members jokingly refer to themselves: 

\\n

\\u201c....where you place your focus in life matters, and now I am choosing to shift my focus from the stock market and invest time in other endeavors. After nearly 30 years focused on publicly picking stocks, this wasn\\u2019t a decision I took lightly.\\u201d

\\n

It wasn\'t a decision The Motley Fool team, members, followers and at least one member of the financial press, namely me, took lightly either, which is why I wanted to talk to David.  

\\n

The good news is Gardner is not totally leaving the fold. He is Chairman of The Motley Fool Foundation, devoted to bringing \\u201cfinancial freedom to all.\\u201d

\\n

He remains Co-Chairman of The Motley Fool with fellow Fool Co-Founder and younger brother Tom, a very successful investor in his own right, who has also been managing and growing the business as CEO. 

\\n

David Gardner will continue as Chief Rule Breaker \\u201cfor life\\u201d he expects, and he will continue his weekly podcast, \\u201cRule Breaker Investing,\\u201d in which every ten weeks he recommends what he calls a 5-stock sampler theme, culled from The Motley Fool\\u2019s Stock Advisor and Rule Breakers picks. 

\\n

I asked Gardner to take us through his Rule Breakers rules. What are the lessons he\\u2019s learned from three decades of active investing?
