Hi folks, it's a great pleasure to be back with you on the Richard Weiser Happier podcast.
My guest today is the great Arnold Vandenberg,
who as many of you know is a really central figure in the final chapter,
the epilogue of Richard Weiser Happier.
And as I mentioned there, for me,
he's really in many ways the embodiment of what a successful, happy, truly abundant life looks like.
And there's nobody really in the investment world I admire more than Arnold and hopefully in today's episode you'll see why is a really wonderful human being a very successful very smart self-taught investor who's had a great record over 50 years at his firm century management.
But at the same time he's also done extraordinary job of building great relationships with his family with friends being a great philanthropist helping countless other people.
And he's done all of this despite incredible odds against him or somebody who grew up on the same street as Anne Frank in Amsterdam as a Jewish kid in 1939.
The start of World War two and spent the first couple of years of his life in hiding and then was smuggled into an orphanage
while his parents were in Auschwitz it's an extraordinary story.
I had on the podcast couple of times in the past and I'm thrilled to have him on again today this wasn't.
an episode that we had planned to do.
And then we changed course because he had been a guest speaking to my richer, wiser,
happier masterclass and had been such an extraordinary guest and had talked about some things that I think are so important that he had realized of the last year or so that I really wanted to bring these insights to you today on the podcast.
So I hope you'll find this as helpful and inspiring and thought provoking as I've found it.
Speaking of the Richard Weiser happier masterclass I want to just tell you very quickly about this venture that I've got planned that's coming up which is.
As many of you know last year I had my first cohort of the Richard Weiser happier masterclass which was a one year course.
And it was such a beautiful experience for me and I hope for the people in the group that I'm launching my second ever Richard Weiser happier masterclass which starts in November.
