How do you turn $5 into $15.4 billion?
That’s what today’s guest has done and is here to share exactly how he did it.
Ray Dalio, welcome to The Diary Of A CEO.
Ray is the founder of Bridgewater Associates (one of the largest hedge funds in the world!)
He manages over $150 billion and has predicted some of the biggest economic shifts of the last 50 years. He’s advised presidents, central banks, and world leaders.
We cover:
- Why do most people stay broke? - What are the dangerous myths about wealth and success? - Can the 80-year cycle really predict a collapse? - Is America in decline while China quietly wins? - What are the psychological tricks behind building billions?
Ray really opened up and made everything so simple and accessible. His principles are iconic, and they’ve had a profound impact not only on me but on every one of my closest friends.
We’ve all taken lessons from his work that have improved our decision-making and our happiness, and that’s rare.
I walked away from this conversation learning so much from him, and I think it’s going to be one you want to share with someone after you’ve listened too! Get access to exclusive Diary of a CEO content: https://bit.ly/circle-ytshorts
