RWH061: How To Thrive No Matter What w/ Arnold Van Den Berg

You're listening to TIP. Hi folks, it's a great pleasure to be back with you on the Richer Wiser Happier podcast. My guest today is the great Arnold Vandenberg, who, as many of you know, is a really a central figure in the final chapter, the epilogue of Richer, Wiser, 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. He's a r a really wonderful human being, a very successful, very smart, self taught investor who's had a great record over fifty years at his firm century management. But at the same time, he's also done an 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 as somebody who grew up on the same street as Anne Frank in Amsterdam as a Jewish kid in 1939 at 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. So it's an extraordinary story. I've had Arnold on the podcast a 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 um 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 over the last year or so. that I really wanted to bring these insights to you today on the podcast.
