In my ‘day job’, when I speak with entrepreneurs and ask them what their single biggest financial concern is once they sold their business and received a capital sum, the answer is often ‘I don't want to lose it - I don’t want to mess this up!’
So I started this podcast as a resource for founders and business owners - those who’ve taken the leap, created a business and are now in the process of growing it or possibly already sold and exited.
Anyone who’s started a business knows how difficult it can be, and if you manage to navigate the inevitable rollercoaster ride that being an entrepreneur involves and created some economic success, the last thing you want to do is be exposed to unnecessary risks.
That's why I was delighted to invite Dave Butler to share his wisdom with our community.
Dave is the CEO of what I've often called The Best Kept Secret in Investment - Dimensional Fund Advisors and is one of the smartest people in finance.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him several times and I can tell you that he’s a deeply thoughtful guy, super high integrity and incredibly passionate about helping investors succeed.
During our conversation he explained his journey from playing pro basketball through his early days on Wall Street and now leading Dimensional - and the lessons he’s learned along the way, such as:
Towards the end, after over 30 years in the money management business, and now running a company that manages hundreds of billions of dollars, his personal definition of True Wealth is just brilliant.
Packed full of stories, anecdotes and words of wisdom, you're going to enjoy this conversation - ladies and gentlemen I gave you Mr Dave Butler.
