Have you ever wondered what makes the greatest investors in the world not just wealthy, but truly fulfilled and happy?

Well, today, we’re going to explore that question with someone who’s had the unique opportunity to sit down with the legends of the investing world – best selling author, William Green, the author of Richer, Wiser, Happier: How the World’s Greatest Investors Win in Markets and Life,

But what’s fascinating about William’s work is that it’s not just about investing. It’s about uncovering the principles and mindsets that can lead to a richer life—financially, yes, but also emotionally and intellectually.

Our chat emphasised that true wealth isn't just about financial success; it also involves achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.
