RE-RELEASE: Ray Dalio, who just tragically lost his son Dec 19, 2020

Show notes

From Zibby: I woke up this morning to the horrific news that Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, father of four, grandfather, philanthropist, and author of PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS about which I interviewed him last January, had tragically lost his 42-year-old son in a car accident. I've never met Ray in person. I didn't even know his oldest son's name until this morning. But I am shaken with grief knowing how much pain Ray and his entire family must be in now. He has already tweeted about his loss and kindly mentioned all the other families reeling from losing a child in the midst of his own sorrow. Ray discussed his four sons, parenting and grandparenting a lot in our conversation. In honor of his horrific loss, I'm rereleasing his episode so you can all get to know him and mourn with him today.
