I've read all of Ray Dalio's books and watched nearly every video he's published. I'm truly grateful that someone like Ray Dalio exists.

Btw I know some listeners of the pod are asking to go back to interviewing more entrepreneurs (which Ray is one obviously), but my personal take is that it’s been interesting watching this podcast evolve over the years and the balance you guys take of talking to successful people from all walks of life. Ultimately you guys gotta interview people you find interesting cause if not, your audience will be able to tell. Tim Ferriss has always taken that approach and I think that’s why he’s lasted so long - he pretty much interviews people he wants to and if his audience likes it, great. If not, at least he got an interesting conversation out of it.
