Ray, almost lives his life like what the Bhagwad Geeta preaches - starts with identifying your nature, basis that identify a vocation that will suit your personality, and work selflessly for a larger cause, when we do that, you don't exhaust your energies in worrying, and channelise that in getting the process right, eventually results would follow and all along be the ' knower of the field ' and not get sucked by the field, play the game beautifully with something called, ' detached attachment '!

Thank you William. I got excited everytime I see you. Ray is one of my heros and it's awesome that you can bring him here.

[MinorityMans]

This is a high quality interview of a high quality person. There are so many powerful lessons in here that bears multiple hearings.

[MessaBlu]

was also curious about dalio's current broad opinion of crypto - appreciate the pushing for that content!

[FashionGirlsAI]

Thank you so much Ray and William. Excellent interview. So much wisdom in so short a video (my perception of it was short as the time passed so quickly!). Enjoyed every second of it. First I have heard of OceanX, so now have it bookmarked. It is great how one interview leads onto research of another subject. Looks very exciting!

Ray Dalio is my hero. What I am having trouble understand is where he stands on putting capital into real estate.

He never really seems to talk about it. It's mostly about the potential doom that's coming and investing in assets, which obviously include housing. My concern is real estate equity is very sensitive to interest rates... Especially in Toronto and Vancouver, two very hot markets that have seen 23% and 9% declines since their huge peaks in early 2022.

Do we have any recent Ray Dalio videos regarding taking on more debt to purchase real estate?

Myself and many others are at a cross roads: continue to leverage and purchase more properties or sell debt in the form of secured loans?

I guess what I'm asking is what is the smart money doing in this situation?

Thank God Mr. Dalio wasn’t in the voyage of OceanGate Titan😮

[ray-mc-l]

Anyone watching this after the recent book came out? I find it harder to trust him now

Didn't you post this podcast one year ago?

24:00 Tracendental Meditation is literally Vipasyana…that stems out from Hindu Yoga practice. But, conveniently ignored giving credit to Hinduism and moved to Ninja and Buddha. Why?
