Anderson Cooper's Surprising Insights on Life, Wealth and Career Success

Typically, I don’t like to take advice from rich, famous people—particularly rich, famous people who were born into wealthy families.

So, when I saw that Anderson Cooper was the guest on The Prof G Podcast (one of my favorites), I almost decided to skip the interview.

I am glad I didn’t because, holy crap did this interview surprise me. This interview covers a huge range of issues, from what it’s like being born into a wealthy family, how to deal with truly devastating loss early in life and how to approach building a successful and fulfilling career.

I would highly recommend you listen (link below).

If you want to skip the fluff and get right to the good stuff.

• Start at the 16-minute mark.

• At the 26 minute mark, he starts plugging his book; skip ahead to the 35-minute mark if you want to avoid that, and the interview wraps up around the 54-minute mark.

PS: If you are interested, I created a bunch of personal finance spreadsheets and have made them available for free on Making of a Millionaire right here.
