Ray Dalio (Part 2): Principles of Happiness, Grief, and What Money Can’t Buy

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · 2025-05-23

In part two of Nicole’s conversation with Ray Dalio (founder of Bridgewater Associates and architect of the All Weather Portfolio), they move beyond the markets and into the personal. While part one tackled the economy, inflation, and portfolio strategy, this episode is all about legacy, happiness, and the limits of what money can buy. Ray opens up about the worst moment of his life, how he defines success, and what he hopes the next generation takes from his journey. It’s a rare side of one of the world’s most influential investors—and a conversation that will stick with you long after the episode ends.
