Asking A 76 Year Old Shipping Billionaire If It Was Worth It

this is this kind of interview of a genuine person who just sits there with no intention of promoting themselves, their new book, their online course or whatever. Just a man telling his story... no pitch, no marketing storytelling, no "personal branding"... Thank you.

Noah, outstanding that you let Michael speak and not jump in when he is silent, pondering and staying in his emotions. Many thumbs up 👍

One of the most humble people I've ever listened to, despite all of the money... we need more billionaires like this absolute gentleman.

The part where he realizes that being empathetic to others was a gift from his late son was just so sad and beautiful at the same time. The most painful thing for me in the world is probably seeing your kids leave life before you. This interview was truly inspirational.

This wasn't an interview, this was therapy.

Shout out to Noah for letting him talk and not interrupting him during the deep moments

I waited until I was 50 to start my own business. My only regret is waiting until I was 50.

Powerful dialog. I lost a daughter recently tragically and I know exactly how important it is live forward, and in doing so I honor my beautiful,daughter. She would expect me to be courageous and make a difference everyday in my life. It’s a challenge. Really enjoyed his perspective on living with loss. Wonderful interview!

"if you don't have an understanding wife , it's better not to have a wife" Wise Man

The best part of this interview was when he said that that grief enlarges your heart and makes you more aware of suffering. Beautiful interview and a great man. Thank you

his best line was 'if you don't have an understanding wife, it's probably better not to have a wife.'

“The only thing worse than the way that we felt, would be if we didn’t feel that way…” wow…. I was blown away by this gem… this man been through it. Much respect to this man for continuing to move forward

Can you bring this guy back for more? He’s a fountain of wisdom

Im in the tanker industry About 20 years ago a company i worked for chartered out one of Michael's vessels - i was tasked with managing it. The vessel was amazing and so well looked after - my boss at the time told me these guys operate amazing vessels - so nice to watch this. Bravo

A highly emotionally aware gentleman. I could’ve listened to him all day. Thank you for sharing this ❤

Never thought I would cry watching an interview podcast about business. Not only as a father I was greatly moved by the story of the loss of his son and how he dealt with it, but I can totally relate to the motivation to become an entrepreneur. I've been an entrepreneur since the day I got out of college, and never did once my goal was to become no.X richest in where I live. I want a good life of course, but I want to achieve it by doing what I'm passionate about and can have a positive impact on society. So happy to know that a successful person out there (I'm not yet successful) has the same mindset.

The fact that he understood his sons death as a painful gift... ❤... That he understands everything in life is a lesson and instead of falling into deep dispair and staying there he grew and went on to help others is impressive. Takes strength and tenacity.

Thats a real man, a gentleman and a great human being. These are the people that made the USA a power house.

We go through a lot of pains ans end up knowing that we have a life to live. Money isnt something that acquires happiness but its a necessity. Like a pastor said "In all you look for in life if you've your peace you've it all but if you lose your peace you lost it all"
