I have gone through a 46 year long arc of creating a company, building it, and passing it along to be successful without me that was like the life arc of having a child, raising the child, and watching him or her go on to be successful without the parent.

The journey, while filled with challenges, mistakes, and painful moments, has given my partners and me we wanted most—most importantly the meaningful work and meaningful relationships with those who work at Bridgewater and with our clients.
