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

100% right - they aren't trying to SELL you anything which everyone else online is.

absolutely. And it feels so refreshing @@rkalla

Thank you for recognizing that and putting it out to Michael it’s going to make him so much better in his interviews and make his channel number one

Of course :) Are you the editor or part of his team? @@louduncans3867

Amen!!!!

In all videos you can note that Noah it's old school when respecting older people, he just respect them highly. I believe he has been very touched with this interview

Phenomenal intuition as an interviewer

Funny thing is I'm about 30-40 minutes away from Narragansett, MA. Went there is summer to Narragansett beach.

I noticed that too and it was incredible…I wanted to hear this man’s thoughts. It was coming from his heart. What a moving movement and he allowed for it with his silence. Wow.

“….We don’t deal the cards 🃏 in life … we have to play them….”

Yes, and someone gets to play with an IQ of 130 while you're stuck playing with 90

It is like a poker match, where you fold most of what you're dealt and only play with the really good hand.

Ain't that the goddamn truth

@@user-tb5vd9ez9pTrue. And some people have it even worse than an IQ of 90 like having sicknesses and being born in a poor country.

Happy wife happy life….😂

@@pomskylifenova7344 not anymore.

IF YOU NEVER HAD A WIFE YOU ARE A WISE MAN.

No. Better wife better life!

Same with a husband. No husband no kids but If I die that would suck 😂

ya so much wisdom, i like the plastic band analogy, some days we can take risks but then come back in again to normal and also to do it, a lot of the fear is in our heads, i am new to driving and i decided to travel in the big city today with loads of lanes and highways and motorways, i feared for days about todays trip, but i did it and God saw me through, All Glory to Him.

He needed this more than we did.

A deeply moving and impactful interview. Michael is an absolute treasure to this world.

💯

Everything that is good is indistinguishable from therapy

Reminds me of the book “man search for meaning”, the author survived the nazis concentration campa and observed that the survivors were not the strongest but the ones that found some meaning to want to go on and were able to endure

No is not. Just another billionaire in the world, where everything is almost about profit, greed, and corporatins are killing whole ecosystems (such plankton which produces over 40% of oxygen) in the name of the next year stock price. All about the money. He should have had compasion and understanging way before it, help people along the way, support various charities (animals included), be more pro active with his support (given all the money), and do something good during his life. At the end of his life? Screw it. Just another old guy that suddendly discovered his own mortality, and that money cannot buy everything at the end. And somehow become compassionate about everything else. And suddendly we should be more understanding or feel compasion, considering what is going on in every day life? In a world where people are literally dying because of lack of water, abuse, exploitation, and wars? No. He should have done more, long time ago if he was so compassionate about it. Just another old guy, regreting his life choices, even worse - because he had money to change a lot. Eat the rich, and bring out the guilottine. French had a good approach long time ago.

Great Interview. The Earth is Flat and Globalism is Done. Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris.

Sorry for your loss. Keep on living. ❤

My condolences. Stay strong.

Beautiful interview! I just found this channel and I love it.

That's exactly what I thought. An interviewer who understands it's not about them. Just sat there and let the guy talk. Few and far between.

absolutely! I can learn a lot about "listening" to others (not just hearing) from this video. Noah didn't even look away from Michael when things got deep. Watch 15:46

Let this be a masterclass for many:...Fallon,...

I agree, it’s a tremendous insight and one that I’m going to remember.

Successful trading is all about knowledge, experience and discipline, and you can achieve these virtues from anywhere with access to the markets. You can go anywhere and do anything you want, and still bring home money. What's better than going on vacation AND making money?

This is the problem! Most times people with little or no knowledge of the market try investing by themselves. It once happened to me, then I learned my lesson and contacted a US-based finance consultant by name Eleanor Johnston Sorensen and everything changed. In in the first quarter of this year i made $370k and counting.

first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money

I am surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimonies on CNBC news last week

I'm going trough that too. I'm 50 new entrepreneur. I whish you the best of all.

@@antonioromas3124 Im 20 just starting, i whish both the best of all!

That's interesting facts . One of his strengths Was knowing his business. Thus evidence he ran that business well ❤

Which is very very good bcz a well maintained ship can save crew lives. My friend used to work in big ships also (cargo) he told me how ship maintenance was basically just above passing garde . It was depressing grimmy ship . And god forgive if it ever had to face sea storm .

Thanks for letting us know. Now we know that he walks the walk

@@shivanshna7618 the vessels were ex-Chevron owned and essentially over-specced but as such well built ( in Japan) - he purchased them 2nd hand and continued to maintain to a high spec.

Awesome to have his approach confirmed, thanks for sharing.

Didn't you hear?? Everything he has is because of his inherent white privilege.

Absolutely 💯 and he is so Sober Minded and it's serene and a breath of fresh air. Loved it when he emphasized being in a majority of one and happy 🎉🎉🎉

@@normansindana4366 totally at peace within himself......if more of us could be the same.

A whole lot of elderly are: It's a tragedy of modern society that we no often longer seem to appreciate the substantial life experience of the elderly and instead often see it as a liability, given how fast life/societal advancement now moves. In pretty much all pre-modern societies, people like this man would be greatly respected BECAUSE of all that experience.

@@Wasserkaktus exactly. speaks to the gen that came up with the “ok boomer” insult. Other societies/times past respect elders and values their wisdom and life experiences. Our society mocks them and their intelligence for not knowing with instagram is, like that is actual wisdom. They are instantly idiots and to be ignored, because they’ve lived on this planet the longest . Sad state we are in.

They dont make men these days anymore. : (

His mindset is golden. I would trade him for our current president in a heart beat.

A truly great man. Better than most people and selfish politicians these days.

@@mementomori29231 And industrialists too who are basically sociopaths.

@@glutiusmaximus4006 You mean the CHOSEN ONE?

Totally agree. Really makes you long for a time when you didn’t live in such a commercial-success driven culture, but just a culture where you want a decent life and to make a name for yourself in whatever it is you want to do. Hard work, family, successful business. And he speaks so simply and elegantly about really painful complicated parts of life…

Indeed. However, he did work on wall street which was his way in that the majority of us don't have that avenue.

Yep, he reminds me of my grandparents … people were of a different ilk … now mostly people are vapid

Yes. I remember when my grandparents had 100 ships. It was a better time.

it’s sad now America is all about victims clamoring to suck whatever they can out of the society.

@@Jazz-fg2dm This gentleman talks about the “money culture” and greed being out of control - and the interviewer runs a money channel all about how to get rich. I find this a fascinating irony.

@@rafaelw8115 You are right, having your youth and vitality is priceless. Most people don't appreciate the value of it until they get old and would give up every last dime they have to get it back.

@@rafaelw8115 well of course he’s not happy. He lost his beloved son tragically and violently. I don’t think “body shape” is his top priority. Sounds like you need to re-think your own priorities. Did you even watch the interview??? This man is WELL aware of mortality. Get a clue.

you sound miserable @@rafaelw8115

@@rafaelw8115 Some of what you ask is in the interview. If you want those answers just watch it... especially before commenting and assuming you know hot happy he would be. SMH

Yeah bs right there, he worked in finance and wall street prior. Rich kid with connections get's richer is more like it.

10000000000000% Does he want to trade places with us? I thought so. @@gharm9129

@@jghawk100, that's an incredible idea.

This resonated with me. Also when he said that people have lust but no dreams. Lust is 'luxuria' in Latin. People desire to experience luxury but not to really try out things. Probably because they are discouraged by something. Like I've always been.

Oysters and Pearls - Jimmy Buffett … this man is a pearl, although he may not see himself that way.

Amen to that.

There's no such thing as a good bllionaire. They're all horrible people that steal it from the people that work for them and the general public. They are the enemy.

He is not a billionaire

​@@variszarins In that case, he was mislead by the title, so you can go correct the person that made the title of the video.

thats not the point@@variszarins

I liked that too! Even if the passion doesn't pay the bills, it does provide a fulfilling life.

Making money isn't the hardest to do but maintaining and growing is the hardest to do. Going to school doesn't guarantee that we'll manage wealth. You'll need a constant source of income that never fails so you can keep your income running. Owen Arthur Edgar has been able to give more people a standard of living than most government.

In all you do you'll need to money to achieve a lot of things and maintain your peace. I've worked with Owen Arthur Edgar and it's been highly productive and I still have a lot to do with money because I barely started and obviously I'm not stopping

I can tell from the man's voice that pain he feels knowing that his son is never coming home. It's not always about money. I've known Owen for years now and still tell you that the money I've made enhanced my extravagant lifestyle and most times the card I've acquired isn't what I want afterall so it ends up in the garage.

Not all traders get the opportunity to start trading on a good note,i'm glad that Mr Owen gave me that opportunity. i made about $38,450 in my first trial, I think that's a good note.

wow this is awesome I'm new here how can I reach him?

noah, the best one so far...

Read this just as he said it. a damn good one.

Well I'm sure he was dealt a full house in life. If your a billionaire, you screwed plenty of people over. Karma always has the last say.

"You play the cards you're dealt" is a pretty common saying. He said the same thing a different way.

@@11235but and you do? I've been on the wrong end of plenty of downsizing. All guys like that do is squeeze the people that do the work. Just parasites, billionaires add no value to the world, like an intestinal worm.😡

What I think you need is a Financial Adviser, who can help you get in and out of any stock you buy at any time and you'd sure be in Profit

Who would you recommend?

Would recommend *STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS,* cos she's very proficient in her game I have seen loads of news of

*STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS *, she must really be that good for her to be talked about in such a way. Is she on RU-vid? Please how do I reach her?

RU-vid is a public place. Just do a web lookup using her full name and connect to her official webpage.

Man hitting us with some old man wisdom.

May I ask which investments are good? I've been looking at a few different ones but want others' opinions as well

You can glance her name up on the internet and verify her yourself. she has years of financial market experience!

Thanks so much I was able to find her page and I already leave her a message

Heard many good recommendations about Stephanie Kopp Meeks by some YT channe|s, Seminars and other platforms.

@@Lemariecooper scammers

I have seen many fathers disinheriting their children from family's wealth. So, no. He has accepted his son's death and realistically knows that it's futile trying to give up billion dollars to get him back.

Why being proud of destroying the planet with OIL trading and overconsumption? America has caused most of the OIL Shipping accidents in the world just to get more OIL to get a better army and their population to become more obese with overconsumption 😅

Indeed quite self aware

HE KNOWS HOW TO LOVE WHAT OUR GOD HAS TO OFFER HUMANITY

I miss more people like this

He has 'everything' but lost a young son and his beloved wife to a brain cancer. Do we want his hand or our own?

​@@sunstarsmoonwe are all dealt a tough hand by the end. i think its all about how you want to play it.

I was so touched to see this man be so honest which was deeply compassionate towards his son and all humanity. My father rejected receiving the cremated ashes of his bipolar alcoholic son who committed suicide. Night and day this man and my father …who provided but did not protect his family, did not get real help for his son when he could have the first time he tried to kill himself at 19.

​@@mercyme8014😢😢😢

you took the words out of my mouth

That's true well said❤🎉We as a mothers would that.

Agree

​@@fouzianuura2327,fathers also

Some might say he gave up his son to make that billion dollars.

Fascinating ❤!

I would pay all I have to get my kitty back. She was a Tortie. The vets were no help at all. :(

yea and if i saw Elon Musk trapped in a raft floating on the ocean, about to die of thirst, you think i could charge him $400 million for a cold gatorade>? hed pay it in a second.

I'd take that bet. I'm sure the guy loves his son, but he's also a businessman, lol.

@@bonchidude 😟... Try remember the good times you had with your kitty and take care ❤!

Seriously. One of those quotes that will stick with me for a long time.

Me too man me too.

Why did you have kids then? Let God take control

@@VicDamoneJr82 long story. i had one kid. but didn't have more yet because i'm not in a good relationship. but my kid is great. but i think all parents worry about their kids

because as life is coming to a close, things become more clear. Fancy cars and fancy houses are empty pursuits. Once you get em, they remain fun for only a small amount of time and often soon just become another thing to maintain and often become a burden. To me life is about simply living an honest, fair, empathic life. I always tell my wife, whom I have known since childhood, when I pass if the vast majority of people simply say, " He was a nice guy" , well to me that is a life well-lived.

That's what happens when you become older. You start to see the bigger picture and you can look back at your life. Life also humbles you.

What if it happens when you are young, you wouldn't be able to justify yourself are you just an escapist or you truly see life for what it is. To justify oneself not society, one goes throw all to see if there is something. Wise People like these have guts and they just re-validate that there is nothing in there but It highly impacts the drive which is required to achieve these things and then you do things half-heartedly. Sometimes I wish I could also enjoy bliss of ignorance. Because whatever you do in this ignorance it is also part of, "it is what it is" is when you grow old. "Lost are those who think they found themselves". Life is not about finding out but just to be, play to win but ok to lose.

Right that's very powerful words ❤

I've also heard it said that, "The grief doesn't go away, but it changes." Both are true.

Fact ✅

I lost my 2-month-old daughter over 12 years ago. And I can say, I know precisely what he's going through and more. You can see the goodness and compassion in him. GREAT INTERVIEW!!!

@@RAYSUNITED sorry for your loss.

This gentleman talks about the “money culture” and greed being out of control - and the interviewer runs a money channel all about how to get rich. I find this ironic and fascinating.

​@@calisongbirdvery much a wild juxtaposition, such is life!

You should look up the principle of «coincidence of wants», it explains what money is pretty well, to summarize: It’s to avoid the issue of bartering which occurs when someone has something you want, but they don’t want what you’re trading for it.

as long as you didnt laugh, as chris d elia would say. thats unproffesional

Noah is, by far, one of the best interviewers in this format space.

Perfectly put.

samanthanoellesmith looks like you are a Gold digger

Truth! 🙏💡

❤❤❤❤

Noah is one of the most professional and sharp journalists on the job. Do you also like to watch his interviews?

You only clicked on him because he’s a billionaire. You’re not looking for wisdom you’re looking for money

I was thinking the same. This is so good we've gotta let him know!

​@@justinwyatt8I was thinking something like that. Do old poor people have as much wisdom as him but nobody cares about listening to them because they are poor?.

⁠I do am old and poor ,and is replete with priceless gems of wisdom
