#291: In April 2023, Emily sat down next to an elder couple in their 80s in Florence, Italy and ended up striking a meaningful conversation with them. To the point that they invited her and her friend for hot coca after dinner to continue the conversations.

This couple has been married for 60 years, while also building a fortune well over $500M through the sale of three companies and the husband now invests as a shareholder in other companies in UK and overseas, while leading his own philanthropy organization to give back to seriously ill children.

A little more than a year later, Emily reconnected with them in-person, this time, in England where they reside, and had the opportunity to stay with them for a few days and soak in the perspectives they had to share on life in their 84 years of living.

Topics discussed:

• Ultimate question to ask yourself to determine if that is truly your life partner (more than one couple shared this)
• Key ingredient to career and personal success
• How true wealth is built and rarely ever that flashy externally
• Importance of having your own life as a woman, outside of being a wife, mother, etc.
• How marriage can last after 50+ years of being together (and the foundation of it)
