| I’m proud and pleased that Harvey Schwartz, the remarkably successful CEO of @OneCarlyle is talking openly about mental illness in his family because mental illness is pervasive (it’s estimated that 22% of the U.S. population experiences some form of it), is badly misunderstood, and should be addressed openly, like heart disease and cancer are. Here is a brief clip from Harvey's recent interview with Wilfred Frost on the @TheMasterInvestorPodcast . Like Harvey, I had direct contact with mental illness in my family, which led my son Paul to create an award-winning movie, Touched with Fire, that is about creativity and bipolar disorder. It has had a great beneficial impact, so I'm proud of him, too. Sharing openly like this saves lives and creates progress in dealing with mental illness. |

The Most Important Lesson: Humility
2025-12-01
In 1979, I was so broke that I had to borrow $4,000 from my Dad to help take care of my family.
I had calculated that American banks had lent much more money to foreign countries than they would be able to pay back, and anticipated an imminent debt crisis.
But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t fully understand the impacts of quantitative easing, and so I lost money for myself and I lost money for my clients.
Looking back, it was the most painful experience I could imagine — but it was also the best thing that ever happened to me, because it taught me humility.
