What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Billionaires Secret: How the World’s Wealthiest People Get Rich and Stay Rich with Preferred Securities – I was a retired investment banker when I met an under-the-radar billionaire. I had done really well for myself, but this chance meeting and eventual friendship changed my financial roadmap. I learned the real secrets billionaires actually use to earn a 10+% yearly return by investing in boring but strong dividend and interest paying companies that are too necessary to fail. I had to share what I learned it changed my life forever.
