Bryan Franklin & Michael Ellsberg: "The Last Safe Investment" | Talks at Google

Authors Bryan Franklin and Michael Ellsberg visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to discuss their book, "The Last Safe Investment". In this provocative book, the authors make a well-reasoned case that the traditional wealth accumulation model (save for decades and invest in 401(k)s, IRAs, and a home) no longer works. They propose instead a blueprint for building “true wealth”: the ability to generate not just financial value but also the experiences you cherish most—security, freedom, creative ex­pression, and love. Bryan Franklin is an expert on rapid scaling in business and has helped seven com­panies grow to more than $1 billion in sales or valuation by coaching their CEOs on business strategy and leadership. Michael Ellsberg is the author of "The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won’t Learn in College About How to Be Successful". He writes a blog on entrepreneurialism, career development, and education at Forbes.com. Get the book here: http://goo.gl/zIx7Y6
