S03E04 - Bogumil Baranowski

How does an investor keep money human? In this intimate birthday-day conversation, Bogumil Baranowski (investment advisor, author, pilot) shares the 5 most influential people who shaped his life, philosophy, and approach to long-term, purpose-driven investing. We explore family stories, stewardship across 100-year horizons, the difference between price and value, and why confidence (in cockpits and careers) is everything.

What you’ll learn

• Why money is a human experience—not just P&L
• The grandmother who taught value over price and built a seniors’ home from scratch
• Jay Hughes’ “five capitals” and gifting wealth with warm hands
• A flight instructor’s rule: never undermine a pilot’s confidence (and how to ask for help)
• Toastmasters craft: structure, delivery, and authenticity on stage
• Charlie Munger’s “web of deserved trust” & “planting trees” for future generations
• Dakshana Foundation and the compounding impact of small, well-aimed help

People mentioned

His Grandmother (accountant & community builder) • James “Jay” Hughes (family wealth lawyer) • Tom Fisher (flight instructor) • Eric Rock (Toastmasters mentor) • Charlie Munger (with nods to Warren Buffett, Ben Graham, Monsoon Pabrai, Mohnish Pabrai, and the Dakshana Foundation)
