I READ ALL MY EMAILS - contact form on my website - www.bogumilbaranowski.com. TELL ME YOUR STORY.
I’m Bogumil Baranowski, an author, a TEDx speaker, an investor, and an investment advisor to families and individuals.
Intimate conversations about money, wealth, and living a rich and fulfilling life.
We talk about big ideas, big inspirations, big topics. We take on the hardest subject of all – money: how to make it, save it, keep it, but our conversations lead us to an even bigger question — what it means to live a rich life beyond money. NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE.
