No is not. Just another billionaire in the world, where everything is almost about profit, greed, and corporatins are killing whole ecosystems (such plankton which produces over 40% of oxygen) in the name of the next year stock price. All about the money. He should have had compasion and understanging way before it, help people along the way, support various charities (animals included), be more pro active with his support (given all the money), and do something good during his life. At the end of his life? Screw it. Just another old guy that suddendly discovered his own mortality, and that money cannot buy everything at the end. And somehow become compassionate about everything else. And suddendly we should be more understanding or feel compasion, considering what is going on in every day life? In a world where people are literally dying because of lack of water, abuse, exploitation, and wars? No. He should have done more, long time ago if he was so compassionate about it. Just another old guy, regreting his life choices, even worse - because he had money to change a lot. Eat the rich, and bring out the guilottine. French had a good approach long time ago.

Wise People like these have guts and they just re-validate that there is nothing in there but It highly impacts the drive which is required to achieve these things and then you do things half-heartedly. Sometimes I wish I could also enjoy bliss of ignorance. Because whatever you do in this ignorance it is also part of, "it is what it is" is when you grow old. "Lost are those who think they found themselves". Life is not about finding out but just to be, play to win but ok to lose.

One of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. This man is very rich, but not in the size of his wallet. He has learn things most never learn. He is wealthy in Spirit. What great lessons you have recorded for people to learn. Thank you to you both. Beautiful! 💕👍🙂❤️

"The only worse thing than feeling this way is to not feel this way" - that hit hard. Appreciate this man. Your wife and son must be so proud of you.

Seriously. One of those quotes that will stick with me for a long time.

This was an incredible interview. TONS OF GOLDEN NUGGETS from this man. When I use to work at a hospital my favorite thing to do was always talk with the elders that were there. They love to talk and share their experiences and the lessons they've learned in their lifetime. This reminds me how much we can learn from those who have come before us and how we tend to just neglect them.

As a mother, I'm willing to bet that he would give away that billion dollars just to have his son back 💔

Some might say he gave up his son to make that billion dollars.

I can empathize with him regarding his son. We lost our son from the same condition, years of dealing with medications and therapies. It is true, once you have this kind of situation, it teaches you that life is not just about success or material acquisition. In the end, you become richer in terms of compassion and willingness to help others. My goal now is to find balance in life. This is not as easy as it sounds, but at the end of the day, whatever brought you fulfillment with some peace and willingness to keep going, is what matters to me most. Money can get you comfort but not replace dear people in your life whom you have lost, especially children.

I watch a lot of interviews, good, great, enlightening... theres something about this one that was the best I've ever seen. I cant put my words to it, but I will come back to watch again and again. Thank you Noah

As a father, I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child...but its beautiful that he's turned his loss into an opportunity to help others.

What an amazing interview! This gentleman is a brilliant, levelheaded and kind person…must respect for him 🙏🏽🙌🏽

Wow. the authenticity.... He is so real and empathetic. He's very humble too.

What a delightful man. Wise. Grounded. And I love people who are true entrepreneurs like him. They have a passion and they chase the passion, and then the money just comes.

That’s outstanding, Noah, thank You for finding Michael! We all need to hear stories of life of older people who live meaningful life. About difficulties, everything.

This is the first time I've seen your show. I am so excited to learn more. What an outstanding interview!! A real human being, speaking from his heart, with the same bumps, bruises, and tragedies that we all have. Not the average narcissist that we see on shows every day. This was truly a gift to receive advice and counsel from this wise man. And how wise are you for identifying this gem of a man. Thank you both! ❤

The part about emotional pain, hits hard. So much respect Michael.

Noah is one of the most professional and sharp journalists on the job. Do you also like to watch his interviews?

Such respect between two acquaintances. Noah earning the trust from Michael regarding his expensive gift from his son; “Your heart has to grow just to fit how much love you can share with the people around you.” - my interpretation of his words.

“Most people have a lust, they don’t have a dream” this was a powerful statement coming from this man because he’s spot on. I would almost bet that the majority of the folks out here today have a “lust” mentality for something (money, power, etc) very few actually have a genuine “passion” to pursue & live out their dreams. It is why many many businesses fail & don’t end up making it. Lust gets you nowhere.

What a precious man. Life is so short. But empathy and true love are the priceless gemstones we unearth through the pain and sorrow.

Losing a child is by far the most painful and difficult challenge any parent can ever experience. And there is never full closure -- it is carried through a lifetime. Mr. Hudner is one very courageous individual and I will keep referencing this video for quite some time. Blessings!

These comments are just as amazing as the interview. Im so inspired right now to be a better father, provider and human being in general. Absolutely amazing interview and an amazing community. Good luck to all of you in the future!

I had forgotten that people can develop schizophrenia as they become adults. How tragic; my heart goes out to this guy.

What a truly wise man. I really felt for him when he was talking about his son. Anyones worst nightmare but he found a way to look at it as a gift! What an amazing outlook. Also loved the analogy of life being like an elastic band. Great interveiw. You always find interesting people and are really good at letting them talk.

Such a heart fulfilling interview. Thank you for giving him a space to talk, feels like he just wanted someone to listen.

I LOVED how you stayed quiet and really listened to him when he was sharing his challenging emotions about his son.....

Holy crap. I’ve heard a lot of podcasts and interviews and this is possibly the best one. Just heartbreaking and incredible and so much wisdom…. I would love to hear him again.

I have a brother, and had a mother (who passed), with schizophrenia. I understand some of his pain and I appreciate what he tells us his son left him with--an ability to grow his empathy and turn it into action. What a painful lesson--all the more reason that his learning it was so humbling and significant. Thank you for sharing that, Michael Hudner. I'm with you in heart. It's a heartbreaking illness.

So glad I found your channel. Reminded me of my years in the shipping industry. The most fun I had was the least financially rewarding. Great memories of shipping giraffes, horse trailers, and racing boats to Hawaii.

This man had me crying in the car... I love his story. I have three kids, so I'm so sorry for his loss. I felt his words. That said, his story is inspirational. Noah, you did so well on this interview. I love how you navigated everything.

Don’t know you. Don’t know him. But how PROFOUNDLY POWERFUL was it for you to literally just run across him on a street. Your gut, your innate curiosity led to this interview. Thank you for exhibiting patience and compassion during this interview. He NEEDED this. His story about his son was humbling and inspiring. He continues to live with purpose due to his “painful love” for his son. His purpose to help others all resulting from his wealth creation. It’s not about money. It’s about purpose! What a wonderful interview. Continue to follow your gut, be curious and genuinely interested in others. 💚

I don't want to be a pessimist, but rather a realist here and state that the interview could've been planned and locked in place already before he "met" the guy in the street. In other words, it could've been scripted. Very common in "reality TV" and such.

Amazing interview, had not seen your channel before but you landed a genuine, very compassionate and articulate man that has a very sad but amazing story to tell that we can all learn from. I do have a small bit of criticism during the interview. When he talked about his son, I felt like you should have put your tablet down and went over to console him in some way. Maybe just a big hug or something, it was sooo sad to see him practically re-live that moment. My heart couldn’t take it and thanks be to God I’ve never experienced anything like that.

That story about his son was heartbreaking to anyone and especially parents. This is one great man and im sure his son would be proud.

Mike is inspirational - this is quite possibly one of the most touching and meaningful interviews I have ever seen

I love this man, insightful, thoughtful, passionate and compassionate. These are the best people to learn from, people who have been through it… ALL. Not just how to hire, fire, and work the system, but who all knows that there is humanity sitting in the passenger seat for that ride. Thank you, Michael. My heart and hand go out to you.
