“It had to be a little intimidating. Maybe I should have said I was both lost and a little clueless. I mean, remember, this is 1991. You're coming out, this is pre-internet. I mean, Vanguard's really no one knows who Vanguard is. Of my friends, they thought Vanguard was an airline, which it was. Yeah, a second guess would have been a healthcare company. I used to have to describe it as the Pennsylvania version of our Boston competitor. So people didn't know Vanguard wasn't the firm it is today. And then Jack Bogle wasn't the household name. So I didn't show up intimidated. I showed up curious. And, you know, I asked a ton of questions. And he's a guy that, look, wanted to teach a lot. And if you were willing to listen, you'd learn a lot. Mc Was the CEO During the financial crisis, I spoke with him, he talked about how”

“No credit. No, but he said you don't need to go into medicine for that. And then he actually suggests I go talk to this company Vanguard. Really, that was your father's suggestion. He said, hey, reach out to Vanguard. And I was fortunate enough to come down and interview at Vanguard and Love at first sight. I mean, it was a company owned by its clients with a clear purpose to really give them a fair shake and provide them with a better future. And 32 years later, here we sit. Was it like working for Jack Bog Out of school. I mean, that had to be a little Vanguard was in the Vanguard we know today 30 years ago”

“Well, coming out of school, and look, I have a, my oldest is a junior in school now, so I'm sure he'll face this, but I was the typical senior and I was a little lost coming out of school. The son of a heart surgeon, and I grew up with someone who had a ton of purpose in his life. I mean, very like saving lives on a daily basis, that gives you a little bit of purpose. And I was lost and I wasn't going to go into medicine. And I didn't have the stomach for hospitals. And I love business. I love the markets. I want to go that way. We better struggle. I was trying to find a place with the same type of purpose. And I was thinking maybe I need to go back into medicine. My father said to me at that time, Save lives or help people live better lives. Anything else in your wasting your time?”

“Yeah, well, it was lacky to the lackey is really he had. So you weren't even working for Jack, you're working for Jack's guy. Well, I suppose you're working for him, but I really was working for Jim Norris, who was his assistant. We worked together for Jack Bogle. I reported to Jack Bogle. I found out later I had the title of chairman's intern. Found out I had that title because they weren't sure I was going to make it through the summer. So I come out of undergrad as chairman's intern. I thought that was my title for good. After the summer, they changed and I found out, well, you made it. Oh, you have a job. You have a job. I didn't know what was going to happen if the intern part didn't work out. But it's finding Vanguard, I was lucky to find Vanguard.”

“It's been a learning time and it's been a growth time is what I would say Barry. It's been an incredible opportunity if you think about what Vanguard's all about. We sit there each and every day figuring out how do we help people retire better, put their kids through college, afford that dream home. And they've been, I think everyone in the audience agrees, it's been a tough few years for investors. And that's the time to rally. And certainly for us, that has been a time to show up and answer the bell for our clients. And so it's been a rewarding time. It might seem odd to say that, but a really rewarding time.”
