Stay Calm: Lessons in leadership from investor David Booth
About this Event
Join The Holdsworth Center for a Place the Ladder conversation with David Booth, an investment manager at the center of a monumental transformation in personal finance and author of the forthcoming book (Out Sept. 1).
In partnership with Texas Book Festival, the conversation will be moderated by Robert S. Kaplan, Holdsworth board member and former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Ticket includes a copy of Stay Calm.
The founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors, Booth didn’t just witness the financial revolution: He helped lead it. For five decades, he bridged academic theory and real-world investing, collaborating with Nobel laureates along the way. He’s also an avid art collector, a committed philanthropist and The Holdsworth Center’s neighbor on the shores of Lake Austin.
At Place the Ladder, Booth will open up about his leadership journey from a shoe salesman in Lawrence, Kansas to building a firm entrusted with managing $1 trillion in global assets. He’ll also share the lessons, mindsets and stories behind the personal finance revolution outlined in Stay Calm, and show listeners how to apply those lessons in their own lives.
