<em>At SXSW 2018, </em><strong><em>Ray Dalio</em></strong><em>, the best-selling author of “</em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Life-Work-Ray-Dalio/dp/1501124021/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519943037&sr=8-4&keywords=Ray+Dalio" target="_blank"><em>Principles</em></a><em>” and one of the most successful investors and entrepreneurs of our time, will discuss the unique principles that helped him build his company (</em><a href="https://www.bridgewater.com/" target="_blank"><em>Bridgewater Associates</em></a><em>) from his two-bedroom apartment to the fifth most important private company in the U.S. and made him one of the 100 richest people in the world. In “</em><a href="https://schedule.sxsw.com/2018/events/PP99680" target="_blank"><em>How to Build a Company Where the Best Ideas Win Out</em></a><em>” (9:30 am Monday, March 12, at the Hilton Austin, Salon DE) he will describe “a believability-weighted idea meritocracy” in which people strive for “meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical truth and radical transparency.” He’ll also explain the innovative technologies his firm uses to make sure that the best ideas win out.
