## Resource

Daniel Robbins sits down with Christopher Zook, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Investment Officer of CAZ Investments, to unpack how a vision he wrote down in 1991 eventually became one of the leading alternative investment firms in the world. Christopher shares how Tony Robbins shaped his life decades before they became partners and co-authors, why he does not believe in “manifesting” without work, how ultra-high-net-worth investors think differently, and why private markets, professional sports, diversification, tax efficiency, and purpose matter so much in building lasting wealth. The conversation also explores sacrifice, faith, 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, the cost of success, and what Christopher would tell his younger self before starting CAZ.
