From Blockbuster to the Great Financial Crisis: Douglas Boneparth on Playing the Long Game

What’s it like to launch a financial career at the worst possible moment?
Douglas Boneparth, CFP and president of Bone Fide Wealth, moved to New York City in 2008 as Bear Stearns collapsed and the Great Financial Crisis began. But his money story started much earlier — in a household where personal finance was never taboo. He talks with Chris Hill about:
- Early lessons in entrepreneurship
- The challenge of leaving a family firm to build his own path
- Managing student debt and New York City rent
- An investing lesson he wishes he had learned earlier
Opening clip – “Succession”

Check out Money Together, the best-selling book Douglas wrote with his wife Heather.
