Season 29, Episode 336: Guest: Aleck Arena: Family History

"The reason why we've done so well over a long period of time is we've got good people.  And I've always been a great believer that without good people, you don't have a business.  People can bugger something up pretty quickly, but good people can keep it going." - Robert Milner



Aleck Arena is the founder and owner of Arena Securities and specializes in investing in stock shares and today we are focusing on the book The Price You Pay to Be an Australian by Pino Gangemi who just so happens to be Aleck's grandfather!  We're getting an account of Pino's life, where his drive to succeed came from, and how a little boy from Italy moved to Australia with his father and taught himself English and how that was really the start of his journey to success.  Aleck discusses the influence his grandfather has had on him and shares some anecdotes about time they spent together when he was young.  Pino is a fascinating man and we hope you enjoy hearing about his life.
