Bill Farley – Billionaire Entrepreneur
Until recently I really didn’t know anything about Bill Farley.
He’s a billionaire and Oprah’s next door neighbor. He used to own Fruit of the Loom and built it into a very powerful brand. He is an advisor to many business owners and people in authority because he is street smart, systematic in his business acumen and he gets results.
Too bad he’s not running the recession “turn around”. Imagine what a guy like that could do with $1.2 trillion in spending?
Whew…
Farley has a great reputation for treating people well. He actually implemented and internal company program to provide employees access to health information and to learn how to be healthy long before it was fashionable or politically correct – like 25 years ago.
About a year and a half ago he went to the Chopra Center and other Ayurvedic Health Professionals and asked them what he should create that would really help people and have the potential to be a long term home run…
Everybody told him “amalaki” – a fruit grown near the base Himalayas that ayurvedic practitioners have been using for 5000 years. So he got a bunch of really smart doctors and scientists and created a product combining Ayurveda with Technology.
You can hear what Bill Farley says about his company here:

You get a real sense that this guy is cool people when you hear him talk.
I tend to listen to what billionaire’s have to say about money. Don’t you?
