Bart Groot at Getting real with Simon
Bart Groot was my guest on the podcast, he is a successful private banker from the Netherlands who retired early.
When I started my journey as a financial advisor, over 10 years ago, I met Bart.
He had it all:
✅ A strong book of clients
✅ Financial freedom
✅ Years of experience
✅ Professional success
And me? I had just started. No real track record yet. Barely any clients…
But Bart still invited me for breakfast a few times a year.
No agenda. Just conversations. Sharing stories, experience and knowledge with me…
How did that make me feel?
Respected.
That feeling has stayed with me ever since.
Some people are just built that way: thoughtful, grounded, and generous with their time.
Bart is one of them.
👉 Watch his story, it’s a great one.
