so you see that even a self made man like Arnold had or met the right people who saw his potential (and liked him). With hard work, being a nice person and some luck you can be a huge succes

Excellent vid as always. On a side note there was a C4 promo for end of days in which they spoke to arnold and wag about his time in London and wag actually mentions arnold plan in the 60s of being the best bodybuilder then a movie star then getting into politics, years before he became governor. Very inspirational, if you can get past the annoying Johnny Vaughn interviewer it’s worth a watch.

I wonder if he is still in touch with Wag Bennet, or stayed in touch with him once he came to America, and if you can find out what areas Bennet had him improve upon for his success and win. Great video still though. Thanks Nick.
