Meet Bill Farley

Television Bill’s Watching:

"Of course, I used to watch Heroes on NBC (which featured my daughter-in-law, Ali Larter) and Perfect Couples on NBC (which featured my son, Hayes MacArthur). Many of the shows I watch are set on TIVO, which is easier for me given my schedule."...Read More

I also try to keep a very healthy diet.

I tend to gravitate toward soups and salads, which are low in fat.
I love Indian, Italian and Thai cuisine.

Many of my clothes are custom made…shirts, slacks, suits, coats."

Hobbies Bill Enjoys:

"I love art! I took an art history course as an undergraduate at Bowdoin and loved it. When I started to make money, I began to teach myself about art and discovered what I liked and didn’t like aesthetically...Read More

Bill's Workout Routine:

"I am fortunate enough to have a gym in both my office and our homes. I try to exercise 5 days a week. Three days a week, I work out with a trainer. It’s a 1 hour session consisting of leg and upper body workouts. I try to vary the routine so as not to get too bored or too accustomed to a particular workout. I still get a little sore after most workouts because I push myself fairly hard. But I have to be a little bit more careful with my knees and shoulder joints now that I'm older!"

A Day In The Life of Bill Farley:

In the morning, I take Zrii products, plus some herbal tea. I tend to read 5 newspapers: the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, USA Today, and occasionally the Financial Times. I read my emails and try to respond immediately.

Usually, I schedule a workout some time between 11am and 2pm. My mornings and afternoons consist mainly of phone calls, conference calls, correspondence, and travel. If I am in Chicago and working out of my office downtown (located in the Sears Tower), I usually leave the office around 6:30 or 6:45pm.

I try to pick up my 17-year-old son, Liam, after his golf/basketball/volleyball practice. Dinner is usually around 7:30pm. I might then catch up on some reading … maybe watch a little TV … maybe do a little homework with Liam (if he lets me -- that’s a big if!). I go to bed between 11pm and 12am.

Additional Thoughts on Life:

I have always felt very fortunate, and feel even more so at this stage in my life. I’ve been on the highest mountain tops, but also in the deepest valleys (I’ve had difficult times). I feel that I have a pretty good perspective on life at this point.

I really enjoy spending time with my sons (Liam, Scott and Hayes) and their wives (Kate and Ali). They are all doing so well, and I truly enjoy seeing them advancing in their careers and in life.

I am passionate about mentoring people.

I love to travel. I find it very interesting, broadening, and fun. I never thought I would enjoy golf so much, but as you get older it becomes a sport that gets more interesting. When I’m home, my dog Owen is a great companion. He loves to sit next to me and get his ears rubbed.
