What if the way we measure success is broken? In this episode I sit down with Sahil Bloom, author of the new book The 5 Types of Wealth, to explore a new definition of true wealth. Sahil shares the wake-up call that forced him to reevaluate his career, relationships, and priorities—leading him to create a new scoreboard for a richer, more fulfilling life. We break down the five types of wealth—time, social, mental, physical, and financial—and the simple shifts you can make to create a life of abundance. If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing “more” but still unfulfilled, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what really matters.
