In a world seemingly obsessed with financial success, what does it truly mean to be wealthy? And what if the path to a more meaningful life has less to do with what we earn and more to do with how we live?

Today's guest is Sahil Bloom, successful entrepreneur and online creator who shares insights on living a more intentional life with millions all over the world through his newsletter, ‘The Curiosity Chronicle’. In his brand-new book, The Five Types of Wealth: A Transformative Guide to Design Your Dream Life, he aims to help us build a happier, healthier, wealthier life by changing our habits and redefining our goals.

In today’s conversation, you'll discover:

• The Five Types of Wealth framework - how Time, Social, Mental, Physical, and Financial wealth interact to create true prosperity in your life
• The power of the "Life Razor" - a simple yet effective decision-making tool that helps you stay aligned with your values and make better life choices
• How to build meaningful relationships - including the concept of ‘darkest hour friends’ and why authentic connections are crucial for wellbeing
• The truth about external validation and Sahil's journey from chasing financial success to finding genuine fulfilment
• The importance of daily appreciation - including why expressing gratitude to loved ones is crucial for maintaining strong relationships
• Strategies for intentional living - so you can design your life around what truly matters
• The real meaning of work-life harmony - helping you understand how different seasons of life require different approaches to balance
Throughout the conversation, Sahil emphasises that our answers often already lie within us - we just need to ask the right questions. His message is clear: we can all create lives of genuine wealth through intentional choices and meaningful connections and this conversation is full of practical wisdom to help you design your own life around what truly matters.

Your real friends are the ones who show up for you when you have nothing to offer in return, such as when you're bankrupt, your business fails, or you're at your lowest point.

#relationships

Build deep relationships through shared struggles and conversations

Deep relationships are not built on easy, picture-perfect moments, but through the shared struggle and hard conversations that define the process of 'growing in love'.

Re-evaluate priorities during your child's finite 10-year window

You are your child's favorite person in the world for a finite 10-year window, which often clashes with the 'hustle' years of a career, urging a re-evaluation of priorities.
