What if everything you’ve been taught about wealth is wrong? 

Maybe you’ve been chasing the numbers in your bank account, ticking off milestones, and still feeling like something’s missing. Sahil Bloom knows that feeling—he was “winning the game” on paper, but losing in the places that mattered most. 

In this episode, we uncover the 5 real types of wealth that make life truly rich and why the single most important mindset shift is recognizing that each one compounds, just like money. 

Sahil shares the moment that shattered his old definition of success and the surprising question that changed how he spends his days along with the simple, daily deposits you can make to grow your wealth in every area of life. 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re playing the wrong game, this conversation will help you rewrite the rules and invest where it matters most—so you can live a life that’s wealthy by your own definition.
