EPISODE NOTES
What if your entire definition of a wealthy life has been incomplete? Sahil Bloom, author of The Five Types of Wealth, joins Justin Forman to challenge how entrepreneurs measure success. After years of chasing financial achievement at the expense of everything else, one conversation about seeing his parents only 15 more times sparked a complete reframe of what it means to build a truly rich life.
Discover why ambition directed toward service creates fulfillment while ambition focused solely on money leads to misery. Learn how to define “enough” for yourself, why seasons of imbalance are necessary for building, and how asking “why” like a child can lead you toward something that feels like God. This conversation transcends typical faith and work discussions—it’s about the universal questions we all must answer to live fully alive.
