## Resource

This episode promises to remind you what really matters in life. Billionaires might fly private, but they’re drinking the same Coke and scrolling the same iPhone as the rest of us. We explore the "wealth equalizers" that hit a quality ceiling regardless of your net worth, from the crunch of a Honeycrisp apple to the stream of a bidet. And while billions certainly come with some luxuries and advantages, they also carry heavy baggage and isolation.
