Summary
In today’s episode, I share the lesson that came after losing over $100 million, going bankrupt, and realizing money alone would never make me happy. I talk about the calling that changed my life, the wisdom my mom gave me at my lowest point, and why faith is essential when the evidence is contrary to where you want to go. I also break down the three things I believe create real happiness: making a lot of money, helping a lot of people, and having a lot of fun while staying aligned with your potential.
