Episode 02 — The Currencies of Life

Description

Counting the Wrong Currency

For years, I believed I wasn't enough.

Not because I lacked ambition.
Not because I didn't work hard.

Because I had measured my entire life using only one currency—money.

For nearly fifteen years, I chased the success I thought would finally tell me I'd made it: startups, stock options, the next big win. But the financial success I was chasing never really came.

Then one night, I went to dinner with my friend Pops.

One question—and the stories I heard around that table—forced me to look at my life through an entirely different lens.

I began to realize that while I'd spent years focusing on everything I didn't have, I'd barely noticed everything I did have.
