What happens when you're making good money but still feel like you got nothing?

This week, Electrik brings longtime friend Geo onto The HLS Podcast for a candid conversation about money, failure, entrepreneurship, debt, mental health, and what it actually means to build wealth.

Geo talks about building a limousine business, watching Uber disrupt his industry, making money while piling up debt, expensive cars and vacations, destroying his credit, and eventually realizing that trying to look successful was keeping him from actually becoming successful.

One moment changed everything: despite money still coming in, Geo realized he couldn't come up with $20 when his pregnant partner needed it. Not long afterward, years of financial pressure and keeping everything bottled up culminated in him pulling over in the Bronx and breaking down crying on a stoop.

That experience eventually led him to cut his expenses, sell the Mercedes, rebuild his finances, enter real estate—and later confront another problem he'd been ignoring: his mental health.

The crew gets into lifestyle creep, debt, credit, entrepreneurship, therapy, anxiety, men's mental health, medication, physical health, and why having more stuff isn't necessarily the same as having a better life.

Sometimes building wealth isn't about making more.

It's about realizing what you're making money for.
