The Four Kinds of Rich Nobody Counts -- with Sahil Bloom [GREATEST HITS]
Sahil Bloom, author of The 5 Types of Wealth, shares how a friend's stark calculation—you'll see your parents only 15 more times if they live to 80—prompted him to quit his venture capital job, sell his house, and move across the country to be near family. He outlines his framework of five types of wealth (financial, time, social, mental, physical) and argues that we measure only financial wealth daily while the others run unmeasured. He offers exercises: an energy calendar to track what charges and drains you, mapping relationships by health and frequency, defining 'enough' in dollars, and anti-goals. He also discusses Memento Mori and the idea that life runs in seasons, with some stretches for financial growth and others for family.
