  • The Four Kinds of Rich Nobody Counts -- with Sahil Bloom [GREATEST HITS]

    The Four Kinds of Rich Nobody Counts -- with Sahil Bloom [GREATEST HITS]
    Aug 28 2026
    #745: A friend once asked Sahil Bloom how often he saw his parents. About once a year, Sahil said. How old are they? Mid-60s. His friend did the math out loud. If they live to 80, you'll see them 15 more times. Sahil was 30, living in California and making great money at a venture fund. Within 45 days of that conversation, he quit his job, sold his house and moved across the country to be near family. He's now managing partner of SRB Ventures, an early-stage fund backing more than 60 startups, and he writes The Curiosity Chronicle, a newsletter read by millions. His book, "The 5 Types of Wealth," is a New York Times bestseller. His framework starts with a scoring problem. Financial wealth gets measured every day. Time, social, mental and physical wealth run in the background, unmeasured, until something forces you to look. You'll get exercises for each. Build an energy calendar that tracks which activities charge you up and which drain you. Map your relationships by how healthy and how frequent they are. Ask what your family and your community need from you. Define what "enough" means in dollars, then write the number down. Sahil also walks through anti-goals — the things you refuse to sacrifice on the way to a goal — and Memento Mori, the Roman habit of keeping your own death in view. Two questions run underneath all of it. Think about how you spent yesterday. Would your 10-year-old self be impressed? Would your 90-year-old self? You don't experience all four seasons in a single day. Sahil argues your life runs on seasons too. Some stretches call for financial growth. Others call for family.

  • This Historian Says We're Living in the Best Era Ever, with Joseph Moore

    This Historian Says We're Living in the Best Era Ever, with Joseph Moore
    Aug 25 2026
    #744: With about $200 and a crypto exchange, historian Joseph Moore turned himself into a legitimate billionaire — a stunt that says more about how money actually works than most financial advice does. It's also a preview of the 300-year argument he makes in this episode: that almost everything we're told about money is newer, and far less permanent, than we think.Joseph Moore, PhD, is a historian and the national bestselling author of How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't). His own self-experiments with historical money strategies helped him become financially independent in his mid-40s. In this episode, we discuss: How "never save your money" used to be completely reasonable financial advice Why bonds quietly beat stocks for nearly all of the 1800s How to spot when today's "obvious" financial rules are about to expire Why real estate booms always show up right alongside inflation spikes Why young people's unemployment is outpacing everyone else's — and what history says to do about it Why economic optimism and economic data have stopped matching up Why building more housing is the only housing-crisis fix that's ever actually worked This one's for anyone who feels like the rules of money keep changing under them — because they do, and always have. Understanding that pattern is the first step to building wealth in whatever era you happen to be living in. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.

  • Everyone Wants a Piece of You. Here's How to Stay Whole -- with Luke Burgis

    Everyone Wants a Piece of You. Here's How to Stay Whole -- with Luke Burgis
    Aug 22 2026
    #743: Everyone talks about a loneliness epidemic — but Luke Burgis argues the opposite problem is just as real: we now have so much easy, frictionless community that we never have to develop a solid sense of who we actually are. Luke Burgis is a professor of business at The Catholic University of America and the founder of the Cluny Institute, and the bestselling author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. He returns to the show to talk about his new book, The One and the Ninety-Nine. In this episode, we discuss: Why having too much easy community can be just as damaging as having none at all How to tell whether your beliefs are actually yours — or something you inherited without ever examining it Why cutting people off has quietly become the default response to conflict How to stop shrinking yourself just to keep other people comfortable The zero-tolerance rule Luke enforces at his own company to kill passive-aggressiveness before it starts How Luke actually decides who to trust, hire, and build relationships with What an existential crisis at 29 — and five humbling years training for the priesthood — taught a successful entrepreneur about identity This episode is for anyone who feels the pull between fitting in and standing out — in your family, your workplace, or your online life. Luke offers a way to build an identity solid enough to hold up under pressure, without giving up on real community. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.
