Is the good life about luxury goods and expensive travel, or is it something much simpler yet profound? We dissect what a “good life” truly is, from the dictionary definition to Morgan Housel’s core elements of happiness, and we’ll reveal the simple, actionable steps you can take to start funding a life rich in more than just dollars. We explore why true wealth isn’t what you see, it’s what you don’t see. We’ll show you how to build a life of purpose, independence, and strong relationships—the true ingredients of a life well-lived.
Andrew joins this week’s podcast as we talk about:
