In today’s episode, I share the story of how chasing money and success left me feeling empty, even after I had everything I thought I wanted. From growing up poor with a single mom to becoming a millionaire just a few years out of law school, I believed that financial security would buy love and happiness. It wasn’t until losing everything and confronting the limits of success that I began to understand humility, gratitude, and purpose. I talk about learning to love what I don’t like, why intuition is timeless, and how fulfillment only comes when your pursuit aligns with who you truly are.
