Why You’re Playing the Wrong Game in Life
Guest: Sahil Bloom – New York Times Bestselling Author “The 5 Types of Wealth”Apple Podcasts Spotify
Designing a business is really about designing a life.
This week, we dissect the business flywheel behind Sahil Bloom (author of the NYT Best Seller ‘The 5 Types of Wealth’) — initiatives, team, and how he’s scaled it.
At the core is the bigger theme: money as a tool (not the goal), the “15 more times” mindset, time as the real asset, and systems to protect your energy.
We cover:
- The moment that changed everything: how a friend's simple math about seeing his parents only "15 more times" before they died led Sahil to completely redesign his life
- The "Life Razor" concept - creating a single guiding principle that helps you make aligned decisions (Sahil's is "I will coach my son's sports teams")
- Why relationships are scientifically proven to be the greatest predictor of living a good life, and how to evaluate which ones deserve your energy
- The "Dimmer Switch" approach to balance - keeping all areas of life on at least a low setting, because "anything above zero compounds positively"
- Behind the scenes of Sahil's business ecosystem: how he's built a multi-platform media business with over 1M followers across channels
