Today's guest has chosen to remain anonymous to ensure the utmost authenticity and vulnerability in sharing his story.

Four years ago, he fully exited his business and now describes his life as post-economic. He realized he had a money addiction his entire life and took a radical step to address it—he avoids any money-making activities, focusing instead on activities that increase his energy.

In this episode, we focus on how to know what we truly want and whether we have enough.
