Sahil's four-step creative process

**BEST OF**

You can be ticking off goals, crushing deadlines, and still feel like you’re missing the point. If your time and energy aren’t going where they should, it might be because you’re tracking the wrong scoreboard. In this episode, we explore how to reset the way you measure progress - so your actions align with what truly matters. 

I’m joined today by Sahil Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of The Five Types of Wealth and Managing Partner of SRB Ventures. Sahil shares how to stay grounded in the middle of chaos, build richer relationships, and create space for reflection - without needing a complete life overhaul. 

We unpack how to spot when you’re drifting, what a broken scoreboard looks like, and why tiny rituals can have an outsized impact when life gets overwhelming. 

Sahil & I discuss: 

• Why the scoreboard you use shapes your priorities and choices 

• Sahil’s monthly “think day” and how it helps him course-correct 

• A mindset shift that radically simplified his business and life 

• His “buyer or seller” test for deciding what to drop 

• A 3-minute journaling ritual that helped him survive book launch 

• The underrated power of sending thoughtful messages to friends 

• What “social wealth” really means—and why it’s the key to a great life 

• How he fuels creativity through reading, walking, and reflection 

• His cautious take on AI’s future impact on work and society 

• A simple way to start your day that replaces doomscrolling with curiosity 

Key Quotes 

• “If you have the right scoreboard, your actions align around the right things. If your scoreboard is broken, your actions will be too.” 

• “When you think something nice about someone, let them know right then.”
