Ever feel like you're chasing success but still feeling unfulfilled? In this Habits and Hustle podcast episode, I am joined by author Sahil Bloom as he shares his powerful framework of the Five Types of Wealth that go beyond just financial success.

We discuss his essential daily routines, including 4:15 AM wake-ups and cold plunges, while diving into deeper topics like the impact of social media on human connection, the power of basic habits, and his philosophy on the five types of wealth. We also discuss practical strategies like the 1-1-1 journaling method and color-coding your calendar for energy management, ultimately demonstrating how "boring" fundamentals can lead to a truly wealthy life.

Sahil Bloom is an author, investor and former college baseball player at Stanford dedicated to helping others live more fulfilling lives. Despite achieving conventional success in finance and private equity, Bloom found himself feeling deeply unfulfilled, launching him on a journey of personal transformation. This led him to develop "The Five Types of Wealth," a holistic framework that goes beyond just money to also prioritize physical health, relationships, mental wellbeing, and purpose.
