Money Stories Jeff Burningham: $2B Investor Explains Why Happiness Can’t Be Bought - Money Stories Ep 24
Jeff Burningham has lived many lives. At 13 he was scrubbing carpets just to afford basketball shoes. Fast forward to today, he has built billion-dollar firms, traveled to more than 60 countries, run for Governor of Utah, and served as a Bishop in his church.
From the outside, it looked like he had it all. But on a family trip to Mexico, Jeff realized he had missed the first 11 months of his daughter’s life. The question that followed changed everything: what good is success if you are not present for the moments that matter?
In this episode, Jeff opens up about the cost of chasing and the surprising lessons that came through therapy, meditation, and even failure. We talk about the moments when ambition collides with family, the tension between building and being, and how AI is forcing all of us to wrestle with the question: if machines can do more and more, what does it mean to truly be human?
This conversation is an invitation to rethink wealth, presence, and purpose. It is about slowing down enough to actually feel your own life, and discovering that the things you thought were the summit might just be the starting point.
