Episode notes

Are your decisions driven by true fulfillment or by external validation? In today's episode of No Days Off, we explore Sahil Bloom’s Bought Status Test—a simple yet powerful way to examine whether we’re chasing status or genuine happiness.

We break down why people pursue luxury items, titles, and social recognition, and how this often drains our energy rather than fuels it. Drawing insights from Sahil Bloom, Naval Ravikant, and Molly Fletcher, we discuss how to shift from playing status games to focusing on real wealth—freedom, fulfillment, and peace of mind.

Ask yourself: Would I do this if no one knew? The answer might just change how you spend your time, money, and energy.
