Does Money Equal Happiness? Comedian Paul Ollinger (ep. 644)

Paul Ollinger is a nationally-touring comedian and a former Facebook VP of Sales. As one of Facebook's first 250 employees, Paul managed a team that generated about 35% of the company's revenue. After retiring from Facebook at 42, Paul found himself bored, lonely and unfulfilled. Wondering why the wealth windfall he had so long pursued didn't deliver the contentment he expected, Paul launched the Crazy Money Podcast to explore the connections between money and happiness.

Today, Paul shares how his childhood shaped his traditional conservative economic outlook, how he weighed his success in how much money he made, and ultimately how he learned that money's only one attribute to a multivariable equation for happiness in life.

My friends, you'll leave this conversation with a newfound appreciation for the complexities of happiness beyond wealth.
