Bulletproof Entrepreneur S02E02 - Brian Portnoy - How to Shape a Life of Money and Meaning
I’ve described this podcast as being ‘inspired conversations at the intersection of money, business, family, and life’ and none better sum up that complex blend than the one I had recently with Brian Portnoy.
Brian is a coach, consultant, entrepreneur, and author of one of the best books I’ve ever read on all things financial and our behaviour around money. - The Geometry of Wealth.
A recent study confirmed that 73% of people say money is the most stressful factor in life - more stressful than death, politics, or religion - and it’s either the first or second most important issue behind divorce.
As a business owner, you're going to be dealing with money issues every day and if you do have a liquidity event through a business sale or external investment then you need a playbook to help you manage the issues.
This conversation is a highly practical source to help you navigate the uncertain terrain ahead. During the interview, Brian explains:
- How to define true wealth and how you can define it for yourself
- A 3-step mental model to help you build a path to achieve it
- How to consider the question How Much is Enough?
And towards the end of the conversation, he provides a detailed breakdown of a process that every business owner must undertake way before they sell their business or retire - don’t miss that, it’s pure gold.
