What happens when you grow up alongside a billion-dollar company, lose yourself chasing money, drugs, and approval, and have to rebuild your life from scratch? That’s what happened to Alex Peycoff.

Here’s what we talk about:

Why growing up in a soon to be billionaire status family taught Alex the wrong lessons about value and self-worth.
How wild drug-fueled nights and empty relationships left him feeling more isolated than ever despite immense wealth.
The life-altering moment with his daughter that redefined his understanding of success, money, and emotional presence.
How Alex rebooted his life, built "emotional wealth," and developed a purpose beyond material success.
Why he keeps all his money in real estate and avoids markets and crypto.
Alex’s personal definition of emotional debt and how clearing it created the biggest transformation of his life.
His current net worth ("north of a couple hundred million dollars") and how he manages it differently now.
