Episode notes

You think you know what’s stopping you from living a truly fulfilled, meaningful life.

You blame lack of time, not enough money, or the constant pressure to do more.

But what if the real barrier is how you define wealth and the way society has programmed you to chase success?

This week’s guest, Robin Sharma, is a globally respected leadership expert, speaker, and bestselling author of The 5AM Club and The Wealth Money Can’t Buy. His work has inspired millions worldwide, from billionaires and CEOs to athletes and creatives, to rethink success and build lives that feel truly rich.

We explore:

– Why “keeping death close” might be the secret to truly living

– The 5 daily questions that set you up for gratitude, clarity, and meaning

– How to move from chasing applause to cultivating joy, peace, and freedom

– The 8 forms of wealth that money can’t buy, and how to nurture them daily

– Why releasing resentment is essential for creativity, health, and intimacy

– Practical tools to overcome self-doubt, unworthiness, and toxic self-talk

– The importance of relationships, self-compassion, and learning to savor life

This isn't about abandoning ambition. It's about redirecting it toward what actually fulfills you. It's about building a life so rich that when you look back, you know you didn't just exist... you truly lived.
