Today I sit down with Robin Sharma - one of the greatest authors of all time. Robin has sold over 25 million books, he is the bestselling author of The 5AM Club, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, The Everyday Hero Manifesto, and The Wealth Money Can’t Buy.
Robin has such a calming presence. I feel everything quiet down the moment he walked in the door. We explore the truths about success, the traps of chasing money, and the hidden forms of wealth that actually bring fulfillment. Robin shares powerful stories and frameworks that will change how you see life, work, and meaning.
