In this episode (S2, E9) of the Wisdom for Business and Life podcast, reacting to Grant Cardone and Peter Thiel, who claim that single-digit millionaires are not "truly wealthy," host Levi Brackman talks about genuine wealth. What does it mean to be wealthy? How much money do you need to be considered well-off? Should we consider those who are never happy with what they have to be rich? Levi argues that the people who worship money and seek wealth for their own sake may lack meaning and purpose in life, which requires goals that serve a purpose beyond the self. Levi argues that while making money is to be encouraged as a means to an end, the ultimate goal should be to pursue achievements that serve a purpose beyond the self; money that follows any higher achievement is a bonus. But ultimately, a true sense of wealth comes from within, not from a number derived from net worth.
