What catalyzes someone to walk away from the traditional markers of success? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Sahil Bloom, a former Stanford athlete and finance executive whose perspective on prosperity was transformed by a friend's sobering reminder about life's finite nature. We explore his bold decision to leave Wall Street to pursue a more meaningful existence. We dive deep into his revolutionary framework of the Five Types of Wealth—time, social, mental, physical, and financial. Through personal stories and hard-won wisdom, Sahil illuminates how these elements interweave to create a genuinely abundant life, offering practical tools for anyone seeking to direct their energy toward what truly matters. Note: In celebration of Sahil's appearance on the podcast, we're giving away three signed copies of his transformative book. Subscribe to the newsletter at richroll.com/subscribe for a chance to win. Now available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and everywhere you enjoy the RRP. Episode 886. ✌🏼🌱 - Rich

The goal in life is to have a razor-thin gap between your awareness and the action associated with that awareness. This is the problem with all self-help content, self-improvement in general, is it's dopamine from information. You get the awareness and you feel good about yourself because you have the awareness, or you go to the therapy session and you feel good about the awareness, but what are you doing about it? Where is the action? It's to shrink that gap that exists and that's how you change your life. That's where you convince yourself that like, oh, I took that tiny action and something happened. It's the first thing I say to any young person who comes to me and says they're feeling lost in life is wake up early and work out for 30 straight days. It has nothing to do with making money, it has nothing to do with your career, it has nothing to do with any of those other areas. What it has everything to do with is rewiring your brain to recognize that you can do a thing and create an outcome. When you do that, when you convince yourself of that, you become completely invincible, unstoppable.
