Show Notes

What is real wealth? If you're like most people, you'll probably rattled off some absurdly high nominal value, but is that true? In this week's podcast Rolf challenges us to think differently about wealth, filtering it through the lens of travel, experience, and relationships. 

We live in a world where we've hypnotized ourselves into thinking  "there is never enough time". What we fail to realize is that time is the one thing we are all given equally and that every moment of our lives is a transaction, with time as the currency. 

"Work, sleep, repeat... You'll enjoy life once you retire." Like so many people before him, Rolf almost bought into this belief, that is until he watched his retired grandfather care of his grandmother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. It was at this point he would make a new decision on what real wealth was and how he would spend his time.
