What the Richest Man in History Taught His Son

In this episode we step into the mind of John D. Rockefeller - not as the oil tycoon but as a father. Rockefeller distils what he believes are the principles of a meaningful and successful life. These letters were private, raw, and written with one goal: to help his son rise above him.

We’ll explore three key lessons: why your starting point in life doesn’t define your destination, the value of taking action even when conditions aren’t perfect, and how excuses quietly erode potential.

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to build a legacy that lasts beyond wealth, or how to give your children the tools to thrive, this episode is for you. Watch now, and reflect on the lessons that might just change how you think about success, parenting, and the future.
