You Can Always Make More Money. You Can't Make More Time
You can always make more money. You can't make more time.
This is the episode that ties the whole thing together: what a time rich life actually is, and why control of your time, not your income, is the key to the life you want.
My first year out of corporate, I chased one thing: replace the paycheck and then some. I did it. And I wasn't much happier. This is the story of what I was actually missing, and the simple framework that fixed it.
In this episode:
What a time rich life really is, and why money isn't part of it
The four areas that actually move your happiness: connections, health, purpose, fun
The "50 hours back" question that reframes everything
The calendar mistake I made that was worse than corporate
Define, Fund, Live: the three moves to get there
Low-friction income: funding your life in the fewest hours
If corporate has you trading every hour for a paycheck, this is your blueprint for taking the hours back.
