When Gary and I were writing the one thing, we realized that we had to define success. How do you define

success? Is it about how much money you make? It is about how big your business is, how many friends you

have. What is your scorecard? In the end, we decided to define it as getting what you want.

And here's the trick. Lots and lots of successful people are chasing

things that they're not exactly clear that it is the thing they want. This week's guest is Sahel Bloom.

He's the author of a fantastic book called The Five Pillars of Wealth. He also writes a fantastic

newsletter called The Sahel Chronicles that I've been reading for many, many years. He is very thoughtful

in his approach to both life and work. He's figured out some tricks on how to figure out

on getting clear about what it is he really wants. As an example, he understood that he has a

high value around family time. And even though he was pursuing a very lucrative career

in finance in California, he realized one day that if he didn't make changes in his life,

he would have very few days of his life left that he would actually get to spend with his

parents in New York City. So he moved all the way across the coast, left his career and

started anew, building the career

that we know of today as Sahel Bloom, the content creator. And he has no regrets about it because

he was very clear about what ultimately mattered for him. And he did it in a way that, yes, he may

have left something, but he built something bigger and better and more aligned with his values.

I think you're going to love this conversation. He shares his framework for conducting

experiments to figure these things out. We talk a lot about time, which is one of the five

pillars of wealth, right? Are you a time millionaire? Are you a time billionaire? Do you really

understand how to invest your time to be wealthy in it and to get the most out of it?

We'll explore all of that in this amazing episode with one of my heroes, Sahil Bloom.
