Welcome to the My Buddy Green podcast. I'm Jason Wachab, founder and co-CEO of My Buddy Green and your host.

You're going to see your parents 15 more times before they die. That single sentence changed

everything for today's guests, and it might change everything for you too. Seheal Bloom is the New York Times best-selling author of The Five Types of Wealth and one of the most compelling voices on redefining success and time.

At age 30, he had the prestigious job, the money, the markers of success, but his relationships were deteriorating and he was living 3,000 miles away from the people who mattered most.

When a friend calculated, he'd only see his aging parents 15 more times.

Bloom quit his job, sold his house, and rebuilt his life around what actually mattered.

In today's show, we explore the shocking reality that 75% of our time with our children is over by age 12.

We also talk about the arrival fallacy and why external achievements leave us unfulfilled

and practical frameworks like anti-goals and treating life priorities as dimmer switches rather

than light switches. We also discuss the last time principle, a reminder

that we don't know when we'll experience anything for the last time, and how to define

enough for yourself instead of chasing what society tells you what to want. This is a wake-up call

about how we spend our time and whether we're building the life we actually want.

Let's dive in.

So you start the book by packing a punch.

And I'll start with this opening, quote,

You're going to see your parents 15 more times before they die."

Let's start there.

We're going to go right into it.

I love it.

Those words hit me at a moment in my life that was pretty interesting because it was a time

in my life when from the outside looking in, I was winning the game.
