From SGI USA, I'm Cassidy Bradford and this is bootability.

The weekly series where I talk with Buddhists from all walks of life about the power we each have to change our lives and the world around us.

We all live in the real world, so it's only natural for us to sometimes be concerned about money.

Unless, of course, you already have plenty of money. Even so, does money actually guarantee happiness?

Maybe you have all the signifiers of success, but no real happiness.

Today, we're talking about the difference between wealth and fortune.

How we can live the most abundant life based on what is in our hearts, rather than the material things we own.

My guest is Sherman Edmiston, the third, of Brooklyn, New York.

Sherman shares his incredible journey to becoming an accomplished businessman and the

transformative perspectives he gained along the way. Welcome Sherman to bootability.

Thank you for joining.

So always every episode, I just have people introduce themselves to kind of open things up.

So who you are now, your career, what's going on in your life, just a little bit of like a taste

of who you are.

Well, good morning, Cassie, and thank you for having me.

So I'm Sherman Edmston, the third.

Now I always say the third because I'm paying homage to my grandfather and my father who,

you know, who I, particularly my grandf, well both of them who

you know I idolize. So I am 62 years old. I live in Bedstuy, Brooklyn. I have four biological kids

and then another young man who is also a son to me.

Let's see. I have been, I received Gohundsen when I was 18. So that was a summer of 1980 before I went

off to college because my dad really thought that I needed to have received Gohundsen before I went out in the world.
