Sometimes being asked one question can change the course of your entire life, and that's exactly what happened to my guest today. Just a few years ago, Sawhill Bloom was, by all accounts, wealthy. He was living on the West Coast and incredibly successful,

working at a private equity fund with billions of dollars in assets. But all it took was

one conversation to make all of that seem less valuable. A friend of Sawhill's asked how old

his parents were, and then followed up by asking how often he sees his

parents. About once a year was his answer. So Sawhill's friend just said to him this. So you'll see

your parents a total of 15 or so more times before they die. And that's the moment that everything

shifted for Sahil. He began to re-examine what wealth looks like to

him and now views success in a whole new way. Sahel started to reprioritize time, his social life and

health, and that, that became his new currency. And now Sahel has created a blueprint

examining different forms of

wealth. Today, he is the author of the New York Times bestseller. It's called The Five Types of

Wealth, a transformative guide to design your dream life. And he's shifting how others view what

being wealthy really means. This conversation will have you looking at life through

a whole new lens, and I promise you'll feel wealthier in a whole new way by the end. I'm Hoda Kotbi.

people to gear into the lessons, the life lessons you learned. Well, let's take it back. Just tell me

about you growing up. Like how were you raised? What was life like for you as a little boy?

I come from a very interesting collision of two worlds, if you will. My mom was born and raised in Bangalore, India.

She applied in secret against her parents' wishes to come to college in the United States,

went to an all-girls school, Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. And then my father

grew up, born and raised in a Jewish household in the Bronx, New York, right near here.

And in many ways,
