Summary

What if the real risk isn’t failure—it’s spending your whole life chasing a version of success that was never yours to begin with?

That question sparked a radical transformation in Sahil Bloom’s life. A NYT best-selling author, entrepreneur, and investor, Sahil once had a sobering realization: he might only see his parents 15 more times in his lifetime. That gut-check moment became a catalyst for deep change—he left his high-powered career, moved across the country, and set out to architect a life rooted in meaning rather than momentum.

In this conversation, Sahil shares the mental frameworks, emotional reckoning, and actionable systems he’s used to redesign his life. Together, Sahil and Dr. Mike unpack the hidden cost of conventional success, the power of mortality to clarify purpose, and how to build a life worth living.

You’ll learn:

Why “success” can become a trap—and how to redefine it for yourself
The simple framework Sahil uses to make high-quality life decisions
How to overcome fear when walking away from something “good”
The role mortality plays in clarifying what really matters
Strategies to realign your life around purpose, not performance

This one’s for anyone who wants to rewrite the script on what "success" means to you.

0:55.9	realizing he might only see his parents 15 more times. Within 45 days, I had left my job. We had sold
1:02.7	our house in California, and my wife and I had moved 3,000 miles across the country to live
1:07.4	closer to both of our sets of parents. We had taken an action and created time.
1:12.3	That gut check moment, it led him to redefine what it means to live well for him.
1:17.4	I never talked to anyone who said that their enough life was traveling around on a private jet
1:22.8	by themselves. I know many people, and I'm sure you do, who have way more money than I do, but are not
