Summary

In today's episode, I reflect on the lessons I’ve learned about wealth, giving, and the true meaning of abundance. From losing over $100 million to rediscovering gratitude and faith, I share the principles that transformed my life and mindset. We explore how to align intention with action, why giving and receiving are equally vital, and the power of asking for help. I also discuss my daily routines, the importance of prioritizing time, and the value of learning to love what others avoid. These strategies have shaped my journey and can help you achieve more than you ever imagined.
