How to Build Wealth Without Being “Smart”: The Truth About Money (Lessons They Don’t Teach in School)
Season 1 Episode 289
Why do some people build lasting wealth while others lose it all? Spoiler: it’s not intelligence—it’s psychology.
In this episode, we dive deep into Morgan Housel’s timeless book, The Psychology of Money, and break it down into practical lessons you can actually use. This isn’t your typical “save more, spend less” advice—it’s a raw look at how luck, risk, greed, and human behavior shape your financial life far more than spreadsheets ever could.
We’ll uncover:
Why financial success is about behavior, not IQ
How risk and luck silently shape wealth accumulation
The hidden danger of insatiable greed
The underrated power of compounding over decades
Why keeping wealth requires more caution than earning it
How to handle failure, uncertainty, and shifting personal goals
Why true wealth is freedom—not flashy possessions
This episode is for overthinkers, hustlers, dreamers, and anyone who’s ever wondered why money feels so much more emotional than logical. You’ll laugh, you’ll reflect, and you might just rethink your entire money mindset.
💡 If you’re chasing financial freedom, smarter investing habits, and a healthier relationship with money, this is the podcast you didn’t know you needed.
👉 Don’t just listen—share this episode with a friend who’s obsessed with money, success, or the grind. Because the truth is: wealth isn’t about what you know—it’s about how you think.
