Episode Details

In this episode of Growing Money with Sean Trace, I sat down with Rand Selig - investment banker turned author of Thriving: How to Create a Healthier, Happier and More Prosperous Life - for one of the most honest conversations I've had about money, meaning, and what we're really chasing. 

Rand spent decades at the highest levels of finance, helping people build serious wealth, and what he saw up close might surprise you. More money doesn't automatically bring more happiness, and for a lot of high achievers, the pursuit of wealth actually starts working against the life they say they want far sooner than they realize. We talked about the difference between the doing world and the being world, why busy people can still feel completely empty, and what it really means to have enough. Rand also opened up about a career decision that looked smart on paper but cost him years of fulfillment, and how a single conversation with a coach helped him finally stop complaining and start building. 

This one hit close to home for me, especially when my daughter walked in mid-recording and reminded me exactly what I'm doing all of this for.

What's one area of your life where you've been telling yourself "just a little more", and do you actually believe it?
