What Is Capital? (JWP131)
Description
What if the biggest capital allocation decision you make today has nothing to do with money?
This week I sit with a moment of total overwhelm, homeschooling, business, investing, all at once, and the workout that pulled me out of it. That leads back to a conversation with Rev Hodl, whose homestead runs on nine interconnected forms of capital, not just financial ones.
We get into why time is a flow you can't bank, why attention is the real scarce resource, and how a single hour, a walk, a workout, reading with your kids, can build several forms of capital simultaneously. I also talk about extraction: how chasing one account (money, status, output) can quietly drain another, and why that's closer to a definition of burnout than most people realise.
So: where will your next hour be most productive?
