What Are You Willing to Sacrifice to be ...

Hampton
About this episode

Young people these days talk about wanting balance in their lives.  

Well according to Scott Galloway, that means you don’t want to be rich. 

Building wealth is no easy feat. It requires determination, hard work and sacrifice. But luck plays a huge role too. 

Scott shares stories with us that he’s rarely talked about publicly. He dives into the strategies that helped him build his fortune. He’s also got loads of lessons learned from his biggest failures. He went from being worth around 30 million to a negative net worth during the dot com crash. He clawed his way back over the next few years to over 10 million or so, only to lose it all again. He tells us what those failures and successes were like for his mental health, and what it taught him about keeping his ego in check.

Scott thinks it’s important to talk about money even when it makes you feel like a douchebag. Not talking about money keeps the poor down. He shares his key tips and advice for diversification and why it’s so important in building wealth.
