Why Following Your Passion Might Be Hold...

Ed Mylett | Cumulus Podcast Network
About this episode

Ever wonder what true wealth is?


In today’s episode, I sit down with Scott Galloway, a fierce thinker, NYU professor, and one of the most influential voices on business, technology, and modern society. Scott pulls no punches as he redefines what it means to be truly wealthy—and why it goes beyond the numbers most people think about. Together, we confront the gap between appearances and actual financial security, touching on the lifestyle traps that can lead high-earners to economic stress, while those who live strategically build lasting wealth.


Scott and I also dig into the concept of following your passion. For all the young people out there, Scott makes a compelling case for honing your talents in practical fields, building toward mastery rather than just "following dreams." We’re breaking down what it really takes to succeed in a world that loves glamorizing the "overnight success" without showing the grit behind it.


We also tackle the future of artificial intelligence and what it means for today's workforce. Scott warns us that AI itself isn’t the enemy, but ignoring its potential impact on every job market could be. For anyone worried about the future, his advice is simple but profound—learn the tools of the new economy so you're always ahead of the curve.


Finally, we take a hard look at some tough societal issues, from the challenges facing young men today to the influence of social media on youth mental health. Scott’s unapologetic take on the need for positive male role models, community involvement, and emotional resilience is a wake-up call to us all.


Key Takeaways:

  • True Wealth: Why wealth is about security, not salary, and how to focus on what really matters.
  • Practical Passion: The balance between passion and talent, and how to build a career that sustains both.
  • AI Advantage: How to future-proof your career by mastering the essentials of AI.
  • Building Strong Men: The importance of male mentorship and community in shaping resilient young men.
  • Social Media’s Toll: The hidden costs of social media on youth mental health and what to do about it.



This episode isn’t just an interview; it’s an education in life strategy. Tune in, take notes, and be ready to rethink how you approach wealth, success, and influence in every part of your life. Get ready to dive into some of the most essential, unfiltered life advice you will ever get!
