Episode 054: Redefining Rich with Matt Ham

What does it mean to truly be rich? That's the question today's guest is answering every day. He is literally redefining rich through his book, his podcast, and his online platform.

Matt Ham's story starts with what he calls a "good life crisis." Not a mid-life crisis, but a crisis rooted in settling for the American Dream as he knew it.

That led him on a quest to redefine rich, with his four principles, an acronym for the word RICH.

R - Recognize you're broken

I - Invest in others

C - Choose gratitude

H - Humble yourself with confidence.

Those might not make much sense until you listen, but when you do, you'll be blown away by Matt's world-changing message. It was so good, that we went for more than an hour, so I broke the episode into two parts. Part one airs today and part two will air next Friday, so come back for that!

Life was good, but then again, it wasn’t.
