This week on The Abundance Mindset, Vinney Smile Chopra and Gualter Amarelo explore the deeper side of success — the inner game that separates the truly wealthy from the merely ambitious. With humor, humility, and real-world experience, they reveal the daily habits and mindset shifts that shape powerful investors, leaders, and entrepreneurs.

Vinney shares timeless lessons from decades of building relationships and raising capital, while Gualter adds sharp insights from mentoring hundreds of investors through Alchemist Nation. Together, they dive into:

👉🏻 Knowing your triggers and how self-awareness drives smart decisions

👉🏻 Turning losses into lessons and setbacks into stepping stones

👉🏻 Building complementary teams that scale your vision

👉🏻 The subtle "curiosity factor" that defines great passive investors

You'll walk away with practical wisdom for both your business and mindset. Whether you're raising capital, leading teams, or just starting your wealth journey, this episode gives you tools to strengthen your inner foundation — because lasting abundance always starts within.
