At 31, Leo sold his company for 7.3 million dollars. He was financially free. Eighteen months later, he was staring at a catastrophic number on his screen: negative 72%.

He followed a financial 'guru', bet everything on complex stocks and volatile cryptocurrencies, and in a fit of arrogance, set his fortune on fire. He wasn't just poor again; he was a fool.

This immersive narrative brings the central ideas of 'The Psychology of Money' to life. It’s a story about the crucial difference between getting rich (which requires risk) and staying rich (which requires humility).


In this episode, you will discover:

  • LUCK vs. RISK: Why financial success (like Bill Gates's) is often a product of luck, and failure a product of risk—and why you can't blindly copy either one.

  • THE POWER OF DOING NOTHING: The story of Samuel, the janitor, who became secretly wealthy not by being a genius, but by mastering the one thing that matters: time and compounding.

  • WEALTH IS WHAT YOU DON'T SEE: Why the sports car and the luxury loft were signs of Leo's poverty, and why true wealth is the unspent money that buys your time.

  • THE GOAL: 'ENOUGH': How the hunt for 'more' (the disease of moving the goalposts) led a $100M CEO to prison, and why the only way to win the game is to stop playing it.
