"I left home at 13 because I didn't feel safe in my home... it took me another 20 years until I started to learn how to be a safe home inside of me." - Lewis Howes

During a powerful moment from my Make Money Easy book tour stop in New York, I share a life-changing experience that shattered my understanding of success - witnessing the tragic suicide of a half-billion-dollar entertainment mogul in my luxury Los Angeles apartment building. This wasn't just any tragedy; it happened the day after Father's Day, involving a man who had everything money could buy but lacked the one thing that mattered most: inner abundance and meaningful relationships. The incident forced me to confront a terrifying truth about wealth without emotional fulfillment and the dangerous void that exists when external success masks internal emptiness.

Drawing from my own childhood trauma of fleeing an emotionally unsafe home at just 13 years old, I reveal the four distinct ways people live with money and why the third way - having wealth but lacking inner peace - represents the most perilous path of all. I get deeply personal about what it was like spending two decades trying to figure out how to feel safe again after running away from home as a kid. I talk about how the stories we tell ourselves about our past experiences end up controlling how we think about money and whether we believe we're worthy of it. What I've learned is that you can have all the financial freedom in the world, but if you don't feel at peace with yourself, none of it matters.
