Falling in love, getting married and spending the rest of your life together with someone can be one of the most magical things in the world. But when the matter of money gets involved, things can get well… complicated. 

What was once a dream can very quickly become a nightmare and reveal something much more sinister. Which is what Jennifer experienced first-hand. 

At the start of their marriage, Jennifer and her husband were on the same page on everything. Everything except how they were going to share their money. 

In this episode, Jennifer shares the journey of their relationship and how things took a turn for the worse, and how amidst the calamity she figured out how not to lose everything. Money may not be everything, but it sure as hell makes a difference who you share it with.

How much money do you need to be happy?

Money alone is not going to make you a happy person, but it can sure as hell help you get there. Money can buy you security, time, health, and safety for you and your loved ones, and it can relieve stress when it comes to life's financial pressures.

To say that money can't impact your happiness is naive. But what we want to know is, when is enough, enough?

If you don't know that number, you can easily slip into the hole of always needing and wanting more, which inevitably takes away from your happiness. At a certain point, you start wasting your time and adding stress to your life in the never-ending pursuit of more.

So what is the threshold when it's time to end the chase and simply enjoy the life you've built for yourself?

In this episode, Ankur Nagpal shared his number. Ankur Nagpal is in his early thirties with a net worth north of nine figures. He started raking in money in college with his Facebook App business, but his real life-changing moment was when he sold his company Teachable for a quarter billion dollars. Now, he's the founder of fintech company Carry, formerly known as Ocho.

Ankur will tell us about the financial decisions he made that contributed to his happiness, the mistakes he made, and he's radically transparent about the numbers while he does so.

Sam will also share his own "happiness threshold" number, and we'll also get input from another guy who rakes in over $10 million a year.

Confidence is key, but confidence is earned.

And Anne Mahlum has earned hers. 

She has dedicated her life to self-improvement and continuous learning. Because of that, combined with her insanely positive attitude, she’s built a networth of well over $100M. 

Her confidence in herself is evident. In fact, she once turned down a significant investment into her start-up in favor of using her entire personal net worth instead.

In this episode, Anne reveals the origins of her drive and how it has evolved into a healthier motivation. She shares the stories of her nonprofit and for-profit ventures, complete with detailed financial insights. And Anne also opens up about her personal spending and investments, challenging the conventional wisdom of the “don’t spend your principal” rule.

Getting rich at any age is pretty cool. But being rich in your late teens and early 20s? Of course, that’s awesome, but it can be difficult to navigate wealth when you’re basically still a kid.

That was the case for my buddy, Andrew Wilkinson. He invested in and sold a few tech companies early on and thought he was set for life. He bought whatever he wanted. But he had a serious wake-up call in 2008 when the stock market crashed and he almost lost everything. 

In this episode, Andrew shares a number of his wins and losses; from almost going bankrupt to crossing the nine-figure threshold. Being able to buy whatever you want, go wherever you want and do whatever you want is great. But so is spending your money on things that can make a difference for others. Andrew also tells us how wealth can have its downsides for families and friendships.

Young people these days talk about wanting balance in their lives.  

Well according to Scott Galloway, that means you don’t want to be rich. 

Building wealth is no easy feat. It requires determination, hard work and sacrifice. But luck plays a huge role too. 

Scott shares stories with us that he’s rarely talked about publicly. He dives into the strategies that helped him build his fortune. He’s also got loads of lessons learned from his biggest failures. He went from being worth around 30 million to a negative net worth during the dot com crash. He clawed his way back over the next few years to over 10 million or so, only to lose it all again. He tells us what those failures and successes were like for his mental health, and what it taught him about keeping his ego in check.

Scott thinks it’s important to talk about money even when it makes you feel like a douchebag. Not talking about money keeps the poor down. He shares his key tips and advice for diversification and why it’s so important in building wealth.

Why would you give up $500k/month personal cash flow? 

Despite his company's rapid profit growth, Marshall Haas chose to forgo his substantial income for mental space and a $26M exit.

Before considering selling his main company, Marshall had already begun offloading smaller businesses. 

In this episode, recorded just weeks after his major exit, Marshall provides a fresh perspective on the exit process, the differences in selling larger versus smaller companies, and his reasons for selling despite exponential growth. We also delve into the mental shift from enjoying a steady monthly cash flow to receiving a massive lump sum.

Remember when Andrew Carnegie wrote that he was removing the pursuit of money from his life?

Probably not, because he didn’t follow through on it. This was even before he founded the Carnegie Steel Corporation and became one of the richest people in the world.

Today’s guest, however, also decided to cut himself off from earning more. And he followed through.

By the time Jeff was in his forties, he was worth over $120 million. After a three-part exit from his company, Jeff decided that pursuing more money was getting in the way of his pursuit of happiness. So he quit building companies, he quit working, and he founded a support group of others in similar life stages.

For Jeff, chasing money had become like an addiction, so he treated it that way. He made big changes in his life to focus on what truly made him happy. But, this “cut-off” from earning more does not coincide with spending less. In fact… it’s quite the opposite.

In this episode of Moneywise, we'll learn about how Jeff realized he had enough, how his pursuit of more was getting in the way of enjoying what he built, and why he thinks it's his duty to spend his money. And of course, we'll also get into all the details about how much he has, where all that money is, and how he spends it.

This is not a normal episode, this is better.

We’ve heard how much Moneywise listeners love the transparency we get from our guests, so we’ve gone a step further. We sent out a survey to all Hampton members and got hundreds of responses detailing things like how much money they have, how they spend it, what their family situation is, if they have debt and how much, etc. etc. etc. 

And we’re giving all of this information away for free at joinhampton.com/wealth.

Sam explains more.

Last year, Mike Beckham donated 1 million dollars. 

This year, he's setting his sights even higher.

He wants to give away 50% of his annual income. And that's not all—his company, Simple Modern, with a valuation of around 350 million dollars, also allocates 10% of its profits each year to charitable causes.

Mike's journey to philanthropy has been shaped by a deep-rooted commitment to making a difference. Despite starting his career in the nonprofit sector, he discovered his knack for business growth and decided to leverage his skills to amplify his impact. So he left the nonprofit world and built Simple Modern.

For Mike, donating his money is about more than just creating a positive impact in the world (although that is a big part). Mike has found that donating his money helps him refrain from spending that doesn’t bring happiness to his life, and allows him to have more success in the most important part of his life: his relationships with others. 

In this episode of Moneywise, Mike will explain all of the benefits of donating. He’ll make the personal and financial cases, including how it’s helped his business succeed. He’ll also give tips on donating effectively, especially if you’re just starting. And as usual, Mike will explain how he made all his money, how he spends it, and give us all the dollar details.

Being born rich sounds like a dream, but it’s almost like being born at the finish line, with no race left to run.

If we’ve learned anything in this podcast so far, it’s that money alone doesn’t bring happiness. Life needs purpose. But when you already have access to everything you could possibly need, finding that purpose can be difficult.

So, how do we ensure our children inherit not just wealth, but also the drive to make something meaningful out of their lives? How do we shield them from the pitfalls of affluence, like aimlessness and substance abuse?

Taylor Adamshas dedicated his life to helping parents successfully pass on their wealth to the next generation with his company Belief Partners. He believes that a large part of happiness comes from the act of adding value to the world around you, feeling like you matter. He works to empower parents to instill in their children the importance of adding value to the world, of feeling like they matter beyond their bank accounts

Taylor knows the feeling of being aimless all too well. Born into a multi-generational billionaire family, he himself has experienced the luxury, pressure, and burden of wealth. 

In this episode, Taylor bares all, offering his personal narrative alongside professional research and strategies for navigating the complexities of inherited wealth. From finding purpose to avoiding the traps of excess, Taylor equips affluent parents with the tools they need to raise grounded, fulfilled individuals.

Alongside Taylor, we’ll also hear from Jane. In contrast to Taylor’s strong recommendation to set up a trust for your kids, Jane’s parents paid for necessities through her life, but will pass on their wealth through a lump sum inheritance of roughly $20 million. She’ll tell us how their wealth impacted her life, how she found purpose in her own career and family, and how the knowledge of inheritance has affected her.
