When a billionaire told Ed Cunningham, “You’re so lucky you’re broke,” he didn’t realize those words would change his entire life. In this powerful episode, Ed — a serial entrepreneur, investor, and musician — shares how hitting rock bottom led him to discover the true meaning of purpose, generosity, and receiving help. From living in his car to learning life-changing lessons from a homeless man, Ed’s story reminds us that abundance isn’t about what we have — it’s about how we give.
