When You Stop Wanting, You Get Everything.

In this week’s episode, I talk about my journey from chasing the wrong things in life to surrendering to a bigger purpose.

I share stories from my career, including the mindset shift that inspired me to create a charitable wine festival, which completely redefined my goals.

I highlight how letting go of material desires and aligning my work with a greater purpose has brought me both personal fulfillment and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on my community.

Key Points

• It's impact over income for genuine success

• Surrender to purpose yields life's riches

• Charitable visions can multiply into millions

• Realizing self-worth trumps net worth

• Serving others becomes the ultimate goal
