Welcome back to The Picture of Wealth. In this solo episode, Dustin pulls back the curtain. This isn’t just another money podcast.

Today, Dustin dives into the real definition of wealth—and why, despite what the news or your inner critic says, you’re probably doing better than you think. From the doom-scrolling headlines to the surprising data behind financial milestones, he shares why your net worth is only one tiny piece of the puzzle.

He also unpacks the Soft Life movement, the value of curiosity, discipline, and optimism, and why building true wealth is more about stacking invisible bricks—relationships, energy, mindset—than chasing flashy metrics.

This episode is part pep talk, part reality check, and 100% a reminder that you’re not behind—you’re becoming.

Key Topics Covered:

• Real wealth vs. the illusion of financial failure
• Why you’re likely closer to your financial goals than you think
• The brilliance behind the Soft Life trend
• What “invisible bricks” you might already be stacking
• A simple 3-part formula for long-term wealth
• Why compounding applies to your mindset, not just your money

Quote Worth Sharing:

“True wealth is the freedom to say, no thanks. I’ll be working smart—not just working hard.”
