Book Chat Tomorrow: The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom


Hi Reader,

We’re three weeks into January, and the noise around life-changing goals and self-optimization is finally starting to simmer down.

How do you measure success when you’re building a life on your own terms?

Tomorrow at 1:00pm EST, we're gathering to talk about exactly that. We'll discuss Sahil Bloom's The 5 Types of Wealth, a framework that expands the definition of success beyond the narrow metrics we often default to—revenue, productivity, growth.

Bloom breaks wealth into five types: Time, Social, Mental, Physical, and Financial. Before setting arbitrary 2026 milestones, let's explore what actually counts and what we're willing to trade to get it.

No need to read the book first. This is a relaxed, come-as-you-are discussion where we'll talk through:

  • What it means to be "wealthy" when you're building a business on your own terms
  • How to think more clearly about tradeoffs—without guilt or comparison
  • An expanded report card for measuring success

I recorded a quick video connecting Sahil's ideas to something from this week's Lazy Genius Collective podcast, where Kendra Adachi talks about how "greatness has a louder voice than contentment." You can watch what I had to say, or just show up tomorrow ready to think out loud with a roomful of other curious, kindhearted leaders.

Join us: Tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan 21 | 1:00-2:00pm EST

Transform your mission into a movement A life is built in the ordinary Hi Reader, I've been thinking about what makes a good year. Not a productive year or an impressive year—but a year that feels good to live. And I keep coming back to this: our days shape our weeks. Our weeks shape our year. And over time, that's what builds a life. Instead of focusing only on big, audacious goals, I've been more interested in the smaller, tangible things that quietly add up—daily habits, weekly rhythms,...

Transform your mission into a movement What Do You Actually Want? (Not What You Should Want) Hi Reader, I'm not feeling rah-rah about the new year. But I am feeling something that's starting to resemble hope—maybe resolve. A slow thawing after months of shock. I've written this newsletter less consistently than I'd hoped this year. I kept waiting to feel more certain, more energized, more something before showing up here. But the truth is, there's been so much bad news. So much upheaval. So...

Transform your mission into a movement Community Shows Up in the Dip Hi Reader, This weekend, I stood at mile 11 of a half marathon, cheering for my son and hundreds of strangers. Mile 11 is the dip. The fun of the starting line is long gone. The finish line isn't close enough to feel real yet. Your legs hurt. Your mind is playing tricks on you. This is where people start wondering if they can actually finish. And this is where I stood—fuzzy white hat, big smile—calling out the names on...
