15 years ago, a health crisis forced me to stop.
At the time, I had five operating businesses, a handful of non-profit roles, and a tendency to say yes to everything.
My body had been hinting for months that I was pushing too hard. I just didn’t know how to listen.
That dark period changed everything about how I think about time… and wealth.
Because here’s what I’ve come to believe: true wealth isn’t financial. The word “wealth” actually has its roots in “wellness.” And the research backs this up: more money, past a certain point, doesn’t bring more happiness. More things don’t either.
What does? Experiences. Presence. Time used intentionally.
As Claude Debussy said: “Music is the space between the notes.”
The pause isn’t a break from productivity. It IS the productivity.
I recently sat down with @Kristen Oliveri for her Wealth Reimagined series to talk about all of this, the “wealth of time,” my weekly technology sabbath, and the retreat experience I’m developing to help others find their own pause.
If you’ve ever felt cash rich but time poor, this one’s for you.
