It's that T.I.M.E of the week again!

The newsletter that provides actionable life lessons to a wealthier, healthier, and happier future.

The Distorted View Of Wealth

Imagine a successful entrepreneur who spent years building a multi-million-dollar business.

His life was filled with luxury cars, a sprawling mansion, and designer clothes.

Yet, every morning, he felt the weight of stress, rarely seeing his family, and constantly chasing more money, believing that material possessions equaled success.

One day, he decided to take a break and spent a month traveling to remote places, reconnecting with old friends, and rediscovering the simple pleasures of life.

He realized that even with all his achievements and possessions, true wealth wasn’t the items he owned but the time and freedom to enjoy life’s moments.

The story of the CEO reminds us that wealth isn’t just about accumulating possessions, it’s about crafting a life where time, freedom, and peace of mind take precedence.

The lesson here is that true wealth lies in the space we create for what truly matters: relationships, personal growth, and experiences.

Chasing material success without considering our deeper needs leaves us hollow, whereas living intentionally and focusing on what enriches our lives brings lasting fulfillment.

Wealth is a mindset shift, one that values time, freedom, and connection over accumulation.

How You Can Define What Wealth Means To You:

1. Evaluate Your Priorities: Take a moment to think, where’s most of your time and energy going? Is it toward stuff that truly matters, or just stuff?

2. Create Space for What Matters: Block out space for what fills you up, time with your people, a quiet walk, a hobby you love. It doesn’t have to be fancy.

3. Simplify: Pick one material thing you're chasing that isn’t actually making you happy, and trade it for something that brings you peace or freedom.

4. Reframe Wealth: Wealth isn’t just money. It’s having time, choice, and a life that feels like yours.

Morgan Housel is the author of the psychology of money. If you have not read it, I highly recommend you do.

It is the best book on money you will read today.

The last episode he did with Steven was one of the best podcasts I have listened to when it comes to your finances and how to manage them.

Here are the key lessons I took from this:

• True financial freedom — How to build wealth slowly, safely, and with purpose in 2025.

• The money-status trap — Why showing off is evolutionary but financially destructive.

• AI’s impact on wealth — How automation will change jobs, skills, and future earning potential.

• The psychology of money — Why endurance beats intelligence, and how compounding works in your favor.

• Practical investing tips — Where wealthy people invest, why index funds matter, and how to avoid scams.

• How to live well — Aligning finances with happiness, values, and long-term contentment.

A side note: You will see a lot of the same insights channels on this newsletter and there is a reason for it.

Information overload.

What I have found most useful is to just pick 2-3 key sources of credible and informative knowledge sources and stick to them.

This helps you retain the information you are learning and apply it to your life.

The version of you that you're becoming is shaped not by ease, but by the battles you’re brave enough to face.

No grit, no glow.

My guilty obsession this year… biohacking.

For those of you who are not familiar with red light therapy, it is a therapy that uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, similar to the non-UV rays we get from the sun.

This helps to boost cell function, reduce inflammation, and support healing.

I am very much a believer of do what works for you when it comes to exercise, diet and well-being as we all have very different and demanding lives.

I am three days into experimenting with a full body red light panel and the results have been awesome in terms of energy and mood.

If you're like me, you sometimes get a poor night's sleep and try to mask the fatigue with caffeine, only to hit that mid-afternoon slump that’s hard to shake.

All of that is now gone over the past few days.

I have noticed that my skin, mood and my energy levels have improved throughout the day and last right through until I go to bed.

Placebo…?

Who knows, but I can confidently say there has been some change for the better.

What are you experimenting with in your life at the moment?
