Tuesday Edition
Rethinking the value of money and experiences.
👋 Hi, legend!
Welcome to your special New Year’s Eve Tuesday Edition! 🎆
I know you’ve got more important things to do right now than get bogged down in a long newsletter, so I’m changing it up a bit this week. With 2025 just hours away, I wanted to share one of my all-time favourite podcast episodes.
In this conversation, you'll uncover profound insights on leveraging your resources to achieve balance and satisfaction. By challenging conventional wisdom about money, experiences, and opportunity, it offers actionable strategies to live intentionally and avoid the autopilot trap. As we step into the new year, it’s a reminder to prioritise what truly matters, optimise your decisions for fulfilment, and design a life that reflects your values and aspirations.

I love this interview because it:
💸 Challenges some popular wisdom around money and financial behaviour.
🪣 Reminds us that certain experiences belong in particular periods of our lives.
💡 Provides explicit strategies to assess the true value of money to you.
🔑 Offers a compelling framework for thoughtful decision-making.
🛟 Points out the declining utility of money over time.
⛵ Promotes a reset towards the things that we truly value.
☠️ Highlights some dangers of saving ‘just in case’.
📝 Prescribes specific actions for getting the most out of your time on Earth.
The concepts in this podcast have directly impacted my allocation of time and resources to various pursuits. It has allowed me to refocus on activities that I won’t have access to later in life, and push back some things that I can pick up down the track. It’s also changed my views on savings, wealth accumulation, and delayed gratification; I’ve improved my relationship with money by directly comparing the time I took to earn it and what I spend it on.
Thank you for your support in 2024, and I wish you a safe and prosperous 2025. Our high performance journey is only just getting started! 🚀
Speak soon,
