In this wealth-meets-wellness episode, I sit down with Jon Sabas — entrepreneur, author of "Healthy Wealthy Longevity," and longevity advocate — to tackle the elephant in the room we've somehow avoided for 90 episodes: money and why high-earners are still stressed about finances.
From exposing why financial literacy doesn't automatically come with high income to revealing how health became his ultimate competitive advantage, Jon drops serious truth bombs about building sustainable wealth while actually enjoying your life for the long haul.
Whether you're a high-performer throwing money at problems, stressed about cash flow despite a great salary, or wondering how to balance career ambition with actually living, this conversation will transform how you think about true wealth and longevity.
What we cover:
✔️ The high-earner paradox: why smart people make terrible money decisions
✔️ Financial literacy reality check: do you know your personal net worth right now?
✔️ Why "throwing money at problems" creates more problems
✔️ The Blue Zones controversy: what's real vs. what's storytelling (and why it matters)
✔️ How health became Jon's ultimate business competitive advantage
✔️ Environment design: making healthy choices the default choice
✔️ The retirement fallacy: why 65 is the new 45 and planning for 50 more years
✔️ Type-A health obsession: when biohacking becomes another addiction
✔️ The 4 AM advantage: building sustainable high-performance rhythms
✔️ Why your emergency email at 2 AM probably isn't saving lives
✔️ Gadget-free zones: finding balance between tracking and feeling
Jon doesn't just preach wealth-building — he reveals how true prosperity combines financial success with physical vitality and why the wealthiest life is one lived fully for as long as possible.
