Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Scott Galloway. He's a professor of marketing at the New York University Stern School of Business, a public speaker, entrepreneur, and an author. The modern economy is a confusing mess. Inflation, interest rates, wage stagnation, property prices, it's all complex and may feel like you're swimming upstream. Thankfully, Scott has broken down his entire wealth strategy into an algorithm of four steps, which anyone can follow. Expect to learn why wealth is a whole person project, what all financially successful people have in common, how to forgive yourself when you fall short, why following your passion is often a bad idea, the importance of physical fitness for financial wealth, and much more. Scott is an interesting guy. He is obviously from the left, ardently supports the left, and yet is a ruthless capitalist that tries to make as much money as possible and is super male supportive. It's an interesting and non-typical blend and I appreciate his insights. And I think that there is a lot of really good wisdom here about how to become rich because, well, he's certainly made it work for him. Lots to take away. Look, we sleep for one third of our lives and life is too damn short to spend 33% of it sleeping in anything but amazingly comfortable sheets.

They've got thousands of five star reviews and they offer a 10 year warranty on all of their products. So if you run into any issues at all, you are covered. You probably care about the quality of your sleep. You've probably got a nice mattress. You've probably worked out what sort of pillow you want. But the thing that goes in between you and all of that are the sheets. And the quality of your sheets make a huge difference to the quality of your sleep. So if you want to upgrade your sleep environment today, you can go to cozyearth.com/modernwisdom for an exclusive 35% discount off site-wide.

You might have heard me say that I took my testosterone level from 495 to 1006 last year, and two of the supplements I used throughout that were Fidogeoagrestis and Tonkat Ali. I first heard Dr. Andrew Huberman talk about these really impressive effects that tons of research was showing, which sounds great until you realize that most supplements don't actually contain what they're advertising. Momentus make the only NSF certified Fidogeoagrestis and Tonkat Ali on the planet. That means that they're tested so rigorously that even Olympic athletes can use it. And that is why I partnered with them, because they make the most carefully tested, highest quality supplements on earth. Dr. Andrew Huberman is actually the scientific advisor for Momentus. So if you've ever wondered what supplements he would create, if he could, or what he really uses himself, this is the answer. So if you're not performing in the gym or the bedroom the way that you want, or you just want to improve your testosterone naturally, Fidojo Grestos and Tonkat Ali are the best, most researched back place to start. Best of all, there is a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can buy it completely risk-free, use it, and if you do not like it for any reason, they will give you your money back. Plus, they ship internationally. Right now, you can get 20% off everything site-wide with the code MODERNWISDOM by going to livemomentous.com/modernwisdom to see all the products I use and recommend. That's live momentous.com/modernwisdom and MODERNWISDOM, a checkout. But now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Scott Galloway.
