How to build wealth (featuring Brian Portnoy)

The Money:Mindshift podcast

Show Notes

What does it actually mean to be wealthy – and is it the same as being rich? In this episode of the Money:Mindshift podcast, Dr Tom sits down with author Brian Portnoy and financial planner Shadi Kirk to explore ‘funded contentment’ – the idea that money should underwrite the life you want to live, not the endless search for more. Together, they unpack the difference between being rich and being wealthy, and why many of us are already wealthier than we think. Tune in to build your own version of wealth.
