Zuby is joined by financial advisor, author, and founder of Veritas Wealth Management Chad Hufford. Chad shares his journey from being homeschooled in the Alaskan wilderness to building a thriving wealth management firm after pivoting away from a career in medicine. The two discuss why so many people end up chasing the wrong version of success and how purposelessness fuels addiction and emptiness. They also discuss the importance of living by design rather than default, why contentment is a discipline, and how good financial stewardship is rooted in knowing your non-negotiables.
