The New Rules of Wealth, with Sahil Bloom | Live from Inman NYC

The most respected leaders in business are rethinking what it means to live a wealthy life, and it's not just about money.

Sahil Bloom is a New York Times bestselling author of The Five Types of Wealth and creator of the Curiosity Chronicles newsletter with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. In this episode of the Playmakers Podcast, RealScout CEO Andrew Flachner sits down with Sahil at Inman Connect New York to unpack the framework that's helping executives, agents, and entrepreneurs escape the trap of winning in one area while losing everywhere else.

Sahil spent the first 30 years of his life marching down the traditional path to success: fancy finance job, status symbols, external validation. But when a single conversation revealed he'd only see his parents 15 more times before they died, everything changed. He and his wife sold their house, he quit his high-paying job, and they moved 3,000 miles to redesign their lives around what actually mattered.

This isn't motivational fluff. It's a tactical breakdown of how to measure what matters, invest in relationships that compound, and build a life where you're not sacrificing everything for money.

What you'll hear in this episode:
- The "15 times" math that changed Sahil's entire life trajectory
- Why the Harvard Study of Adult Development found relationships are the greatest predictor of health at 80
- The "time billionaire" concept and why you're wasting incalculable value every day
- How to define your "enough life" (and why the number keeps disappearing)
- The magic years with your kids: 95% of your time is over by age 18
- Why "anything above zero compounds" when it comes to relationships and health
- The dimmer switch mindset: how to avoid turning areas of your life completely off
- Earned status vs. bought status (and why a six-pack beats a Rolex)
- The Life Raiser framework: one rule to snap you back to your ideal self

If you're an agent, team leader, or executive feeling pulled in every direction. This conversation will help you get clear on what you're actually building and why.
