What we explore
You can build a successful life. How do you make it feel successful?
Each long-form conversation follows a guest’s lived experience: the choices they made, the trade-offs they accepted, and the moments that became more valuable with time.
We explore fulfillment, regret, health, relationships, purpose and adventure — not as abstract ideas, but as decisions made while the window to act is still open.
The invitation — a better question than “How do I get more?”
“What experience has produced the highest return on your life?”

What does “die with zero” mean?
It means planning to use your money for the experiences that matter to you while you are alive and healthy enough to enjoy them, instead of over-saving for a tomorrow that never comes. It is about spending deliberately, not recklessly — and giving to the people you love while it can still make a difference.
How often do new episodes come out?
