What is Ways of Wealth?

I believe Wealth is much more than just money. It’s the ultimate lifestyle, yet it’s different for everybody. I believe Ways of Wealth are infinite. It’s no wonder we use the word to say things like, “You have a wealth of options” or “I have a wealth of information.” It generally refers to abundance of any kind but we just seem to assimilate it to monetary riches too often. My goal is to redefine wealth.

It began as the result of massive observations. Years and years of them. I noticed people that were a part of certain cultures seemed to be the happiest. I observed while working in a very affluent part of town, the ‘wealthiest’ group of people financially, had the ugliest attitudes, were the most miserable to be around and were always angry about something. I met a janitor who would pick up dog poop or scrubbed a toilet with a smile on his face not because he loved what he was doing but because he had a great passion for life. A couple I know, despite the naysayers, quit there 9-5 jobs and backpacked around the world for a couple years, exploring and journaling like a neo lewis and clark. They chose personal fulfillment over society’s determination of success. Stories like these are endless because there is an unlimited amount of ways to live an abundant life. There was a realization that some people were so rich externally but absolutely broke internally and vice-versa. There are so many that excel incredibly in certain areas of life yet they struggle in other key areas as well. I am obsessed with finding that perfect balance in life and so ways of wealth was born.

While Ways of Wealth (WOW) was created with the goal of finding balance in life it was also meant for the curious person like myself that often finds themselves pulled in many different directions and welcomes it. The person who is constantly searching for new experiences, to learn new disciplines, explore new hobbies and meet new people. WOW is for the thinker, the philosopher and the sociologist within all of us. For those that want to reap the fruits of innovation thanks to Humanity’s never ending labor.

The goal with WOW is to inspire people to take action towards achieving there goals, to educate the masses on sometimes overlooked or obscure topics in everyday life and provide the necessary resources for those that desire it. It reminds me that we are all spokes with varying strengths and weaknesses and together we make one hell of a wheel. More than an idea, or a blog Ways of Wealth is an experiment of sorts to share my experiences, observations and lessons learned. I hope to bring on guests from time to time to share with all of us their expertise or particular Way of Wealth.

Ways of Wealth is part of my ethos, my own personal social movement. that is in constant search of the ultimate life, the WOW lifestyle. That says I will go fearless into the world and take what I want out of it while remembering to always give back to society whatever I’ve learned, gained or obtained. Tangible or not. If you’d like, it could be yours as well.

You can expect content about a wide variety of topics as my interests and experiences are very broad. It is for that reason that there will be posts that do not appeal to you and that’s okay. I however will try to stay focused around the five pillars of social impact, influence & leadership, humor, business & finances and relationships. My gentle request to you is to please have patience because there will come that post or story that is relevant and will give you a perspective you needed to hear.

Thanks for reading and welcome to my lab!
