Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wr\nWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.\nI asked 40 millionaires their biggest regret. One answer was just two words: \"withholding love.\"\nThis episode started with a simple survey: 40 millionaires, one question — what's your biggest regret? The answers ranged from $22K a year dumped into life insurance instead of Bitcoin ($11M of upside gone) to hundreds of bitcoins sold at $300 to make payroll. But cross-referenced against 100+ Moneywise conversations, every answer collapsed into just three regrets: I can see the life I almost had. I didn't become the person I thought I could become. I thought I had more time.\nThen it gets into the science. Why bronze medalists look happier than silver medalists. Why finance is only 2.5% of most people's regrets but dominated this survey. Why the person you never became can bother you longer than any mistake you actually made. Why an $80M exit sent one founder to rock bottom. And a three-question Regret Test to figure out whether your regret is still useful — or just expensive entertainment.\nAlso, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, \"What the heck, let's make it public.\" If you are a founder, apply here: http://joinhampton.com/mw\nTimestamps:\n00:00 — The survey: 40 millionaires, one question, and the answers that looked completely random\n01:02 — Every regret collapses into three buckets\n01:24 — Regret vs. disappointment: why regret needs an alternate reality...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vCvB-0dtzg339Iof9Uhri-E5Cu1YvE_goNcKch75CeI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZTZj/OWRiMTI3NjI1YWUy/MWY4ZWJkOTU2YzFl/NzE0Mi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
