In this episode of the GPS to Your Business Success podcast, host Nick invites listeners to reassess their core financial beliefs for a more fulfilling life. Drawing inspiration from Bill Perkins' book Die With Zero, the episode emphasizes the value of investing in experiences over simply accumulating wealth. Nick shares strategies for finding balance between personal enjoyment and financial obligations, including family and charitable planning. By prioritizing lasting memories and thoughtful resource allocation, listeners are encouraged to optimize their lives at every stage, from the 'go-go years' to the 'no-go years.'
