About this listen

Winning $315 million in the lottery should have been the best thing that ever happened to Jack Whittaker. Instead, it ruined his life.

Within a few years, he was broke, his family was destroyed, and he wished he had never won at all. Why? Because money doesn’t fix your problems—it magnifies them.

This is the true story of how sudden success can be a curse, not a blessing—and what it teaches us about handling success before it handles you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🔥 The insane rise and fall of Jack Whittaker—how he went from millionaire to rock bottom

🔥 Why most people self-destruct when they get what they want

🔥 How money, power, and success expose who you really are

🔥 The psychology of sudden wealth—and why most people lose it all

🔥 A challenge to make sure you’re building habits that keep you strong—before success shows up

Because getting what you want doesn’t make you stronger—it just makes you more of what you already are.
