About this listen

Ah, the age-old mystery—why do billionaires preach minimalism while hoarding private islands? In this episode, we unpack why the ultra-wealthy cling to their excess like a toddler with a security blanket, despite claiming that "money doesn’t buy happiness" (from the comfort of their third yacht).

From the psychological grip of luxury to the status game no one wants to admit they’re playing, we’ll explore why the simple life is great in theory—but only if you’re not the one downsizing. Expect sharp wit, a little existential dread, and the unavoidable realization that maybe you don’t actually want to live in a tiny home after all.
