At some point, more money stops meaningfully changing your life.
Jason Medley has experienced both sides of that equation. After losing nearly everything in 2008, he rebuilt, created significant financial success, and eventually reached a point where money no longer provided the same reward it once did.
That forced a different question: If more money isn’t going to change your life, what will?
In this conversation, Jason and David explore how our definition of wealth changes as we move through different seasons of life. They discuss relationships, family, faith, health, business growth, financial discipline, and the difference between continuing to build because you love creating versus building because you still believe the next number will finally make you feel successful.
They also dig into the pressures that come with leadership, why growth can create stress even inside a highly profitable business, and why successful entrepreneurs need relationships with people who understand the challenges that often remain invisible from the outside.
Jason Medley is the founder and CEO of The Collective Genius, a community of high-level real estate investors and entrepreneurs. He has more than two decades of experience in real estate and finance and has built his career around business, investing, leadership, and creating meaningful relationships.
