Gratitude Is Greater Than Money

The Playbook With David Meltzer

In today’s episode, I join Jack Wagoner of The Grateful Podcast to explore what true fulfillment looks like when success on paper leaves you feeling empty. At 31, I had wealth, fame, and my dream marriage, yet I was missing the consistent pursuit of my potential. Jack and I talk about the paradox of gratitude and ambition, the cycle of giving and receiving, and how abundance comes from perspective rather than possessions. We discuss simple but powerful daily practices like saying thank you, finding light and lessons in struggle, and learning to stop, drop, and roll when fear sets in to get out of our own way.
