How To Learn The Wealth Language Nobody Taught You | Vivian Tu
Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1846"You get to Harvard, the rich kids still don't wanna be friends with you. Why not? Because you can't afford to split the table at the club on Friday night." - Vivian TuVivian Tu pulls back the curtain on something most people never talk about: why hard work and even elite credentials aren't enough to build real wealth. She walks through the brutal reality of class barriers with stories from Wall Street, where they literally have different names for people who are technically good at their jobs versus those who were born knowing which fork to use. The Harvard example hits hard because it exposes how even at the peak of merit-based achievement, you can still be locked out of the rooms where wealth actually happens. Not because you're not smart enough or didn't work hard enough, but because you can't afford to split a dinner bill at the club. She talks about proximity to wealth as learning a completely different language, one that teaches you not just who to know but how deals get discussed, how real wealth presents itself, and the tiny cultural signals that separate people who grew up with money from those performing wealth.What makes this conversation valuable is how practical Vivian gets about navigating these realities. She explains how her own wealthy friends opened doors to opportunities she never could have accessed otherwise, from US Open tickets on a bank's dime to connecting with the right business managers and accountants. But more than that, she teaches you how to spot the difference between real wealth and fake rich, breaking down the fundamental truth that people with actual money aren't trying to impress you. This isn't about becoming bitter or cynical about class barriers. It's about understanding the game well enough to play it smarter, recognizing that the path to wealth exists for anyone but looks completely different depending on where you start and who you learn from along the way.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Seed Oil Panic Is Wrong: What Science Actually Says | Jessica Knurick
Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1845"We thought we were doing the right thing by just kind of swapping out the goodies that he loved... we would just buy like sugar free donuts." - Jessica KnurickJessica Knurick watched her grandfather face serious health problems in his early sixties. He worked retail, then came home to refurbish cars for extra money. No time to cook proper meals. When the health issues hit, her family scrambled to help. They bought sugar-free donuts, thinking they'd cracked the code. They hadn't. What the system failed to provide wasn't willpower advice. It was real education, combined with understanding the brutal math of time poverty. Working two jobs to survive doesn't leave room for meal prep and nutrition research. That experience sent Jessica into nutrition science, where she discovered something that could have helped him: most of what we're told about healthy eating is backwards.Here's what actually matters. The seed oil panic dominating your social media feed? Not supported by science. Jessica doesn't just say there's no evidence they're harmful. She says there's evidence they're NOT harmful. The reason people feel better after "eliminating seed oils" has nothing to do with the oils themselves. When you stop eating seed oils, you stop eating the chips, crackers, and processed junk they come in. You accidentally start eating more whole foods. The oil was never the villain. The bigger picture: seventy percent of our food environment is ultra-processed garbage. Her grandfather needed systemic change, not sugar-free substitutes. This conversation will reshape how you think about nutrition advice, especially the viral kind that sounds urgent but misses the point entirely.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How To Turn Faith Into Action When You Have Nothing | Marlon Wayans
Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1662"My father would wake up in the morning, study the Bible, say a prayer, rub his knees and look up to God like, 'how am I going to feed these 10 people today?' Then he'd go. And he'd come back with dinner." - Marlon WayansMarlon Wayans grew up watching his father combine faith with relentless action. Every single morning started the same way: Bible study, prayer, then that moment of looking up at God before figuring out how to feed 10 kids that day. His mother taught him something equally powerful but different: how to find joy in poverty, how to stay vulnerable when disappointments could easily make you bitter, how to love hard even when life is brutal. These weren't abstract lessons. They were daily survival skills that shaped everything about how Marlon approaches his work now. When Hollywood tells him to wait, when networks say they're booked until 2026, he hears his father's voice: don't wait for anyone to tell you you're ready.That mindset led him to self-fund his own comedy specials, film them on his terms, then license them to HBO and Amazon while keeping ownership. He's the guy who works three extra hours with his acting coach after a 14-hour shooting day because he refuses to show up unprepared. He drops a new hour of standup material every year, writing it live on stage while audiences think they're just watching a show. Most people fixate on what their parents did wrong. Marlon studied what they did right. That shift, that choice to extract wisdom instead of resentment from his upbringing, unlocked something fierce in him. His father taught him God and grit belong together. His mother taught him that joy is a choice you make, not a circumstance you wait for. Now he lives by a simple truth: everything is God, every closed door is redirection, and a thousand new doors are already open if you stop staring at the one that shut.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
