Greedy for an Exciting Life

English artist David Hockney once said he wasn't greedy for money, but "greedy for an exciting life." In this episode, we trace the arc of a memory of my dad: a former Air Force captain turned Asian art shopkeeper who let a film reorient his entire life. Set against the misty peaks of Highlands, North Carolina, his idea to turn an empty gym into a haven for lovers of Asian art reveals an inspiring philosophy. What unfolded in that transformed space wasn't just beauty—it was a man completely in his element, at ease, delighted, and alive. It leaves us with a question that every entrepreneur and creator must face: What if we stopped chasing only the metrics and started chasing the lightning? Join us as we explore how true wealth is never the destination but the natural byproduct of a deeply felt, artful existence. Transcript: https://tinyurl.com/5eaj47nk
