How to Stop Chasing Money and Actually Get Rich w/ Richard Lloyd Roberts

from Brainwashed To Be Broke · host Adam Rother

What if the version of you that ended up broke was never really your fault — just a script you were handed and never questioned?Richard Lloyd Roberts grew up outside London with a hard childhood and a father who wasn't kind. He failed every subject in school, escaped into the merchant navy as a galley boy, and spent years convinced that "get a job and grind" was all life had for him. Then he chased money the wrong way — selling watches out of a car window across Europe — and when he finally made it to America, the whole thing collapsed. He ended up broke, homeless, and drinking, all at the same time. He says he could have died. That was how close it got.The thing that turned it wasn't a windfall. It was a book about the conscious and subconscious mind, and the realization that the limiting voices in his head were running the show.This is a conversation about the programming underneath money — the difference between saying "I want success" and living from "I am," why he hated himself most when he was richest, and how he kept rebuilding from zero more than once without giving up.A few moments that stuck with me: the night he walked into a room of 80 "successful" people and discovered every single one was just as scared as he was. The lighting contract that made him real money and left him empty. And the coffee-shop moment, dead broke again, that became a million-dollar company.In this conversation, you'll learn:- Why "I want money" is the exact phrasing that keeps people stuck — and what to say instead- How chasing money directly made him miserable, and what he changed the year he flipped the script- The simple way he kills anxiety and self-doubt before going on camera or into a room full of "bigger" people- Why becoming the person comes before doing the work (the be-do-have order most people get backwards)- How he turned imposter syndrome into his biggest advantage at a Tony Robbins mastermindGuest: Richard Lloyd RobertsConnect with Robert👇🔗 Website: The Soulpreneur Agency, thesoulpreneur.agency🔗 Facebook: Richard Lloyd Roberts🔔 If this episode stirred something in you, don't ignore it.
