Is money really making happiness ?

Welcome to Build to Last, the podcast for people who want to build big things from the ground up.In this first episode, I take on an idea we hear everywhere: "money makes happiness." I think that's false, or at least incomplete. It's not money itself that brings happiness, it's development: growing, improving, moving forward, whether financially, professionally, physically, or intellectually.I explore the difference between two types of growth: temporary growth (a sudden windfall, an inheritance, a lucky break) which can look like happiness but is really just fleeting, unsustainable pleasure, and long-term growth, built on intangible assets, knowledge, expertise, well-being, which can never be taken away from you.This podcast won't be only about self-development: I'll also share my experience in infrastructure finance, trying to make it accessible to everyone, without getting into spreadsheets or financial modeling.Thanks for listening, and see you in the next episode.
