Define Rich for Yourself

In this special solo episode of Own The Exit, Caleb honors the late Charlie Kirk by unpacking what it truly means to be wealthy. It’s not just about building businesses or chasing dollar signs—it's about becoming the kind of person who can handle prosperity without losing their soul in the process.
From character-first wealth building to defining what “rich” really means for you, this is an emotionally honest and highly practical breakdown of how legacy, values, and financial literacy intersect to build not just success, but significance.
