The most expensive asset you will ever own is your time.
I didn’t realize just how true that was until the day my nine-month-old son, Zion, had a stroke. In that moment, nothing else mattered. Not business. Not money. Not momentum.
All I cared about was being there with him.
So, I stepped away. I walked away from everything for four and a half months. I didn’t check emails. I wasn’t on Zoom calls. I wasn’t pitching deals or managing assets. I was at home, holding my son’s hand while he recovered.
During that time, I lost 40% of my net worth.
And I would do it again without thinking twice.
Because that season taught me something I could never learn in a boardroom or from a book.
A rich man has options. But a free man has time. And freedom is what I’m really after.
Every one of us is building something. But let me ask you—are you building it so you can have more stuff, or so you can have more time with the people who matter?
When crisis comes, you don’t want to be chained to a calendar or a contract. You want the freedom to stop everything and show up fully.
That’s wealth. Not the kind that sits in a bank. The kind that lets you live without regret.
