I think the new rich is peace. I see too many people who have everything except that. You don't wanna be rich just to flex online. You wanna be rich so you can sit on your porch with a coffee for slow mornings, so you can go to the gym in the middle of the day, take long walks and call them meetings, never miss a single magic moment of life. That is rich. How to build a business and career so good it doesn't need you frantically putting out fires. You're not noble by picking the hardest path just to look like an underdog. You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have to actually do the rarest of things, which is enjoy this one life.
