Can money really buy happiness, or are we chasing the wrong definition of success?

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with John Coleman, co-CEO of Sovereign's Capital and author of Good Money: Six Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose, to explore why building wealth means nothing without purpose, meaningful relationships, and financial freedom.

Coleman explains why social media fuels unhealthy financial comparisons, how materialism and lifestyle inflation can undermine happiness, and why generosity may be one of the most powerful ways to improve your life. He also challenges conventional retirement planning, arguing that Americans should save for freedom rather than simply saving to stop working.

Plus, Karol and John discuss the importance of marriage and family, finding meaning in your career, values-based investing beyond ESG, and how artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology could transform society over the next five years.
