On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and Jim Maher to talk about perceptions of wealth and whether real wealth is material or personal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You really get to a lot of people’s core values when you understand how they perceive wealth. Is their driving factor accumulation or is it about something more like giving back? In our organisation and in my family it’s the exact same core values: Help others, become more, share success.
• Delayed gratification is such an important behavioural characteristic for people to grow in life. It goes beyond accumulating wealth. The things where people (especially children) get in trouble is credit. Our society is very predatory, when they sign you up for credit cards it’s about instant gratification rather than physically handing over something that you’ve earned.
• We’re afraid to teach values in the classroom and engage in those types of conversations. So, the very organisations that were the fabric of what taught children and families values and held them to a standard as to how they lived and what they did in their communities and how they were viewed in those religious organisations, especially after Covid, it’s shocking what has happened demographically.
• There were good things that came from Covid. The healthy cost to society as a whole, despite the millions of people that died around the world, the one thing that in every part of the world was that family became stronger. That was something that we’d lost for a long time and I think that interconnection there was substantially rebuilt.

BEST MOMENTS
‘The very best thing you can do for the world is to make the most of yourself’.

‘Wealth is not just about the dollar, it’s about how we use those resources and what those dollars do’.

‘Wealth is such a variety of things, but wealth is also the totality of life. It’s making a difference, making a contribution’.

‘There’s value in terms of wealth and there are values in terms of keeping your word, punctuality, etc. There is also trust, which is both a financial term and the glue that makes our society go’.
