That was David Gottfried's reality after four decades of success by every conventional measure. David is the man who turned green building into a global standard now used in 85 countries, and yet all that achievement left him asking a harder question: what actually makes a life well lived?
In this episode, David introduces a framework built around three kinds of worth: net worth, self-worth, and soul worth, and shares why the usual measures of success can never tell the whole story on their own.
• Discover the three kinds of worth, and why soul worth may be the one missing from your own definition of success.
• Use David's simple deposits-and-depletions exercise to see what feeds your soul and what is quietly draining it.
• Reflect on whether the life you are living today is the life you would want people to describe when you are no longer here.
Play the episode to discover how to realign your own compass and start building a life that is genuinely well lived.
