The Secret to Engineering True Wealth

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Wade Reed, a financial coach, entrepreneur, husband, and father whose faith and family fuel his purpose. We talk about the journey from scarcity to abundance — and how losing everything can sometimes be the best teacher. I share the story of building wealth, losing over $100 million, and discovering that happiness doesn’t come from what we earn, but from who we become. Together, we explore what it means to “engineer” wealth, how to stop living in the “I’ll be happy when” mindset, and why real success starts with gratitude, purpose, and faith.
