The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Sahil Bloom qualifies as The Visionary because he dismantles the default cultural framework of success and builds a replacement. In The Five Types of Wealth, the author and investor warns against winning the battle of money but losing the war, a phrase that captures his gift for seeing structural blind spots others accept without question.
“My relationships with my parents, I was never seeing them. We lived 3,000 miles away. They're getting older and super close to them my whole life. And I just wasn't seeing them. My relationship with my sister had ground to a halt.”
“And I just remember feeling like I had been punched in the gut. I mean, the idea that the amount of time you have left with the people you love most in the world is so finite, so countable that you can put it onto a few hands shook me to the core.”
“Yeah, totally. And by the way, that's the whole meme of the person that's standing in front of the private jet telling you that you can get rich trading. They got rich by selling you the course, not by actually trading.”
“Yeah, and when I was a kid, I was like really jealous. My best friend growing up had this incredible house. His family flew on private jets. They went to all these places. And, you know, like I was very jealous of all the things that he had that I didn't.”
