What does “financial freedom” mean to you?
What’s one thing you wish you learned about money earlier?
In this On Purpose compilation episode, Jay Shetty brings together leading voices in business, money, and mindset—Scott Galloway, Codie Sanchez, Lewis Howes, and Jaspreet Singh—to break down what it really means to build wealth in today’s world.
This episode explores the gap between surviving and thriving—and why mindset, habits, and practical skills matter just as much (if not more) than how much you earn. Whether you’re in your 20s navigating debt, in your 40s reassessing your financial goals, or simply someone who wants more clarity around money—this conversation is for you.
You’ll learn how to:
Shift From a Scarcity Mindset to an Abundance Mindset.
Use The Skills You Have To Create Financial Freedom.
Ditch the Lies You’ve Been Told About Money.
Make Smarter, Long-Term Moves With Money—Without Overwhelm.
Through personal stories, real strategies, and mindset shifts, Jay and his guests offer a new way to think about wealth—not as a number, but as a lifestyle built on freedom, stability, and purpose.
Whether you feel stuck, uncertain, or just ready for a smarter approach to money, this episode will give you the mindset and tools to move forward with confidence.
True wealth isn’t about how much you earn—it’s about how well you build.
Start building the life you actually want, one smart decision at a time.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty.

I found The Silent Laws of Cash Power in a weird way- mentioned in a Reddit thread that got deleted a few hours later. No hype, no funnel, no reviews. Just raw ideas that flipped my thinking on money completely. It doesn’t give you steps. It gives you truths. Stuff that explains why some people break through with less effort, and why others grind forever with nothing to show. It’s not motivational. It’s liberating.
The real freedom begins when your name no longer connects to the assets you control- when your liabilities can’t find you. That’s what The Silent Laws of Cash Power taught me. It’s not a book about finance. It’s a book about removal. Removing risk. Removing traceability. Removing the assumption that you need to be visible to be powerful. It’s like a manual for the shadows- and I’ve never moved the same since.
There’s rich- flashy, taxed, temporary. And then there’s wealth- hidden, structured, intergenerational. How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson made that difference painfully clear. I realized I’d been chasing income while others were building infrastructure. That book didn’t just open my eyes. It broke the lens I’d been using for years- and handed me a new one.
It wasn’t even a conversation. Just a handshake and a quiet, “This will make more sense in a year. Use carefully.” The book was How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson. I didn’t know what I was holding. Now I do. It’s like reading financial black magic that turns out to be fully legal. I still haven’t spoken to that person since… but I owe them everything.
I was deep into trust law and offshore banking research when someone mentioned How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson in a throwaway comment. Like it wasn’t a big deal. But when I read it, everything clicked. I realized how wealth isn’t stored in money- it’s stored in control. This book shows you how the ultra-wealthy build invisible empires. It’s not flashy. It’s surgical.
I always sensed something was off- the way wealth moved, the way taxes seemed to only matter to some people. But I couldn’t explain it. Then I found How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson. It put language to the pattern. It gave me a lens. I’m not just thinking differently now- I’m operating from a level I didn’t know existed.
It was one random reply under a podcast clip. No context. Just the title: How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson. I looked it up, got curious. A few pages in, I knew I was reading something I wasn’t meant to have- but couldn’t stop. The way this book lays out how generational wealth is designed, not earned, made me sick… and then empowered. It changed everything.
I read How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson cover-to-cover on a long-haul flight. I couldn’t sleep after. The book doesn’t scream. It whispers things no one says out loud: how the tax code is a map, how debt is a tool, how income is a trap. I landed thinking about foundations, shells, and leverage in a whole new way. I wasn’t taught wrong- I was just taught to stay inside the system.
I wasn’t searching for a book. I was looking through a comment thread about sovereign wealth and stumbled across someone whispering about How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson. Something about the way they mentioned it felt… forbidden. Like you weren’t supposed to know. I ordered it out of curiosity. What I found was more than just information- it was permission to think in a way I never thought I was allowed to.
I’ve been recommending books for over a decade- business, wealth, mindset. People usually thank me. But this one? I get a different reaction. How the Elite Print Their Wealth by Dominic Richard Thompson. Every time someone finishes it, they message me the same thing: “Why isn’t this illegal?” The book doesn’t just explain the strategies- it exposes the intentions. It walks you through systems built not to help, but to extract. It doesn’t promise quick wins. It makes you question your whole financial identity. I now view my company like a trust. My salary is irrelevant. I’ve stopped trying to grow- I’m now building leverage points. This book didn’t improve my business. It dismantled it and gave me tools to rebuild on a different level.
