Planet,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/janettheplanet/) Principal and Founder of INTERPLANETARY INC; [Graham Veysey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/grahamveysey/), Principal of North Water Productions and Developer, Hingetown; and [Brian Gast](https://www.linkedin.com/in/briangast/), President of Quadrant Corp. These three returning guests from our True Wealth Retreat in Palm Springs, California, share how their definitions of wealth have evolved, and what it takes to design a life that's genuinely rich.   Key Takeaways: - 00:00 Introduction. - 01:40 True wealth is multidimensional, not a single currency or destination. - 03:30 A Palm Springs retreat gives Graham and his wife the courage to plan a six-week family trip to Jaipur. - 06:00 Janet turns 50 and starts designing her financial life with the same intentionality she brings to creativity. - 10:00 Brian takes his family to Japan. He discovers a scarcity lens driving his fears about global events, AI, and financial stability. - 13:00 True wealth shows up as generosity, presence, and freedom from cheap cultural substitutes. - 17:00 Younger generations are skeptical of the accumulate-and-retire model and want meaning now. - 18:00 Janet argues that the financial foundation is what makes creative freedom sustainable. - 25:00 Modeling all three corners of the true wealth triangle is the most powerful thing parents can do. - 27:00 A world brimming with true wealth means more fulfillment, stronger communities, and less global anxiety.
