- Money and making impact are not the same thing
- Legacy is what makes you feel good about yourself, not money
- As you get older, you realize there are people who progress society and those who don't
- Most people are on the stack of people who progress society, even those in random jobs

That making money and making impact aren't 1 in the same.

I think the older you get and the more you experience life, the more you realize that like money's great, don't get me wrong, it's amazing, but like money can't make you feel good about yourself.

Like legacy is what makes you feel good about yourself.

What's interesting is that as you get older, you start realizing there's this stack of people who actually progress society, and then there's a stack of people who don't.

I'd argue most people are on the stack of people who progress society, like even people you don't consider, Like the random person who works in a random job and like fulfills their their Duty and like raises kids and teaches them to do right and wrong
