A Billionaire's Warning: Stop Chasing Money
What if chasing money is the very thing keeping you from having enough?
Daniel Lubetzky built KIND into a $5 billion company, sold it to Mars, and became a Shark Tank investor. His whole life, though, has been a warning against making money the goal.
His story starts in Dachau, where a German soldier threw his starving teenage father a rotten potato. That one small act of kindness kept him alive, and it became the foundation of everything his son would build.
In this episode:
The parable of the 50th coin, and why comparison culture keeps us from ever feeling satisfied
The rotten potato that saved a family and inspired a brand
Why Daniel turned down Sullivan & Cromwell and McKinsey for a $10K fellowship in Israel
PeaceWorks: a decade of rejection, duct-taped trunks, and door-to-door sales
The hungry marathon run that led to KIND
The "AND" philosophy: you don't have to choose between profit and purpose
What the $5 billion Mars deal actually means, and what it doesn't
You might already have 49 coins. Don't let the 50th one steal your peace.
