About this episode

Willy Walker interviews Bill Perkins about prioritizing life experiences over wealth accumulation and the philosophy behind financial decisions.

Willy sat down with Bill Perkins, investor, entrepreneur, and author of Die with Zero, for a provocative conversation on how we think about money, time, and life itself. They explored Bill’s philosophy of prioritizing life experiences over accumulating wealth, challenging traditional ideas about saving, retirement, and legacy, and reflecting on the career journey and lessons that shaped his perspective. They also covered how time—not money—is our most finite resource, the cost of delaying enjoyment, and how individuals and families can better align financial decisions with the life they want to live.
