Wealth Acquisition in the Jungle

Working less and earning more is what everyone wants. But is this even possible?

In this week’s episode, we talk about working and earning in the internet age. This conversation is based on Tim Ferris’ 2007 book The 4-Hour Workweek. You might’ve heard of his podcast - The Tim Ferris Show or the Tim Ferris blog, he’s one of the gurus of the growth-hacking culture. While we don’t dive deep into the book, we touch upon its principles on work and wealth. 

The generation before us said, “Work is worship” and most of them worked the same job for years. This generation is different. We work multiple jobs, deviate numerous times, don’t focus on the money, and start young. Which way is better, and which one builds wealth in the long run? We try to answer these questions with our own experiences.

Wealth is an interesting thing. It isn’t money, but the flow of consistent money. How can we build such a wealth stream? Naval Ravikant suggests owning a piece of a business. But is that the only way? What about the cringe-worthy saying - “investing in ourselves”?

The two of us are hoping to be on the path to wealth through work. We don’t know if this is the right one, or the only one. But through this journey, whether it lasts four hours a week or a lifetime, we’ll learn a lot and share what we can with you.
