  1. Designing Wealth for a 100-Year Life

    Designing Wealth for a 100-Year Life

    EPISODE SUMMARY In this reflective and forward-looking episode, the host explores a question most people avoid: What if you live to 95… or even 100? After celebrating a 65th birthday and anticipating a 90th birthday in the family, he reflects on how quickly life moves — and how dramatically longevity is changing financial realities. With people living longer, traditional retirement models may leave individuals exposed, underprepared, and overly dependent on outdated financial advice. This episode challenges the average-life-expectancy mindset and instead encourages listeners to build wealth plans that account for longer runways, rising healthcare costs, tax exposure, and economic volatility. But the conversation goes deeper than money. The host introduces the concept of four forms of capital — financial, health, relationship, and purpose capital — arguing that true wealth requires balance across all four. Money alone does not equal wealth. Freedom, flexibility, optionality, and contribution define it more accurately. This episode is a call to rethink not just retirement… but the entire philosophy of wealth building.

    Bold in Business, Timid in Money

    Episode Summary In this episode of Perennial Pride, Tom Suvansri explores a powerful paradox: why highly successful professionals often abandon the very mindset that made them successful when it comes to managing their personal finances. While they take ownership, calculated risks, and bold action in their careers, many default to fear, herd mentality, and passivity with money—especially around taxes and long-term planning. This episode challenges listeners to reclaim curiosity, education, and intentional design in their financial lives to move beyond average outcomes.   Episode Resources perennialpride.com     Keywords Financial ownership Herd mentality Proactive tax planning Personal finance mindset Financial education Wealth beyond the numbers Tax strategy Long-term planning Average vs intentional outcomes Financial empowerment Risk tolerance Designing your financial system Episode Highlights  00:00–01:18 - The paradox of success in career vs personal finance 01:18–02:15 - Fear replacing curiosity in financial decisions 02:15–03:30 - Why herd mentality feels safe—but limits outcomes 03:30–04:39 - Taxes as a common area of financial passivity 04:39–05:26 - Reactive tax compliance vs proactive tax strategy 05:26–06:20 - Why advisors often don't push proactive planning 06:20–07:21 - Education as the gateway to better financial decisions 07:21–08:21 - Planning years ahead instead of scrambling later 08:21–09:22 - Designing systems that adapt to inevitable change 09:22–10:58 - Questions successful people need to ask about money
