Wall Street to Soul Street: David Bach on Money & Spirituality

What drives real wealth — money, energy, mindset, or something deeper? David Bach, 10-time New York Times bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire, has spent three decades teaching millions of people about personal finance, retirement, and mindful spending — but this is the conversation he has never had publicly before. In this episode he opens up about the spiritual beliefs, personal development practices, and defining moments behind a lifetime of success in wealth management and finance.

What we cover:
• How a near-death experience became the foundation of David's spiritual life and his mission to free people financially
• The fork in the road: why his grandmother's five deathbed regrets — all from choosing the safe path — changed how David thinks about money, risk, and wealth
• Leaving Morgan Stanley to follow his inner voice, and what that decision taught him about purpose
• Morning rituals for wealth and wellbeing: meditation, gratitude journaling, and the daily practices behind his success
• Why financial freedom is not just a money strategy—it is a spiritual one
