more to Life than money® Podcast | Ep. 18: Ali Parnian

Описание: Today on the more to Life than money® Podcast, JW sits down with Ali—a purpose-driven leader whose journey spans startups to multi–billion-dollar organizations, and whose humility matches his experience.

Ali opens up about growing up as an immigrant from Iran, the risks and sacrifices his parents made, and how those early years shaped his drive for stability, empathy, and resilience. From there, we unpack one of the most important decisions of his life: stepping away from a long-time business partnership to reclaim time with his kids—because “work” shouldn’t be the thing that drives your life.

In this conversation, you’ll hear practical frameworks and takeaways you can apply immediately, including:
The question that changes everything: “What do I really want?”
A simple exercise to bring clarity: get it out of your head and onto paper (whiteboard included!)
The 5–6 categories that consistently define a fulfilling life (health, relationships, self-development, career/business, charitable giving, and financial stability)
Why so many high performers struggle to stop grinding—and how to break the “if/then” cycle
Two practical “quick wins” you can start today: time-blocking relationships and fasted walking for health

Ali also shares his definitions of:
Money as a tool that amplifies what matters most
Wealth as the ability to do what you want, when you want
Abundance as a mindset: “I am enough, and I have enough.”

🎧 If you’re building a business, raising a family, or simply trying to live with more meaning—this one will challenge you (in the best way).
