Most people think they have decades ahead of them, but when you actually do the math you have far less time than you think. In this video, we'll talk about why we trade hours of our lives for things that don’t matter, and what it actually means to “spend time well.” From wasted commutes to empty distractions and status games, I explore why time, not money, is the only true currency, and how the way you invest it determines everything.
