Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
Tue, 04 Feb 2025
Ever feel like you're chasing success but still feeling unfulfilled? In this Habits and Hustle podcast episode, I am joined by author Sahil Bloom as he shares his powerful framework of the Five Types of Wealth that go beyond just financial success. We discuss his essential daily routines, including 4:15 AM wake-ups and cold plunges, while diving into deeper topics like the impact of social media on human connection, the power of basic habits, and his philosophy on the five types of wealth. We also discuss practical strategies like the 1-1-1 journaling method and color-coding your calendar for energy management, ultimately demonstrating how "boring" fundamentals can lead to a truly wealthy life. Sahil Bloom is an author, investor and former college baseball player at Stanford dedicated to helping others live more fulfilling lives. Despite achieving conventional success in finance and private equity, Bloom found himself feeling deeply unfulfilled, launching him on a journey of personal transformation. This led him to develop "The Five Types of Wealth," a holistic framework that goes beyond just money to also prioritize physical health, relationships, mental wellbeing, and purpose.

Chapter 1: What are the Five Types of Wealth?
Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it!
So what we do on this show when we first start is we do a magic mind shot. How did you know? I saw you holding it.
I was like, okay.
Have you ever seen these before?
Yeah, I've taken magic mind before.
Oh, you have? Okay, well, do you like them before I make you take it?
Yeah.
Okay, good, because the ingredients are delicious. Okay, so what we do is we'll get you really focused and locked in, and we just basically do a cheers, and we just then start. Deal. Okay, you ready? Here we go. Cheers. Cheers. Nice to meet you.
Oh, I thought it was a shot.

Chapter 2: How did Sahil Bloom's childhood shape his career?
How much do you run a day?
If I'm training for something, I ran a marathon from training for that. It was up to eight to 10 miles average per day during peak of training. Right now, four. Four miles.
Do you do weights and cardio same day? Do you do splits?
Yeah, I do because I run six days a week. Yeah, me too. So I have to. So I run six days a week and lift six days a week for the most part.
Oh, me too. Okay, so are you doing, that's why.
Push, pull, legs, split on the weightlifting training is what I do.
But you're also doing the running, I guess, like you were saying earlier, we were both saying, for your brain.
Yeah, the running I find is like meditative. Me too, that's my meditation. Yeah, because you're just like alone in your thoughts and in your head for a long time. And I don't, like, I'm not listening to podcasts and doing stuff when I run. If anything, I listen to, like, a sci-fi audio, but, like, something totally, like, escape the normal. I'm not doing business podcasts or, you know, nonfiction.
How can you run to a business podcast? A lot of people do that. I'm shocked, but I can't. Oh, my God. I just need to, like, be in my thoughts. Yeah, I would shoot myself. How can you listen to that?
