Episode 04- The Value of Why: From Fast Food to Fortune

Compound Growth

In this episode of Compound Growth, hosts Colin and Wheeler dive into the nuanced world of value—what it means, how we measure it, and why reframing our thinking around it can change everything. From a dinner table story about hacking classroom tech to reflections on a surprise encounter with Tony Robbins, the conversation navigates through how people create worth through action, intention, and mindset.

They unpack how some of the world’s most successful individuals—often those who faced learning challenges or humble beginnings—have developed their value not by following a straight path, but by questioning, rebelling (in the right ways), and continually asking “why.” The pair also reflects on how money, goals, and personal development intersect, revealing that increasing your value often starts with increasing your awareness and willingness to grow.

From AI-enabled education and rethinking school systems to consumer habits and mindset shifts around wealth, Colin and Wheeler bring personal anecdotes, client insights, and business reflections to life. Whether you’re trying to 10x your business or just figure out the next step in your career, this episode offers a thoughtful roadmap: start with why, get comfortable in discomfort, and recognize that sometimes the best rebellion is the one that pushes you forward.
