What happens when you grow up alongside a billion-dollar company, lose yourself chasing money, drugs, and approval, and have to rebuild your life from scratch? That’s what happened to Alex Peycoff.

Here’s what we talk about:

• Why growing up in a soon to be billionaire status family taught Alex the wrong lessons about value and self-worth.
• How wild drug-fueled nights and empty relationships left him feeling more isolated than ever despite immense wealth.
• The life-altering moment with his daughter that redefined his understanding of success, money, and emotional presence.
• How Alex rebooted his life, built "emotional wealth," and developed a purpose beyond material success.
• Why he keeps all his money in real estate and avoids markets and crypto.
• Alex’s personal definition of emotional debt and how clearing it created the biggest transformation of his life.
• His current net worth ("north of a couple hundred million dollars") and how he manages it differently now.
