Getting rich and growing wealthy are not the same thing. As Brian Portnoy, CFA, explains, wealth is "funded contentment." It is the ability to underwrite a meaningful life—however one chooses to define that. Being rich is having "more." In this episode, Dr. Portnoy discusses his latest book, The Geometry of Wealth, explains what drives a more meaningful life, and shares how financial advisers should be coaches who can help their clients underwrite a life of meaning.

The Take 15 Series is a collection of illuminating, short conversations with noted economists, best-selling authors, leading researchers, and successful practitioners on topics ranging from geopolitics and whistleblowing to irrationality and outlooks.
