Alan and I catch up over coffee and martinis, talk weather and travel (including his Nantucket trip), and share updates on upcoming books and family projects. We dive into “you made it, now what?”—how successful people start asking “how much is enough?” and why the better question is “enough of what?” Alan argues success is about purpose, not endless accumulation, and warns about scarcity mindset, low self-esteem, and normative pressure to “beat the Joneses.” He shares practical markers of “enough”: living without financial anxiety, protecting family, pursuing opportunities by choice, being generous without risk, buying back time, and walking away from bad clients and deals. We discuss hobbies, using talents beyond work, the survive–alive–arrive–thrive model, shutting “watertight doors,” and organizing life selfishly to gain freedom and reduce guilt.
