Garrett Gunderson was making seven figures a year—but it was costing him his health, presence, and peace. In this raw, powerful conversation, he opens up about the moment he said “enough” and chose alignment over accolades.

You’ll discover:

• • Why saying “yes” too often is a silent “no” to your values
  • The moment he walked away—from money, partnerships, and misalignment
  • A clear lens to define true wealth: presence, connection, and creative joy

Your challenge: 📝 Take one minute to pause and ask: “Am I building a life I’ll be proud of—or just a business?” Let this be your moment to recalibrate.

DM Garrett (Instagram: @garrettbgunderson) with Ben Laws and he will give you his 3 most popular audio books for free! What Would the Rockefellers Do, Money UnMasked, Killing Sacred Cows 2.0 (Garrett's newest book!)

Guest Bio

 Garrett Gunderson is the author of ten books, including multiple Wall Street Journal bestsellers, with Killing Sacred Cows hitting number 1 and making the New York Times bestseller’s list. What Would the Rockefellers Do? has been consistently among the top 5 titles in Amazon’s Wealth Management category since its publication.

He built and sold an Inc. 500 financial firm dedicated to debunking the many widely-accepted myths that undermine the prosperity and joy of millions of hard-working, honest business owners.

Even though his roots are in the world of finance, to test his speaking chops and pursue a lifelong passion, he created a comedy special, “The American Ream,” which breaks down all the myths about money.

Garrett enjoys time at his cabin, especially one-on-one through “Cash Cabin” immersions with clients where he builds their Family Office, Family Constitution, and teaches them how to create their richest life.
