What if the success you’ve been chasing for 25 years suddenly felt empty once your kids became adults?

John Moriarty, founder of e3 Wealth and co-author of The Entrepreneur Playbook, opens up about the moment everything changed. After decades of grinding as a financial planner and entrepreneur, he realized “enoughness” wasn’t another zero on the balance sheet — it was protecting the family he had unintentionally left behind while building the business.

In this raw and powerful conversation, John opens up about:

• Growing up lower middle class and the moment he decided “that will never be my family’s story”
• The painful conversation with his wife that changed everything
• Why he now teaches “enoughness” instead of endless growth
• How an introvert runs a successful wealth firm without burning out
• His surprisingly smart (and compliant-approved) way to enjoy Vegas, wine, and golf
• The one money conversation every parent is avoiding… but shouldn’t

If you’re an entrepreneur, parent, or high-earner who feels like you’re “winning” but still feels something’s missing — this conversation will hit different.
