Scott Galloway: How Getting Rich Affected My Friendships | Office Hours
Scott Galloway talks with Ed Elson about how wealth changes friendships and family dynamics, offering practical advice on guilt, aging parents, and what it means to be a good friend.
The gist
-
Instead of keeping score in relationships, decide what kind of friend or family member you want to be and hold yourself to that standard.
-
Galloway says it's fine to quietly let draining friendships fade, as long as you aim to give more than you take in the ones you keep.
-
If you live far from aging parents but are building your career, Galloway says stay put now so you can support them better, with less financial stress, later.
-
Galloway argues that economic success is partly luck, so those who've done well owe it to others to create opportunities rather than judge friends by net worth.
