Show Notes

In this episode, Carl pauses his planning series to explore the idea behind one of his favorite sketches from his new book: The Four Sources of Capital. Prompted by a thoughtful LinkedIn question, he unpacks why money, energy, time, and attention deserve to be treated as distinct—and why attention may be the most valuable of all. Using a simple skiing example, Carl shows how we can spend money, time, and energy without ever really being present, and how attention is what turns activity into meaning. At its core, this episode is a reflection on why attention is the true currency of meaningful experiences and lasting relationships.
