Relationship To Life with Jullien Gordon: Recent Episodes
Jullien Gordon
Relationship To Life is a weekly Wednesday podcast that explores our relationships to inanimate things and ideas like success, failure, home, nature, family, money, fear, being wrong, and being liked. I believe that we’re all related, not just to each other as people, but that the relationships we have the things around us which affect us just as much as our relationships to our friends, parents, spouses, siblings, kids, colleagues, and bosses. Each week, we will explore a new relationship and conclude with a weekly change to change our relationship to that thing in our life.
In this next episode, I explore our relationship to success — success vs. failure, money & meaning.
I address questions such as:
- How and when did your relationship to success begin?
- What is/What does it mean success? How do you define it? Where do our ideas of success come from? How does one become successful?
- What’s does a healthy and unhealthy relationship to/with success look like?
- What are your old beliefs about success? What do you know to be true?
- What’s enough success? What is too little success?
- What other relationships does it affect?

Quotables “We’ve been sold on this idea of philanthropy that I’ll give once I have a lot. That’s conditional giving. The real philanthropist are those who give early in their life and often.”― Jullien Gordon
“A job isn’t the only way to make money, but our education system trained us to be workers and employees.”― Jullien Gordon
“Just because you get keys to a home doesn’t mean you’re a home owner. You’re just a home buyer until you’ve paid off the mortgage. A home is rarely an asset.”― Jullien Gordon
“At the end of the day I don’t want my life be defined by how much money I have in my bank account, or the worth of my estate. I want it to be defined how much money I created and how much money I gave away to causes, people, ideas I truly believe in.”― Jullien Gordon
“I realized that you can’t save your way to wealth.”― Jullien Gordon
“We embrace this idea that the more the merrier, but there are always tradeoffs and sacrifices.. In fact, what I’ve seen is that the more, the more unmarried.”― Jullien Gordon
“I never want to do anything for money. To me, that’s prostitution.”― Jullien Gordon
“The game of more more more is a never ending game, that’s why I’m trying to get clear about what’s enough.” ― Jullien Gordon
“I don’t hate rich people. What slows down the economy are people who hoard money. Money is called currency because it’s supposed to have a current and flow. When we hoard, the economy gets stale like a swamp.” ― Jullien Gordon
“Our salary is not our income. Our salary is our revenues. Our real income is what’s leftover at the end of the month after we pay our rent, mortgage, car note, etcetera.” ― Jullien Gordon
