A better life isn’t something that happens by accident — it’s designed, deliberately and with intent. In this last episode of our seven-part series on ‘Bigger isn’t Better’, Andres Zylberberg, Richard Peake and I explore what it truly means to live a life of purpose, balance, and fulfillment. 

We examine how true success comes from compounding progress across five foundations: health, wealth, wisdom, happiness, and family. From proactive health and intentional wealth to lifelong curiosity, joy through virtue, and building a family “cathedral,” this brings together everything learned across the series — reminding us that success isn’t about more, it’s about better. 

Takeaways 

• A better life is built with intention, not by chasing endless growth. 
• Health is the foundation, created through endurance, balance, and daily self-discipline. 
• Wealth is fuel for freedom, guided by clarity around what’s truly enough. 
• Wisdom grows when curiosity replaces ego and learning becomes a lifelong habit. 
• Happiness thrives at the intersection of purpose, moderation, and living with virtue. 
• Fulfillment comes from meaning, not momentary pleasure or the pursuit of more. 
• Strong families are cathedrals built over time through presence, rituals, and love. 
• A life by design compounds small, intentional choices into lasting freedom and joy.
