Welcome to a brand-new series on The Tapestry Podcast! 🎙️

In this episode, Mike sits down with Mwangi and Mikayla to wrestle with some big questions about money, wealth, and ethics.

💭 How rich is too rich?

💭 Can there be such a thing as an “ethical billionaire”?

💭 Why do we even want wealth in the first place—security, status, freedom, generosity?

Together, we explore what money means at different stages of life, how it shapes communities, and the tension between meeting needs and flaunting excess. Along the way, we reflect on social media culture, community support, and what it really means to feel “rich.”

✨ Key themes in this episode:

- Why money matters (needs, freedom, and peace of mind)

- Wealth as status and social comparison

- The responsibility of billionaires and the ethics of excess

- What truly makes us feel rich (spoiler: it’s often generosity and relationships)

- This conversation sets the stage for next week’s episode, where we’ll dive deeper into the spiritual and personal downsides of wealth.
