EPISODE SUMMARY
Episode Summary:
In this powerful episode of the Mentium Podcast, I share a life-changing lesson I received at the Bamba Day Parade in New York from Cheikh Mame Mor Mbacke, a grandson of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba.
He said in Wolof:
“Alal jumtu kay la du jummu way.”
“Wealth is a tool. It is not the destination.”
I reflect on how this timeless teaching speaks to the heart of the immigrant experience—especially for those who leave home, risk everything, and chase wealth as the ultimate goal. Through personal reflections and Bamba’s wisdom, this episode will help you:
- Understand the true purpose of wealth
- Recognize why chasing money without purpose leads to emptiness
- Learn how to align your hustle with meaning and legacy
- Discover why good deeds and purpose are the only wealth that truly travels with us
Whether you’re an immigrant chasing the American dream, a busy professional, or anyone striving for success, this episode will remind you that money should serve your life, not control it.
Key Quote:
“Wealth is a tool for the journey, never the journey itself.”
