[Podcast] Banknotes and Bliss: Does Money Really Buy Happiness? With Mark Creedon

Does money really buy happiness?

Is there a clear relationship between money and happiness?

To shed light on this age-old question, today I have a chat with Mark Creedon, founder of Mastermind Business Accelerator and CEO of the Metropole Group to decipher the enigma of happiness, money, investment and success.

Decoding the Money-Happiness Paradox

Today’s conversation with Mark dives deep into the happiness quotient of the wealthy and the poor, the problem-solving power of money, and the invaluable things that money can't procure - love, respect, and friendship.

We also discuss compelling research suggesting that money, used judiciously, can contribute to happiness by creating better opportunities for children and mitigating the risk of depression.
