"And it was the first time that I was exposed to the idea that money cannot buy everything." "This person is welcome in any room in the world." "We wanted to create a community that reinforces and rewards good behavior and penalizes bad behavior." "The average Myriad member has a net worth of $600 million today climbing." "We had to fly in armed private security into a foreign country on like 12 hours notice to essentially extricate the client from a very difficult, very ugly situation while he was on a family vacation." "Money does not buy happiness, no matter how much of it you have. Rich people get sad, depressed, and commit suicide just like poor people." "You've made the money, but the money doesn't come with happiness and contentment and, you know, great home life and a healthy body." "Isolation is torture." "The caricature that modern media paints of the rich as these bad actors is overblown." "And we have a situation in America right now where three people, the wealthiest three Americans, Elon, Gates, Bezos, have more money than the poorest 165 million Americans. Three people have more money than 50% of the country." "That's like what we all have to understand, that we're in it together, that this is a planet we share, a space we share, a community we share." "We wanna show people leading amazing lives, giving back, doing amazing things, treating their employees well." #theprivatechefpodcast #privateservice #luxuryservice #servingthewealthiest #reyflemings #elitecommunity #transformativechange
