Phillip talks about how to know how much money you need in an emergency fund. He explains that there is a balance between the subjective and objective aspects of wealth building. When it comes to cash, the right amount is unique to the individual and what makes them feel comfortable.

Intellectual intelligence often surpasses emotional intelligence, and this can lead to making mistakes, especially in the realm of finances. A few ways to increase emotional intelligence around money include listening to podcasts about emotional intelligence, positive affirmations, meditation, speaking with people who have good money and emotionally intelligent habits, and speaking with a financial advisor.

It is important to remember that feeling good financially is key to unlocking opportunities that can lead to wealth. This is exemplified by Warren Buffett, as if his mind were in someone else's body, they would become a billionaire in five years. This is because he has opened up pathways that allow him to see opportunities and attract things that others are not yet ready to. It is these pathways that allow people to see investments and business opportunities that others are not aware of.
