In this episode, Priya Malani sits down with Rachel Bowie, Royal Correspondent at PureWow, to unpack a surprising truth: the Royal Family’s wealth isn’t unlimited — it’s just exceptionally well structured. Together, they break down how the Royals actually manage money, why diversification and restraint matter more than status, and what high earners can learn from a family that’s built wealth to last for centuries. This conversation reframes what “never running out of money” really looks like — and why systems matter more than income.

Takeaways:

• The Royals don’t rely on one source of money — they rely on structure.
• Lifestyle restraint is intentional — not accidental.
• Inheritance doesn’t guarantee security — structure does.
• Looking wealthy isn’t the same as being financially unshakeable.

A diamond ring is never just a ring. In this episode, Priya unpacks the unspoken double standard around women, power, and symbolism at work, and why the same signal can boost credibility in one setting and undermine ambition in another. Drawing on personal experience and cultural insight, she explores how traditional markers of stability are still interpreted differently for women, especially across corporate and entrepreneurial environments, and asks why women are still expected to signal seriousness through symbols instead of substance.

Takeaways:

• A diamond ring signals very different things depending on who is wearing it, and where.
• In corporate environments, traditional symbols often reinforce credibility; in entrepreneurship, they can unintentionally signal optionality.
• Men’s support systems are read as motivation. Women’s are often read as safety nets.
• The goal isn’t to erase symbols, but to be intentional about the story they tell, and who benefits from that story

Building wealth feels morally complicated right now — not because money is evil, but because power gets messy once money stops being a constraint. Priya Malani sits down with Pia Silva to unpack why so many ethical, thoughtful people feel conflicted about building wealth — and why opting out may actually leave power in the wrong hands.

They challenge the idea that money corrupts, explore how wealth tends to amplify character rather than change it, and make the case for why ethical people building wealth matters more than ever.

If you’ve ever worried that money might turn you into someone you don’t respect, this conversation will reframe the question.

Takeaways:

• If ethical people treat wealth like a moral hazard, the most unethical actors inherit more influence by default.
• Money doesn’t automatically corrupt, it often reveals and amplifies what was already there.
• The ethical question isn’t “should I build wealth,” it’s “what decisions will I pre-commit to before money stops being a constraint.”
• You don’t need to love capitalism to operate effectively inside it — you need clarity, rules, and intention.
