Nothing is for Mahala
Dancing to the Dollar
Welcome to Dancing to the Dollar
They say, “Money isn’t everything. Follow your passion. Marry for love. Take care of your health.”
But what if money is the quiet force guiding every step we take?
With the help of AI and deep self-inquiry, Dancing to the Dollar explore how money shapes our most intimate choices, in work, wellness, and relationships.
Each story follows the invisible choreography between Money, Power, and Glory, and how it moves us in ways we rarely name out loud. These are questions we ask:
- What was the most expensive sentence in the story?
- Who paid the bill in the story, and was it with cash, time, or dignity?
- If money didn’t matter, would the story even exist?
- Who got to choose, and who had to adapt?
- Did money make someone louder, or someone smaller?
- Who was the story meant to impress, and who actually paid for the applause?
Ask enduring questions. Hear answers from smart machines.
