Hard work doesn’t make you wealthy. If it did, the person running your local laundromat would out earn Jeff Bezos.
In this episode, Jay brings together four of the world’s leading money experts, Scott Galloway, Codie Sanchez, Nischa Shah and Jaspreet Singh to break down what actually builds wealth, and why the "just work harder" advice most of us grew up on stopped being true a long time ago.
They cover how to earn more at the job you already have, the financial danger zone half of us are stuck in, why credit card debt quietly funds someone else’s fortune, the 75/15/10 system for every dollar you earn, how to start investing with as little as $1 and the honest answer to whether you should still buy a home.
Whether you’re living paycheck to paycheck, stuck in debt, or earning well and still feeling behind, this is the money masterclass nobody gave you at school.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ Why working harder will never make you wealthy
✅ How to make more money at the job you already have
✅ The 3 rules of money nobody teaches you
✅ How to escape the financial danger zone
✅ The 75/15/10 system for every dollar you earn
✅ How to start investing (even with $1)
✅ Buy a home, or rent and invest the difference?
✅ The difference between being rich and being wealthy
