In this episode, we challenge the overhyped narrative around passive income and financial freedom. With brutal honesty and deep care, Jessen breaks down the myth of "passive income" and why chasing quick wins might be the very thing holding you back. Instead, he calls on listeners to double down on what truly works—active income—especially if you're currently struggling or just barely getting by. It's a powerful wake-up call for anyone trying to escape their financial reality without facing it first.
Key Takeaways:
Passive income is rarely ever passive—it requires time, energy, and maintenance. If you're struggling financially, your focus should be on increasing active income through extra work, smarter time management, or more income-generating activities. There is no shortcut to stability. First, get solid. Then invest.
Podcast Highlights:
Jessen shares a heartfelt and no-nonsense message to those living paycheck to paycheck, urging them to stop chasing unrealistic promises of quick wealth. He emphasises that stability comes from effort—working extra hours, taking on another job, or tightening your focus on what actually earns. Through relatable examples and real talk, he breaks down how most of us waste time and energy and encourages listeners to use their full potential while they still can. The truth is uncomfortable—but it’s exactly what many need to hear to shift gears and truly move forward.
