Are you ready to break free from the system and rethink everything you've been taught about your reliance on money? In this episode, we dive deep into our broken economic system, how to escape the rat race, and what you can do to create an alternative economic system in your local community. Society conditions us to trade our time for money, but what if there’s another way? We explore skill swapping, alternative education, and self-sufficiency —showing you how to reclaim your time and design a life that works for YOU.
From escaping the 9 to 5 to understanding why jobs keep you poor, we question the traditional path and share insights on how to shift your mindset, find power in your resourcefulness, and stop merely surviving. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of work, stress, and bills, this episode is for you.
