In this episode, I sit down with Joe Pantozzi to expose how the financial system is designed to favor the banks—and how even smart, hardworking people often end up playing by rules that were never meant to help them win.
We dive into the hidden costs of toxic debt, the illusion of “good credit,” and the subtle traps that drain your wealth without you realizing it. This conversation is all about clarity—so you can stop leaking money and start taking control.
I also share how truly successful investors think differently, and why the smartest thing you can do right now may be to completely reorder your financial priorities.
If you're serious about making your money work harder for you and your family, this episode is a game-changer.
