Are you tired of working harder just to stay afloat? Discover smarter ways to scale and earn, even while you sleep. 

In this episode, we dive into Ivan’s unconventional journey from finance professional to voice artist and everything in between.

We talk about the evolution of banking, how the industry shifted post-2008, and why banks suddenly want to be your best friend. Then, we get real about side hustles, the pitfalls of drop shipping, and why passive income isn’t as passive as social media makes it seem.

Expect stories about the good, the bad, and the amusing, including why Ivan once had to personally mail an order just to keep his business afloat and how he once cloned his own voice.

If you're wondering how to make extra money without falling for a get-rich-quick scheme, this episode is right up your alley.
