What if the real challenge in building wealth isn’t income, discipline, or market performance but the lack of control most people never realize they’ve given away?

In this episode of the Make Life Less Taxing Podcast, Daniel Hanzelka sits down with Kish Rao, founder of KKR Wealth Group and creator of the Wealth Builders Interactive, to explore what it truly means to take control of your money and your time.

After more than 30 years in the tech industry, Kish made the difficult decision to leave his W-2 career just as his daughter was beginning college. What followed wasn’t a leap of blind faith, but a thoughtful shift toward systems, education, and intentional stewardship. Kish shares how learning to think differently about money changed not just his finances, but his peace of mind, family priorities, and long-term vision.

This conversation goes beyond strategies and labels. It’s about understanding money as a tool, building systems instead of chasing products, and creating stability that supports real life not just account balances.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
• Why control often matters more than returns
• The difference between storing money and investing it
• How systems create flexibility and confidence
• Why education not products drives better decisions
• What financial peace actually looks like in real life
