  • Guest Elsha Kim - Financial Literacy: Unlock Your Income Potential Now!
    Dec 31 2025

    “As we head into a new year, most people are setting goals.
    They want to save more, get out of debt, feel less stressed about money.

    But here’s the truth—most people don’t have a budgeting problem.
    They have an income problem.

    Grant Cardone teaches that wealth is built in a specific order:
    Income first. Then saving. Then investing. Then multiplying.

    And today, we’re going to challenge some average thinking around money.
    Because you don’t budget your way to freedom—you earn, invest, and grow your way there.

    I’m joined today by Elsha Kim, a licensed financial professional, and we’re going to have a real conversation about income, investing, and how to set financial goals that actually work—so this year isn’t just another reset, but a breakthrough.”
