You've been at the same company for three years, and you just watched someone smarter than you get walked out with a box. Your entire income — gone in a Tuesday afternoon meeting.
That's not bad luck. That's what happens when you build your financial life around one client, and that client is your employer. In this episode, Josh and Caleb break down why your W-2 gives you the illusion of security without the substance of it, why diversifying your skills — not just your income — is the actual hedge, and how AI is making it easier than ever to build something on the side without going back to school or quitting your job.
If you're tired of feeling like one bad quarter away from starting over, this is the conversation you needed to hear.
