In this episode, I’m opening up about my political views for the first time and discussing how U.S. policies shape wealth building, personal finance, and investment strategy. I’ll cover everything from the effects of inflation on generational wealth to the economic divides between states like California and Texas. My goal is to give you a clear look at the economic realities that impact anyone focused on growing wealth, whether you’re an investor, entrepreneur, or just trying to make informed financial decisions.

Here’s what I’ll be diving into:

• Why federal vs. state policies matter for investors
• How inflation affects wealth differently across generations
• Key differences in landlord and business costs between California and Texas
• Practical advice on finding growth opportunities in today’s financial landscape

I hope you’ll find these insights useful as you navigate the complexities of the current economy and make your own financial decisions.
