Is it really possible to retire at 34—without winning the lottery or building a startup?
In this episode, Melissa Nash sits down with Sam Dogen, also known as the Financial Samurai, to talk about how he walked away from Wall Street, negotiated a six-figure severance, and built a 7-figure portfolio through smart investing and one bold, life-changing move.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why most people miss the $250K wealth milestone—and how to reach it faster
✅ How to build passive income that funds your freedom
✅ The “One Property Per Child” strategy for generational wealth
✅ Why saving until it hurts now can buy freedom later
✅ The mindset shift that separates future millionaires from paycheck-to-paycheck cycles
This episode is packed with real talk, practical steps, and the kind of financial wisdom that changes lives—not just bank accounts.
