Financial independence is more than a goal—it's a necessity in today’s economy. In this powerful 16-minute episode, entrepreneur and investor Sebastian Uzcategui shares how you can start reclaiming your time, rewriting your money story, and building a future of freedom.

If you're looking to break free from 9 to 5, build passive income, or shift your investment mindset, Sebastian’s journey from immigrant to financial educator offers real answers. He reveals the exact mindset shifts, habits, and investing strategies that helped him go from working a 9–5 job to becoming a full-time investor and founder of Stocks University—all by age 20.

You’ll learn why chasing money without purpose fails, how to master options trading without taking reckless risks, and why most traditional financial advice keeps people stuck. Whether you're in debt, starting from zero, or simply tired of living paycheck to paycheck, this episode delivers the wealth creation strategies and motivation you’ve been searching for.
