How the Wealthy Think About Time and Relationships (ft. Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell)

In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, Brett Tanner and co-host Katelyn Mitchell unpack how the wealthy think differently about time and relationships — and why mastering both is the foundation for long-term freedom.

They discuss how successful entrepreneurs leverage delegation, guard their calendars, and build powerful connections that multiply opportunity.

This conversation goes deep into creating leverage in life, scaling impact through people, and protecting your most valuable resource — your time.

🔑 TOP TAKEAWAYS

• Time is the ultimate currency. How you invest it determines your wealth trajectory.
• Wealthy people buy back their time through delegation, systems, and automation.
• Relationships are your greatest ROI. Surround yourself with growth-oriented people who elevate your vision.
• Learning to say “no” is a superpower that protects your focus and energy.
• Freedom isn’t about working less — it’s about working intentionally on what moves the needle most.
