So many ambitious people today feel like they’re doing everything right, getting the degree, working hard, climbing the ladder... and yet still struggling to make real financial progress.

It’s not your imagination.

The old playbook that worked for previous generations doesn’t work anymore.

In this solo episode, I break down the truth behind why so many Millennials and Gen Z feel stuck, frustrated, or left behind… and more importantly, what actually works today.

Drawing on over a decade of experience advising clients as an Investment Manager, I explain:

• Why housing, wages, degrees and social mobility have completely shifted

• How wealth moved from income → ownership (and why that matters for you)

• Why your parents’ roadmap no longer applies in today’s economy

• The modern playbook for building wealth sustainably and realistically

• How to increase your earning power, not just your savings

• Why a second income stream is becoming essential, not optional

• How your network can accelerate your career more than any qualification

• Why redefining your timeline can unlock huge opportunities
