The Businessman Hustler vs. The Hourly Worker Investor
In this deeply personal episode, John opens up about the two most influential money legacies in his life: his father, a relentless hustling businessman, and his mother, a disciplined hourly worker who quietly built lasting wealth. Through their contrasting approaches—one fueled by entrepreneurship and hustle, the other by financial literacy, credit, and steady investing—John explores powerful lessons about success, failure, and the true keys to generational wealth.

Hustle may open the door, but strategy, stewardship, and smart money habits are what keep you in the room. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s better to grind as an entrepreneur or build steadily as an employee, this episode will change the way you look at money, wealth, and legacy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
