EPISODE DESCRIPTION

My new book, Own Or Be Owned, is all about building a business so good it doesn't need you. More profit, less pain. It's out September 18, grab your ticket to the launch event here: https://contrarianthinking.biz/oobo_bigdeal - cs Live from the main stage at Create & Cultivate LA, I took the audience inside the shift from hustle mode to true owner mode; from grinding for every dollar to building wealth that works while you sleep. I walked through the exact deal frameworks I use to evaluate opportunities, the painful lessons from my worst investments, and the wins that changed my life. We talked about why deal terms matter more than price, how to reframe the way you think about money, and the mindset shifts that turn everyday people into owners. My mission is simple: to arm you with the playbook for smart deal-making and financial freedom, so you stop trading time for money and start building a life where your money works harder than you do.
