Ep 37: What if everything you’ve been told about retirement is wrong?

Ryan Lee, co-founder of Cashflow Tactics and creator of the Passive Income Machine, joins me for a mind-bending conversation that will shake up how you see money, freedom, and your future.

After climbing the corporate ladder, Ryan was forced to rethink everything when his son needed emergency open-heart surgery. That moment flipped a switch: success at the expense of family and freedom wasn’t success at all. From that day forward, Ryan dedicated himself to building wealth that buys back time…not just money.

Today, he’s helped thousands ditch outdated financial advice, step out of Wall Street’s grip, and create passive income streams that allow them to retire in 10 years or less. This conversation goes deep into the outdated rules we’re still clinging to, why “savers are losers,” and how to turn fake dollars into real assets.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by the traditional path of 40 years of work for a maybe-retirement, this episode will blow the doors wide open.

Listen in to discover:

✔️ Why the rules of retirement planning stopped working in the year 2000

✔️ The principles that simplify money when everything feels “unprecedented”

✔️ How to convert fake dollars into real assets that pay you for life

✔️ Why financial freedom isn’t about net worth—it’s about time

✔️ The step-by-step pathway to retiring in 10 years or less

Why listen?

Because the rules of money changed, and no one told you. This episode is your wake-up call to reclaim control, protect your family, and finally buy back your time.
