This week, Ben and Bergs dive into one of the most important (and least understood) topics: how the financial system really works and why most people get left behind.

From Ben’s banking frustrations to why holding cash is a slow bleed, they unpack how the system is built to benefit institutions, not individuals. They explain the mechanics of inflation, compound wealth erosion, and why putting money in the bank isn't just unproductive — it's dangerous long-term.

You’ll also learn how top investors and business owners structure their wealth to outpace inflation, reduce tax, and build real wealth.

Key Takeaways:

- How tax-efficient structures can double your investing power

- Why understanding money is more important than working for it

- The system is rigged, learn how to play the game, or lose by default

Most people try to figure everything out alone. We think that's the slowest (and hardest) way to grow.

In this episode, we talk about the single decision that’s accelerated our careers more than anything else: hiring coaches. From running marathons to raising millions—coaches have been our cheat code.

We break down why the best performers in every field have mentors, the blind spots you're probably missing, and how to fast-track your progress—whether in business, life, or crypto.

Key Takeaways

☉ Why hiring coaches is the ultimate cheat code for growth

☉ How to identify your blind spots and fix them fast

☉ The difference between real experience and empty advice
