About this listen
Most people spend their entire careers chasing higher salaries. I used to be one of them—until I realized I was playing the wrong game. Wealth isn’t built through salary alone. It’s built through equity.
In this episode, I’ll share the wealth strategy no one talks about—but that transformed my life. Through smart use of equity compensation, I built a $6 million net worth, retired early, and created the freedom to truly live life on my terms.
I break it all down with real-world examples. You’ll meet Sarah, who focused on maximizing her salary, and Jessica, who played the equity game. Even though Jessica earned less in salary, she ended up nearly $1 million ahead—because she understood how stock grants and equity refreshes compound over time.
This isn’t just for tech executives or startup founders. Whether you're an engineer, a product manager, or anyone with access to stock-based compensation, this could be your most powerful wealth-building tool.
So if you’ve ever asked yourself, “How do people actually get rich without starting a company?”—this is the video for you. I’ll walk you through how equity works, how to negotiate for it, and why it might be more valuable than your paycheck.
