Everyone talks about passive income, but what if the fastest way to make real money isn’t launching a course or building a product?

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Huber—entrepreneur, investor, and author of The Sweaty Startup—to explore why trading time for money might be the most underrated path to financial freedom.
