Do This, NOT That: Marketing Tips with Jay Schwedelson

The internet turned money advice into extremes, so Jay Schwedelson brought on Braiden Shaw to share the practical middle path. You’ll hear the simple 3-step ladder he uses to build wealth, why paying off your mortgage fast is not always the math win, and the counterintuitive way he grew from 2k to 1M followers by never selling for a year.
