For 40 years, wealth has been moving faster in one direction: from people who earn it to people who own assets. Scott Galloway’s advice is blunt: “As fast as you can, move from being an earner to an owner.” There’s more than one way to get there: stocks, a business, real estate. But the path to real wealth runs through ownership. Which side are you on? 🎙️ Listen to the full conversation at bit.ly/4kaPxRU.

He was making 500 to 600 cold calls a day. Between restaurant shifts. Andres was waiting tables and playing jazz when a mortgage rate hike priced him and his wife out of buying a home. So he stopped waiting for the market to fix itself. He started calling every Zillow listing he could find. His first deal, a wholesale assignment, took nine months and nearly broke him before it paid off. The next one took nine more months of rejection, 200 to 300 calls a day, and getting fired from the restaurant twice for taking seller calls mid-shift. Then he found co-living, renting properties out room by room, and rebuilt his entire business around it. Now he owns 10 properties, manages four more, and runs 107 co-living rooms. That’s about $27,000 a month in gross cash flow, and he takes home $12,000 to $14,000 of it. Along the way, he’s GC’d 29 co-living conversions for other investors. Not bad for a guy who got priced out of buying a home. 👇 Read the full story at bit.ly/47jcNpv.

89% of Boomers believe younger workers should pay higher taxes so their Social Security checks don't get cut. The generation that had arguably the greatest economic timing in modern history, holding 50% of the nation's wealth despite making up only 20% of the population, wants current workers to pick up the tab. Meanwhile, younger Americans are facing record home prices and high rents, and paying into a system that might not pay them back in full. Taxing the generations with the least to protect the generation with the most isn’t a good solution. What's your take on this? Let's talk below.

Scott Galloway (@profgalloway) is an entrepreneur, NYU Stern School of Business professor, and author of The Algebra of Wealth. After launching numerous companies, working as an investment banker, and becoming a bestselling author, he’s earned the right to share his contrarian takes on building wealth.
