Most people were taught the same money advice: get good grades, go to college, find a good job, work hard, and stay out of debt, but what if following that advice is exactly what's keeping you financially trapped?

In this episode of the Zero to 100 Podcast, we break down some of the worst financial advice we've been given and why the traditional path to success isn't working for so many people.

We discuss why a high-paying job doesn't guarantee financial freedom, the difference between good debt and bad debt, and how owning cash-flowing assets like real estate can change your relationship with money.

We also talk about the lessons from Rich Dad Poor Dad, why financial education matters more than ever, and how ordinary people can start building wealth outside their 9-to-5 jobs.

In this episode:

• Why working hard doesn't always lead to wealth
• Is college still worth the money in 2026?
• The difference between good debt and bad debt
• Why wealthy people focus on owning assets
• How real estate investing can create passive income
• Breaking free from the 9-to-5 rat race
• The financial education most people never receive

You don't have to quit your job tomorrow or become a full-time investor. But if you're tired of trading your time for money, it might be time to question the advice you've been following.

Mitch spent 13 years saving a large share of his income. Then one property investment made him more than twice those savings in 18 months.

In this episode of Zero to 100 Tribe, Mitch and Gabe discuss the shift from chasing a bigger paycheck to buying assets that could give them more control over their time.

They explore their early beliefs about money, why disciplined saving alone wasn’t delivering the freedom they wanted, and how resourcefulness and financing helped them build their real estate portfolios.

Their goal was being able to spend more time with their families, travel, and choose how to spend their days. Money and real estate became tools to make that possible.

People have lent Gabe millions to invest in real estate. Those relationships started with something simple: letting people know what he does.

In this episode of Zero to 100 Tribe, Gabe and Mitch discuss how the people around them helped them find private lenders, solve property problems, and grow their rental portfolios.

Gabe shares lessons from speaking at a real estate mastermind, while Mitch explains what changed when he started treating relationships as a core part of his investing business.

We cover:

• How everyday conversations can lead to private lending opportunities

• Building relationships without treating everyone as a potential source of money

• Finding lenders, brokers, and property managers through people you know

• Why books and podcasts can only take you so far

• How meeting experienced investors can give you the confidence to buy bigger deals

• Having people to call when a property or deal gets difficult

If nobody knows you invest in real estate, they can’t connect you with the people who could help.
