Assets and Orthopedics

What If Everything You’ve Learned About Money Is Wrong?

Kyle Stephenson, D.O. Season 1 Episode 37

In this episode of Assets and Orthopedics, I sit down with Garrett Gunderson — New York Times bestselling author, founder of Wealth Factory, and one of the most disruptive financial thinkers of our time. Garrett shares his powerful philosophy of intentional wealth, busts the myths of traditional money advice, and breaks down why most high-income earners are unknowingly playing a losing game.

If you're a physician, entrepreneur, or investor who’s tired of the sacrifice-and-save model, this episode is your permission to prosper.
