They Lied To You About Learning A Trade

from Wisdom to Wealth Podcast Hosted by Shamara "Star" Cox

There are two wealth systems running at the same time. And the wealthy aren't the enemy. They're the blueprint. In this episode of Wisdom to Wealth, Shine and I break down the conversation nobody had with us growing up. Go to college. Learn a trade. Get a secure job. That was the plan. And for a lot of us, we followed it faithfully. But security and wealth are not the same thing, and once you see the difference, you can't unsee it. The wealthy were never taught to learn a trade. They were taught to own, invest, and build. That's the trade they passed down to their kids. And the good news is, it's a system anyone can learn. We just have to be willing to follow suit. We also got into something that stopped me cold in the Wealth Wire segment. Harvey Weinstein stole the Scary Movie franchise from the Wayans family. Built an empire off their idea. And the Wayans didn't receive their royalties. This episode is for the CEOs and business owners ready to stop trading time for money and start building real wealth. The trade you need to learn isn't a skill. It's a system. And we're breaking it all the way down. _________ Join the AI Content to Cash Challenge: https://www.contenttocashchallenge.com/ VIP Experience: https://www.contenttocashchallenge.com/VIP Diamond Experience: https://www.contenttocashchallenge.com/diamond-experience Editor: Mishka Sibert | IG: https://www.instagram.com/mishkasibert/ Generational Gold Images Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-OEeMcw5aU Download the full episode on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0xLqM79hEvKcr9QjQ9TppB?si=bBaTyCMcRFyPlZvrv-t75A Subscribe to the Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BookofStar Follow Star on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookofstar_/ Follow Star on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bookofstar?
