Why I started this YouTube channel

On this first day of Christmas, I’m sharing something different — the real story behind this YouTube channel.
Why I started it in the first place, why I talk about money the way I do, and the mission that drives everything I create here.
If you’ve ever wondered why I focus on wealth building, why I believe your income is your superpower, or why financial freedom matters so much to me… this video explains it all.
My hope is simple: that this channel becomes the place you come to build wealth without sacrificing the lifestyle you love — using systems, clarity, and confidence instead of overwhelm or restriction.
Thank you for being here. Truly.
Let’s make the coming year your wealthiest one yet. ✨
