Most people are stuck in a linear grind, trading hours for dollars, while the elite are playing a completely different game—the game of strategic positioning and structural indispensability . 🧠💸 In this episode, we deconstruct the psychology of wealth through a Machiavellian lens. We’re moving beyond basic finance into the realm of financial engineering and power dynamics .
