Welcome to another episode of the Built for More podcast! In this discussion, host Lane Taylor introduces listeners to Chris Miles, co-host of the Money Ripples podcast and an anti-financial advisor who has transformed conventional views on financial freedom. Chris shares his compelling journey from working as a traditional financial advisor to achieving financial independence through innovative passive income strategies.

Listeners will gain insights into Chris's philosophy on living a "built for more" life, with a focus on how money can create a ripple effect and bless others. Chris and Lane dive into questions about traditional financial advice, investigate high-risk investment myths, and present inspiring success stories from Chris's clients who have turned their financial situations around under his guidance. Chris also discusses his personal transformation, overcoming a scarcity mentality, and the importance of generating income rather than accumulating wealth.

The episode provides practical tips for generating passive income, challenges misconceptions around 401Ks and mutual funds, and underscores the role of trust and stewardship in financial ventures. Whether seasoned investors or those just starting out, listeners will find the episode packed with valuable insights for rethinking their financial approaches and unlocking their potential.
