In this powerful episode, Jess and Brandon sit down with Ange Matthews, a first-generation investor and founder of The Happy Happy Method, who went from making $40K a year and battling six-figure debt to building seven-figure passive wealth. No trust fund, no finance degree, just side hustles, value investing, and mindset shifts that changed everything.

You’ll learn:

• How Ange invested while still in debt, and why she doesn’t believe in being debt-free before building wealth
• What the 2008 crash taught her about seeing downturns as opportunities
• The truth about accredited investing, and how it opens the door to angel deals, hotels, and private wealth
• Why she used her gains to fund maternity leave, caregiving, real estate and Broadway opportunities 

This is a no-jargon, story-driven guide for anyone curious about investing but unsure where to start. Whether you’re a busy parent, first-gen investor, or someone ready to move from consumer to owner, this episode breaks it down in a real and relatable way.
