When it comes to building wealth, most of us were never taught where to start—or how to make our money work harder than we do. In this episode, we sit down with financial advisor and community leader PJ Hill to learn how to move from surviving to scaling. He breaks down the steps from day one: build your emergency fund, set up retirement contributions, protect your family with simple term life insurance, and automate investments so wealth becomes a habit.

We explore PJ’s “four buckets” framework—business income, qualified accounts, non-qualified brokerage, and private markets—and how thinking like a family office can help us coordinate taxes, legal, insurance, and investments under one strategy. Along the way, PJ shares how his family uses insurance and governance to turn assets into opportunity. His message is clear: we all deserve wealth—it’s time to build it intentionally, together.
