💡 Episode Summary

In this episode of Millionaires Unveiled, we sit down with Brandon, founder and CEO of Thor Metals Group, to explore his journey from investment banking to building a multimillion-dollar empire in the world of precious metals. With a net worth north of $17.5 million, Brandon shares how he built his fortune through gold, silver, and strategic stock investments—while choosing to rent his home instead of buying.

Brandon opens up about his philosophy that real estate can be a liability, why he believes gold is the "secret investment" most people overlook, and how fulfillment, not just money, drives his decisions.
