In this episode of The Creator Passport Podcast, we’re sitting down with Mel Abraham, entrepreneur, author of Building Your Money Machine, and financial educator helping creators and business owners build wealth with intention.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance the unpredictability of content creation with long-term financial security, this conversation will be a game-changer. Mel breaks down money myths that keep creators stuck, the systems to start building wealth (even if you’re living invoice to invoice), and how to make sure your financial life supports the lifestyle you actually want to live.

We’re covering:

• The #1 money myth holding most creators back

• Why time is your greatest wealth-building lever (and how to use it wisely)

• The simple system to start saving and investing (even with inconsistent income)

• How to set up “money dates” with your partner—or yourself—to reduce financial stress

• When to know it’s safe to quit your 9–5 and go all in on content creation

• The five types of income that make up a true “Money Machine”

• Why creators can (and should) have retirement accounts, 401(k)s, and long-term wealth plans

• How to avoid “shiny object syndrome” and build your financial life in your own lane

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll figure out money later,” or felt overwhelmed by the financial side of running your business, this episode will show you how to start small, gain confidence, and build an unshakable foundation for your future.
