Free vs Paid: Why Giving Builds Wealth Long-Term


Listen Later

Most people give up too early on giving—because they expect ROI too soon. Perry Belcher & Emma Rainville have other plans.

Perry Belcher & Emma Rainville take a quick but savage dive into why “free” can outperform “paid” when it comes to marketing, mentorship, and business relationships. From stories about Perry’s kids to boardroom moments with Remington Firearms, this episode unpacks the hidden leverage of generosity—and what separates strategic givers from clueless ones. If you’ve ever wrestled with pricing your value, or wondered why some people seem to get all the opportunities, this one hits home.

We cover:

  • How to use free offers to test partnerships and qualify people
  • The 7-11-4 rule for building trust that sells
  • When giving away time is a bottleneck—and when it’s a superpower
  • Why Emma’s kid walked away from three job offers after a free gig
  • The art of “askless leverage” (and how to cash in without cash)
