Garrett Gunderson x Brett Tanner


Garrett Gunderson drops a take most financial advisors don't want you to hear: compounding interest is the greatest myth ever sold to the public. He breaks down how banks use your money for immediate cashflow while telling you to wait 30 years, then dismantles the "Warren Buffett compounded his way to wealth" argument with the actual numbers. Buffett made 5.5 million percent returns by buying companies outright, making concentrated bets, and deploying cashflow — the exact opposite of what he tells everyone else to do.
