Millennial Millionaire Ep. 76 - Chad Peterson
In this raw, unfiltered episode, we're joined by Chad Peterson, the #1 business broker in the country and founder of Peterson Acquisitions.
Chad drops serious game on how to build wealth by buying businesses, leveraging debt, and cutting through the noise most people believe about money, real estate, and retirement.
He breaks down:
Why 401(k)s and IRAs are traps
How the SBA will fund up to $5M for you to buy a business
The truth about side hustles, "legacy," and chasing passion
How to avoid the financial killers of divorce and lawsuits
And why most men (and entrepreneurs) are lying to themselves
This is the episode they won’t play in business school. It’s blunt, controversial, and incredibly valuable.
