If credit feels stressful, confusing, or risky, James Jiang breaks down exactly why — and how to flip it.
In this episode, I sit down with James Jiang, a credit expert who explains how credit actually works behind the scenes — and how people quietly sabotage themselves without realizing it. No hype, no gimmicks. Just real clarity.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1. Why “playing it safe” with credit can actually hurt you
2. How to use credit to increase leverage instead of stress
3. The biggest credit myths keeping people stuck
4. What really impacts your credit score (and what doesn’t)
5. How to think about credit like high-level investors do
6. Simple moves to clean up and optimize your credit strategy
This episode is for you if:
1. Credit feels intimidating or overwhelming
2. You’ve made mistakes and want a smarter reset
3. You want to build wealth without financial anxiety
4. You’ve been told “debt is bad” but feel like there’s more to it
Watch with an open mind — this one might change how you see money altogether.
