In this episode of the Jake and Gino Podcast, we sit down with Brandon Green, founder of Alchemy of Money, to unpack a journey filled with transformation, entrepreneurial grit, and real estate mastery.

From cold-calling in IT sales to flipping foreclosures with FHA loans, Brandon shares how early failures and IRS audits paved the way to building scalable, investor-focused financial services.
