High income does not automatically create freedom. Many entrepreneurs build impressive net worths while remaining tied to their businesses. In this conversation, Chris Miles explains why cash flow matters more than accumulation and how rethinking money changes what freedom actually looks like.

• What “work optional” actually means and why it’s more achievable than you think
