10 Things I’d Do If I Had to Start Over Financially and Professionally

In this episode, Brenton shares what he would do if he had to start over at ground zero in a new city with no money or relationships, inspired by a recent article about financial advice for Gen Z. He covers 10 steps he feels would give him a leg up, from collecting and organize email addresses, to prioritizing accessible capital over retirement funds. He then talks about wider a transferable skill set as a “generalist specialist” in an AI-disrupted economy and the dangers of comparing yourself to others.
