Reaching a seven-figure net worth isn't just about income—it's about decisions.
In this Milestones to Millionaire episode, a CRNA walks through how he built wealth, why he ultimately fired his financial advisor, and the challenges that came with taking full ownership of his financial life. The conversation covers income and net worth context, the emotional and practical hurdles of managing money independently, and how spousal alignment played a role in long-term success.
This episode isn't about shortcuts or market timing. It's about clarity, accountability, and the decisions that mattered most on the path to the first million—especially for high-income professionals navigating complex financial choices.
