The Anti-Financial Advisor’s Guide to Passive Income and Freedom with Chris Miles

In this episode of The PETE Podcast, I sit down with Chris Miles, the founder of Money Ripples and the anti-financial advisor who’s helping entrepreneurs and investors break free from traditional money myths. Chris shares how he went from financial advisor to financially independent twice—first by following conventional wisdom, then again by doing the exact opposite. We dig into what the financial industry doesn’t want you to know, why cash flow always beats accumulation, and how to reposition your assets to generate real passive income. If you’ve ever wondered how to actually create financial freedom instead of just talking about it, this episode will change how you think about money, investing, and your exit strategy.
