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. We dive into his identity journey, leadership evolution, and the surprising truth about achieving financial freedom.

Key Discussion Topics:

• The difference between short-term vs. long-term sales
  
• Building wealth without a degree
  
• Scaling a business the hard way (through fire!)
  
• Life after selling a brokerage
  
• Why real financial freedom is eliminating the word “should” from your calendar
  
• How Alchemy of Money helps real estate entrepreneurs sleep better at night
  

Learn how to make your money work for you — and why your business’s financial backend could be holding you back.
