The treadmill gets more done than your bank account — and here’s why.
In this episode of Before the Returns, Jaden Zubal explores the difference between money that moves and money that works. Because just like running on a treadmill, constant motion doesn’t always mean progress.
You’ll learn how to identify when your money is simply cycling in and out — giving the illusion of activity — versus when it’s truly building momentum toward freedom.
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The “Treadmill Effect” — why activity isn’t the same as progress
- The difference between motion and momentum
- How to give every dollar a job — turning income into working capital
- Why investing in yourself often outperforms outside investments
- How the Four Pillars of Wealth (structure, control, cash flow, and movement) help you measure true progress
🔑 Key takeaway:
“Working money serves you. Busy money owns you.”
“Busy money keeps you tired. Working money keeps you free.”
