044: Why Trading Time For Money Is The Best Way To Build Your Business - with Nick Huber

Everyone talks about passive income, but what if the fastest way to make real money isn’t launching a course or building a product? In this episode, I sit down with Nick Huber—entrepreneur, investor, and author of The Sweaty Startup—to explore why trading time for money might be the most underrated path to financial freedom. We talk service businesses, scalable skills, and how doing unsexy work can lead to life-changing results.
