Summary
Built to Own kicks off with the one thing nobody told you – the door to ownership has always been open. Clint and Ben tackle the quiet assumption that wealth belongs to other people, lay out the gap between renter math and ownership math, and preview the four pillars that will carry the series across the next ten weeks. No pitch, no funnel – just the framework working families have used for generations to build real wealth.
