In this episode, we sit down with Evan Rugen — CEO of Let's Get Funded — to break down exactly how he went from -$300,000 in credit card debt at 27 to unlocking $1.8 million in 0% interest business funding, all without ever handing over a tax return. Evan walks through the credit repair and business-credit system he built to save his own real estate portfolio, why he'll never pay a dollar of interest on that $1.8M, and the mindset blocks (plus a hypnosis session) that had to break before the money did. He also gets into the industries that lean on this kind of funding most, the red flags that get people denied on the spot, and why he thinks real income freedom starts at $50K a month.
