Description

Most people aren't stuck by accident. They're stuck by design.

From the moment you're born, you're handed a script. What to believe, what to want, what's possible and what isn't. Most people never question it.

Brainwash to Be Broke exists to change that.

Hosted by Adam Rother, this show pulls back the curtain on the social programming, beliefs, and conditioning quietly running your life. The stories about money, religion, relationships, health, and identity you believe so deeply you don't even know you believe them.

This isn't just about being broke financially. It's about being mentally broke. Stuck in thinking handed to you by people just as conditioned as you are.

Raw, unfiltered conversations with founders, thinkers, and people who woke up, questioned everything, and rebuilt life on their own terms.

If you've ever felt like something is off but couldn't name it, you're in the right place.

It's time to break the script.
