Description

Think your job is secure just because you’ve been there a long time? Think again. What’s happening across corporate America right now is a wake-up call for anyone still relying on a paycheck to fund their future. Loyalty doesn’t protect you. Tenure doesn’t protect you. And benefits disappear faster than most people expect.

In this episode, Rich Lennon breaks down why the traditional W-2 path is far more fragile than people realize, and what you can do before it’s too late. Using real-world examples, Rich explains why counting on a job for long-term security is risky, how companies actually make decisions, and the mindset shift that helped him take control of his financial future.

You’ll Learn How To:
