Rachel and Nathan will be recording an episode live from the main stage at #FinCon23!
Did you know that the majority of billionaires are self-made?
For most people, the idea of becoming a billionaire is impossible, an elusive club that only a few are granted access to. But what if that’s actually not the case? What if we told you that your wildest dreams are not only possible, but absolutely attainable?
This is The Billion Dollar Creator. A podcast built to bring you and your business the success you deserve.
Join Rachel Rodgers and Nathan Barry as they explore business-changing tactics and real-life stories that bridge the gap from a Billion Dollar Idea into a Billion Dollar Business.
Rachel and Nathan will explore both the wild successes and the missed opportunities – from creators who made the decision to graduate their business into something bigger to those who should have made the move (or tried to) and didn’t quite get there.
