Ever feel like property or company shares are sold as the “one-way ticket” to financial freedom - only to end up feeling like a second job? In this episode of Wealth Bytes, Mo Shouman explains why relying on one strategy is a risky bet, and how building a stable of wealth strategies creates real freedom. 

Drawing inspiration from champion horse trainer Willie Mullins, Mo introduces the Nine Horses of the Confident Choice System - a framework that helps tech professionals reduce tax, diversify, and buy back their time without stress.
