Chris Miles – Founder of Money Ripples: The Anti-Financial Advisor Redefining Freedom
Chris Miles, founder of MoneyRipples.com, joins Clicks & Bricks to break down what financial freedom really looks like—beyond Wall Street, beyond the “save and pray” strategy, and beyond the outdated advice most Americans still follow. Chris retired twice by age 39, escaped the traditional financial system, and now helps high-income earners create real passive income so work becomes optional—not mandatory.
As a Gen X “trust but verify” thinker, Chris built Money Ripples to teach clients how to replace scarcity with stewardship, control, and cash flow. His mission is simple: help people live life now, not tomorrow.
Key Takeaways from the Episode:
Financial freedom isn’t about net worth—it’s about monthly income. Chris shows clients how to free trapped money and turn it into recurring revenue.
Traditional financial advice keeps people stuck. Set-and-forget investing, 401(k) dependence, and “go debt-free” aren’t creating true freedom.
Debt isn’t the enemy—misusing it is. Leveraging cheap money can be a powerful wealth tool when done wisely.
Most money leaks come from opportunity losses. The biggest mistake isn’t overspending—it’s letting equity, cash, or retirement savings sit idle.
Work optional is the new retirement. Chris helps clients build enough passive income to choose work rather than rely on it.
