What if the secret to building wealth wasn't new at all? In this candid conversation, historian and accidental millionaire Joseph S. Moore, PhD, the best-selling author of "Founding Sins" and the new book "How to Get Rich in American History," draws on three centuries of American financial history to separate timeless money wisdom from the noise. His journey — from cryptocurrency founder to moon land investor to self-made millionaire — is as entertaining as it is instructive. Join us for a lively discussion that will change the way you think about money, opportunity, and what it actually takes to get ahead.
You'll walk away with:
- A clearer picture of which financial habits have stood the test of time — and which "hot trends" are just history repeating itself
- A fresh perspective on why building wealth may be more achievable today than at almost any other point in American history
- Practical, historically-grounded strategies for thinking differently about work, risk, and long-term financial independence
