Episode Synopsis

Inflation is hitting hard, prices are climbing, and yet many workers haven't seen a pay raise in years... Brian digs into why pay increases aren't keeping up – and what you can do about it. From union vs. non-union wages to the art of asking for a raise (with proof you deserve it), he explores the trade-offs between job security and higher pay. Plus, real stories, including one caller's take on union negotiations and Brian's personal leap from employee to entrepreneur after being denied a raise. The conversation goes deeper, connecting workplace value to larger economic forces like tariffs, automation, and the rise of AI and robotics – and why staying relevant is your best defense against being replaced   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley
