Denzel Rodriguez tells people earning under $100,000 that their biggest enemy is themselves. He says anxiety comes from old pain and can't be fixed with pills, only managed through spiritual tools like the armor of God. His framework, Understanding Wealth, teaches you to spot triggers and stop sabotaging yourself.
The biggest thing holding you all back under $100,000 a year— this is where we get to— I can, I can be honest with you now. Your biggest enemy is yourself. It's the sin that you still wrestle with. It's the pain that you're still holding on to that happened so long ago. It's no longer happening to you now. It's converted itself into anxiety. Uh-oh. And guess what? Anxiety is the problem. Anxiety, God put that in us. That's your fight, flight, or freeze. You need to know when to fight. Hold on! And you know when to go. No, he too big. And you need to know when to freeze. Stand with the armor of God. You can't get rid of anxiety. No pill will do that. You actually need anxiety. You don't need the trauma attached to anxiety. So when you get into the car, it's like something happens to you, or you get into a certain conversation with people, you get triggered, or this, or you get distracted, right? This is a framework that will help you. It's Understanding Wealth, okay?
