Does formal education really teach you how to build wealth?

In this episode of What Is Rich?, Brett Chestnut, Managing Director at Northwestern Mutual, shares a powerful insight: while school gave him valuable tools, it didn’t teach him how to create wealth.

What made the difference?

Exposure.

Watching financial decisions being made. Seeing money grow. Observing ownership in action. That early exposure sparked curiosity and built belief—two critical components in long-term wealth creation.

In this conversation, Brett breaks down:
• What traditional education gets right
• What it misses about wealth building
• Why exposure shapes financial confidence
• How belief influences long-term investing
• The real foundation of generational wealth

If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem financially confident while others hesitate, this discussion will shift your perspective.
