Show Notes

Gil Vaisman edited reality TV for a living, built his own accessory dwelling unit with his wife in 2017 as an owner-builder, and turned the scar tissue into GoADU. He talks with host Zaneta Chuniq Inpower about the real napkin math on an ADU, the passive-income myth, and why his actual goal is to make himself unnecessary.

In this episode
