Episode 30: Charlie Chang (@charlie__chang) is the owner of his own real estate brokerage, an Amazon FBA seller, and a personal finance YouTuber with over 100,000 subscribers. But before all of this, he was once, like Dominic, a recent graduate looking to get into medical school.Medical school didn't end up happening, and so Charlie instead opted to become his own boss and work for himself.
