How the Rich Use Tax Strategy to Build Long-Term Wealth | Mark J. Kohler

Taxes are the single biggest expense most Americans will ever face—and yet almost no one is taught how they really work.

In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford is joined by Mark J. Kohler, renowned Main Street tax attorney, to break down how the tax code is designed to reward certain behaviors—and how everyday entrepreneurs can legally take advantage of it.

This conversation covers:

• Why side hustles unlock powerful tax advantages

• How small business owners can dramatically reduce their effective tax rate

• The difference between delegating taxes and leading your tax strategy

• Why depreciation, real estate, and alternative investments matter

• How wealthy individuals think differently about money and taxes

• Why the tax code incentivizes entrepreneurship, housing, and investment

Mark explains that the tax system isn’t broken—it’s behavior-based. Those who understand the rules use them to build wealth, while everyone else overpays out of fear or ignorance.

If you’re a business owner, investor, or building a side hustle, this episode will change how you think about money—and what you keep.
