Every generation doesn’t have to start from scratch. In this Money Memo, I share why my wife and I are preparing for our children—and grandchildren we don’t even have yet—through our practice of the Infinite Banking Concept. I believe a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children. For me, that belief influences how I use my income today and what I’m putting in place for the future. A...

How do whole life insurance dividends actually work? Does paying additional premium increase your dividend? Is the dividend based on cash value? And what happens to the death benefit and cash value when you put more premium into a participating whole life policy? In this Infinite Banking Q&A, I answer ten practical questions involving: • Whole life insurance dividends • Additional premiums and...

What does a decade of practicing Infinite Banking actually look like? I join Jeremiah Dew of the Banking Bros to reflect on my first 10 years—from a growing family, a new business, and about $50,000 in debt to the continuing development of our family’s banking system. I share how an invitation from a friend led me to R. Nelson Nash’s Becoming Your Own Banker, why our thinking about whole life insu...

I used to think about my whole life insurance primarily in terms of what it would do for my family when I died. Today, those policies also play an active role in how we finance life. In this Money Memo, I share what changed. As a young father, I wanted life insurance I privately owned, beyond the coverage available through my job. I valued the death benefit and cash value, but I hadn’t understood...

What is term life insurance, and where does it fit if you’re investigating the Infinite Banking Concept? I explain how term insurance provides death benefit for a defined period, why privately owned coverage can matter, and how basic term differs from convertible term. For IBC, term insurance is not the asset used to implement the banking process—that role belongs to properly structured participat...

What does using Infinite Banking look like in my family’s everyday life? In this Money Memo, I share a brief update from our 11th year of practicing the Infinite Banking Concept. I explain how we use participating whole life insurance policies to help finance property taxes, vacations, business equipment, and other expenses—and how that connects with our plans for the next generation. At the time...

Here’s the Spotify-ready version. I’d simplify the YouTube-style navigation substantially for Spotify: keep the EncycloMedia identity, the seven-section framework, the main playlist link, your CTA, and the episode-specific material—but remove the seven individual playlist URLs. That keeps it cleaner for a podcast/video audience and comfortably below 4,000 characters. For Spotify, I prefer this for...

A mentor from my youth recently passed away, and it reminded me just how fleeting life really is. We spend so much time thinking about protecting our money, property, businesses, and other assets—but your number one asset is your life itself. In this short video, I reflect on life, legacy, and why protecting your human life value through life insurance is ultimately about protecting the people and...

Is an employer 401(k) match really “free money”—or are there costs and tradeoffs that are easy to overlook? In this Infinite Banking Roundtable, we examine the conventional advice to contribute enough to a 401(k) to receive the employer match and ask what that decision looks like through the lens of the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC). Our panel discusses control, access to capital, vesting, fees,...

The Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) isn’t simply about buying a whole life insurance policy—it’s about creating a better financial environment around the money already flowing through your life or business. In this short video, I discuss how becoming your own banker can provide greater control, liquidity, capitalization, and flexibility for individuals, families, and business owners. With a properl...

Can you use Infinite Banking to pay property taxes? In this installment of our Family Banking series, I show how we use our private family banking system to handle a real expense our family already has: property taxes.

What happens when you discover the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) but wait nearly a decade to take action? In this short video, I share the story of someone who first encountered Infinite Banking around 10 years ago and is now getting on my calendar to begin the process of becoming his own banker.

What is the Rule of 72, and what can it teach you about your money? The Rule of 72 is a simple financial calculation that helps estimate how long it takes money to double at a given rate of return or compound growth. In this video, we break down how the Rule of 72 works and why understanding compounding, time, and the cost of capital matters when making long-term financial decisions. For those inv...

In this real-life example, I share the story of a young mom who started building her private family banking systemand, less than a year later, found herself asking what to do with thousands of dollars in additional capital.

In this Family Banking episode, I share how we used the Infinite Banking Concept as part of the way our family manages our lifestyle—including buying a dog. This isn’t about making a dog purchase sound like a financial strategy; it’s about seeing how family banking and Infinite Banking can become part of the way a family thinks about and manages everyday financial decisions.  We explore how proper...
