Episodes

Ep. 13 - You Don't Have to be Debt Free to Start IBC 18.10.2019

This episode is all about getting started with IBC and getting over what you've been taught to think. There are times we want to do long-term loans so we have liquid cash and cash flow. That cash can then be utilized to benefit you and not the bank. This can put you in a position of greatness when times are tough and allow you to act when opportunities arise. We often think of returns on our money...

Ep. 12 - Diversification, with Joshua Citrus 04.10.2019

Many farmers talk about diversification within their own asset class. For example, planting different types of crops or growing different types of animals. What most farmers are not looking at is how to diversify outside that class and use the farm to add another stream of income of a completely different kind. In this episode, I talk to the folks at Joshua Citrus, and we learn what they did to su...

Ep. 11 - Life Insurance is NOT an Investment 20.09.2019

I am often asked to compare what I do to investments. In this episode, I ask you a question that most financial advisors will never ask. In addition, you are going to learn why whole life insurance is an "AND" asset and how important it is to have liquidity, control, and guarantees. These are ALL things most people do not talk about and why this concept is so misunderstood. Rates of return do not...

Ep. 10 - Your No. 1 Source and Creator of Value 06.09.2019

This episode will challenge your thought processes, yet again, so please open your minds before you hit play. I am going to talk to you about your number one source and creator of value, urge you to get this source insured, and discuss what happens when you don't feed it what it needs. Listen all the way to the end! You won't want to miss a minute of this episode. Audio Production by Podsworth Med...

Ep. 8 - Starting from Scratch vs. Taking Over an Operation 09.08.2019

Today we attack the age-old notion that it's easier to start farming when inheriting a family operation vs. starting from scratch. Mary Jo touches on the pros and cons of those taking over family operations and why it's not as easy as you may think. There are many reasons why those starting from scratch may actually have a leg up. Listen in if you want to have some of your ideas and thought proces...

Ep. 7 - Where Do I Find Money to Start IBC 26.07.2019

The biggest thing holding many folks back from starting IBC is the question of where to find the money to start the process. In this episode, I go over SIX different ways we can look for money to get started. It's all about how you think about money and how you utilize it. There is no reason to wait to get started. R. Nelson Nash, the founder of the Infinite Banking Concept, started the process at...

Ep. 6 - Farming with Millennials 12.07.2019

Love them or hate them, the millennial generation is here to challenge us, and I am loving every minute of it. They are truly looking ahead to see what can be done differently, questioning processes, and requiring lots of information before they make final decisions. If there is a generation to make the bank Plan B, it will be them, and everyone should welcome their ideas to make things better. Au...

Ep. 5 - The Reasons For Whole Life Insurance 28.06.2019

We're digging deep into life insurance today and talking about why we use dividend paying whole life with a mutual company for the Infinite Banking Concept. I also go into teaching mode to help you understand that not all life insurance is created equal, and terminology is not always correct. Listen to find out if you truly have the right product, or if you may end up dying without the life insura...

Ep. 4 - What is the Infinite Banking Concept 14.06.2019

Today we get down and dirty about what this Infinite Banking Concept actually is. You'll find out who the founder is, why he started it, and what we need to understand about the concept versus the life insurance policy. This is a very important episode that will equip you to decide if IBC is right for you and who you are going to work with going forward. You can either do it right with the right p...

Ep. 3 - Cashflow is King, Cash is Queen 31.05.2019

In this episode, I talk about the fact that Cashflow is King, and Cash is Queen. I tackle a lot of traditional mindsets here, and you may be challenged in your thought processes. I address: Why cashflow is more important than cash, How money is unnecessarily lost when using cash to make a purchase, Compound interest vs uninterrupted compound interest, Who's running your operation? You, the banker,...

Ep. 2 - The 103 Year-Old Banking Problem 31.05.2019

We have a 103 year-old banking problem in the farming industry, and most farmers have become complacent about it. I talk about this problem and how it's affecting farmers by allowing the bank to have control of the farm and use farmers' livelihood as collateral. You may never get rid of the bank completely, but you can sure try. The bank should be plan B, not plan A, and you can make that happen....
