Episodes

Ep. 52 - Premium is the Solution 04.03.2022

Many do not want to pay premium or want to pay the smallest amount they can. That is broken thinking; premium is the solution, not the problem. The problem is what we are doing now. We must create our bank, and to do so, we must pay premium. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Ep. 51 - 401K Trick and Saving to Retirement 25.02.2022

There may be a trick to getting your match and getting the money out without penalty. Also, if you are 30 years old and being told you can save your way into retirement, that is a lie. Because of inflation, you'll need close to $10 million to live like you are today on $100K per year. Numbers don't lie, listen in. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Ep. 46 - BYOB Review: Use It or Lose It 21.01.2022

So many people think IBC is about rates of return when it's really about a thought process and human nature.

If you do that, you forget why you even bought it to begin with. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Ep. 45 - Liquidity of Money is Important 14.01.2022

Doing a 15-year mortgage to save money on interest could be hurting your actual income and cash flow for retirement. Don't get caught up in the rates when you are ignoring cash flow. The only way to create cash flow is to have liquidity of money. It's a great formula that so many are missing out on. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Ep. 44 - Compartmentalizing Money 07.01.2022

Separating money into different accounts is not necessary if you are an honest banker and pay yourself back. In fact, it could be keeping you from creating cash flow. Listen in as I share some examples of why there is only one pool to take money from. Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Nelson always said if we use the banks we are part of the inflation problem.
