Ep. 177 - Premium First or Loan First? 01.08.2024 11:42
What do you pay first if you can't afford both? Well, that depends on many things! Hang in there with me on this podcast; it can get a bit confusing. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 176 - Banks Know 26.07.2024 12:26
Don't always get your feelings hurt when the bank says no. Sit back, look at why they are doing that, and use it to your advantage. They may just be saving your butt. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 175 - Prepare in the Good Times for the Bad Times 18.07.2024 12:18
Always be prepared to have cashflow or low debt in the good times. Things always change, and you don't want to be in a situation where you are caught owing money and have no cashflow coming in. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 174 - Who Are You Taking Advice From? 11.07.2024 13:40
Be careful when asking others for their opinions when you are an expert on a matter. Knowledge is one thing if it's gained from due diligence; it's another when it's repeated without good sources. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 173 - Client Interview: Justin Freswick 05.07.2024 26:14

Ep. 172 - Term Insurance is NOT the Worst 27.06.2024 13:20
In this episode, we are discussing the misconceptions around term insurance and its value as a short-term death benefit solution. I explain different types of term insurance, highlighting their benefits and when they might be suitable. While term insurance is not a long-term solution like whole life insurance, it is important to maintain some form of coverage to protect your financial future. Tune...
Ep. 171 - What Did Dave Ramsey Say? 20.06.2024 15:07
Here we are again... Dave and I agree, but he seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth. Finally, he has addressed putting money into things you know, but why then is he talking about putting money into IRA's and 401k's when you don't know those things? Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 170 - How to Treat Capital Investments 13.06.2024 12:22
Have you put money into your business and paid it back? If you are putting a capital investment into a business, you better pay that back to yourself and figure in your time per hour. Without doing this, you are not looking at real numbers for profit and expenses on the business side. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 169 - Passive Investors Manipulate the Market 06.06.2024 17:15
Wealthion had a great podcast interview that I sum up here as best I can. The moral is, the gov't created a "solution" that is now creating a problem for which they can create another "solution". The opt-out 401k option is not actually helping but could hurt the market, depending on employment rates. Take a listen; there is a lot here. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 168 - Selling is Not Bad; Get Over It! 30.05.2024 16:32

Ep. 167 - Paying Cash for College 23.05.2024 10:49
It's about that time of year where parents have college coming up to pay for. Student loans are a joke, and parents are being stuck with the bill. Society has said, pay cash for your kids and never have them pay you back. There are better ways, and you as the parent need to stop using your retirement to pay for the kids' college. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 166 - Economy Update (with German Passion!) 16.05.2024 16:28
I stay away from the news for a reason, but I figured I'd take a listen this week, and now I'm mad. We are supposed to lose jobs in order to stop spending and get back to where the gov't thinks we should be. The thought process around this is absurd! Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 165 - Short Memories Equal Lost Money 09.05.2024 12:30
Why is it that so many of us forget so quickly that we lost money in a market fall? As soon as that rate of return increases, we relax and believe all is good in the world again. Why are we not paying attention and remembering what happened to our money just a year ago!? Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 164 - What Do You Love, and Do You Have the Motivation? 02.05.2024 16:46
If you have a business that is going nowhere fast, have you asked why? Is it because you don't love it, are you in your own way, or are you not filling your head with the right stuff? Get out of your head, open your mouth, and start working on your business. If you can't do that, then evaluate if you are doing the right thing. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 163 - 3 Types of Interest: Uninterrupted Compounding is King! 25.04.2024 11:43
Here is an example of why Uninterrupted Compound Interest is what you want when looking at interest on anything you're saving. Many talk about compound interest, but they don't talk about what happens when it's interrupted. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 162 - What Are PUAs? 18.04.2024 8:02
In order to make IBC work with life insurance, you want to have a PUA rider on the policy. In this episode, Ii explain what it is and how it works. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 161 - No Deal in Life Insurance 11.04.2024 8:41
"It's too good to be true," is what many think, but in reality, there are no deals, and that is what keeps it real. IBC is set on a foundation of truths, and many are not understanding those truths. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 160 - Together = Success 04.04.2024 11:00
As couples, we can do things together and be successful or we can silently support the other. What we can't do is fight with our partner and expect to make progress. That is an uphill battle, and it's proven when we look at business owners who have both people on board. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 159 - Reading the Book is Key 28.03.2024 8:10
There is a difference between reading the book and re-reading the book. You will not get everything on the first pass! Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Ep. 157 - Automatic 401K Enrollment 14.03.2024 16:54
Auto-enrollment in 401K programs is a newer thing. This was not done when I was working for others as an employee. Today, companies automatically enroll you in their 401K program, and many are not aware. Please pay attention to what is happening, and ask the question of whether you want the money there or can use it for something better. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com...
Ep. 156 - Younger Is Not Always Better 08.03.2024 11:27
Many think staring a whole life policy on someone younger is better. It is not if you want to pass on generational wealth and have a "Rockefeller effect". This is where having an IBC practitioner is important to help you strategize. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 155 - Failures and Deserving 01.03.2024 16:55
Are you willing to admit when you've made a mistake? If not, that is when you have truly failed. Successful people don't blame others for their failures; they look internally, recognize what they did wrong, fix it, and move on. So many people believe someone owes them something because they deserve it. You don't deserve anything. If you make a financial mistake, then figure it out and move on. No...
Ep. 154 - Out of the Mouths of Advisors 23.02.2024 11:54
Let's pick apart advisors' advice. Their thought process is a bit broken, and some things are hidden in their content. Let's tell the whole truth. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 153 - Use It or Lose It 16.02.2024 15:10
Making a change is not a one-time activity. If you want to be the banker, keep yourself engaged in IBC thoughts and re-read the books. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
