Ep. 151 - The Disease of More 02.02.2024 9:38
While trying to get ahead in life, so many folks are leveraging themselves to the point of trouble.

Be careful and pay attention to what you are doing so you don't find yourself over-leveraged, even if you are borrowing from your policy. Audio Production b...
Ep. 150 - It's Really Easy When You Quit Making It So Hard 26.01.2024 13:20
Infinite Banking is such a different way of thinking, and we tend to make it harder than it is. We compare it to things we shouldn't, we compartmentalize money, and we struggle with loan paybacks. We have been conditioned not to think and our imaginations have been stifled. Quit making it so hard and get creative! Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Ep. 148 - Using Inheritance & Retirement Funds 12.01.2024 10:27
So many people use lump sums of money to start a business but never actually pay themselves back. This makes your books look better than they really are. This was not a free loan to yourself; you must pay it back. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 147 - Are You a Lazy Investor? 05.01.2024 15:31
Are you actually doing your due diligence on what to do with your money, or are you like most of America, just a bunch of sheep? When you come across IBC, you then are labeled a black sheep, and we welcome you here, but you have to understand that you question things while most do not.

Ep. 146 - 3 Hidden 401k Facts 29.12.2023 11:54
So many people put money into their 401K but don't know the rules. These are not officially hidden, but it seems as if employees don't know on purpose. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 145 - Is This Legal and Legit? 22.12.2023 20:59
So many people find the infinite banking concept and think it's illegal. In this episode, I explain why I believe we have lost the knowledge of this 200 year-old product and why you need to listen to people who are educated on it. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 144 - Talking about Rates of Return... AGAIN! 15.12.2023 15:49
Fair warning: this is a rant! ...and I have said most of this before! ...but a lot of you need to hear it again! When you truly understand what IBC is about, you stop listening to the noise. Let's get back to basics! Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 143 - Family Money 08.12.2023 20:38

Ep. 142 - Biggest Mistake: Human Error 01.12.2023 20:44
Why are some IBC-users successful while others say IBC didn't work for them? Why are some business owners successful while the same type of business can be failing miserably for others? Human error. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 141 - Jealousy Kills Curiosity 24.11.2023 19:20
Are you so jealous that it is keeping you where you are? For many, the answer is yes. Look around at those who are jealous; they typically don't even ask questions about how things are done or how people advance in life. These are the, "must be nice," people. Do you want to be like that for the rest of your life? ...or do you want to learn, advance, and enjoy a higher level of success in life? Aud...
Ep. 140 - The Karwells on Short-Term Rentals 17.11.2023 56:36
So many people are investing in short-term rentals (like AirBnB's), so why not have the experts on the show to find out more about how to do this? I love these ladies' podcast, Catch up with The KarWells, so I brought Emily and Sarah on to share some of their knowledge. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 139 - What Character Are You? 10.11.2023 12:29
We talk about being the banker with Infinite Banking, but a lot of people do not understand what that means. There are three characters in play, and you want to be all three, not just the borrower. With that comes responsibility that will either make this work or kill it. You get to decide how good of a banker and bank owner you want to be. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.c...
Ep. 138 - Premiums Equal Income 03.11.2023 8:52

Don't just look at his debt program; look at what he and every other wealthy person does: they create cash flow! Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 136 - Should Married Couples Have Separate Accounts? 20.10.2023 17:18
There is so much debate about this, and so many people think what they are doing is wrong. Do what works for you... but here are my two cents on why I don't believe it's necessary and more of a personal issue than a money issue. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com
Ep. 135 - Big, Big Mistake 13.10.2023 16:40

Ep. 133 - When to Start a New Policy 29.09.2023 12:57
Many have asked, and this seems to stump people: When do I start my next IBC policy? You want to start when you have excess money or are not using the policy you already have. You should know your budget well enough to know where money is going. I have outlined a couple ways to figure this out. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

Ep. 130 - Second to Die/Last to Die Policies 08.09.2023 13:06
