#36 - Bait and Switch?

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 3, 2025 18:05


Sometimes there can be what feels like a bait and switch when going from looking at banking examples and material to looking at a life insurance policy illustration. However, this perception (if it happens) is incorrect, because the banking examples show the movement of money, and the policy illustration only shows stationary money. These are, in fact, opposites!

#28 Why Infinite Banking?

In this podcast I discuss recent inspired conversations I have had that bring to light some of the simple, basic principles of banking. These simple principles are the key to properly implementing privatized banking. I know, more firmly than at any previous time, that private banking is. It simply is. The practice of implementing private banking leads us into a place where we experience the most fundamental and important truths of financial freedom that exist in the world. The way to step into this is to daily remind ourselves of the basic principles of banking, and to actively commit ourselves to those principles.
