Clayton Hepler Joins the Passive Cash Flow Podcast to discuss how he helps people use a whole life insurance policy as a tool to build retirement savings, wealth and to fund lucrative investments such as real estate. Life insurance is not just about securing your family's future in the event of death but also can be used similar to an IRA but without the negative tax consequences of pulling out money early. With specific whole life insurance policy's, one can structure the policy to grow in value over time so the value of the policy is greater than the money you put in. Not only do you get a death benefit, but this can also work as a retirement account because you can borrow against this policy tax free while the principal grows in value. In fact, it is free to borrow against this policy as the expected principal growth is greater than the interest on the loan so it is essentially interest free money. Listen to this episode to learn how wealthy people use this tax trick to grow their wealth tax free and protect their family long term.Clay Hepler is a fiancé, multifamily investor, serial entrepreneur, podcast host, and cashflow specialist.He scaled his family's chocolate company from 2 states to 42 in 18 months and set the foundation to have a partnership with Geoffrey Zakarian, the Iron Chef from Chopped the TV Show and owner of many successful restaurants across America.It was during that time that he first learned about the Capital Leverage Strategy when his centimillionaire mentor told him about how he used life insurance as a place to warehouse his family's capital.From that time on, Clay was obsessed with the mindset, methods and manners of the ultra wealthy.

He explains how a gap year in France and a Michelin-star experience sparked his passion for elevated dining and attention to detail.

We explore South African winemaking discussing its origins and its post-Apartheid transformation to become a leading new world region. During the discussion, we hear a lot about the regions of Stellenbosch and Swartland while tasting three of his wines from our collection: Renaissance Chenin Blanc, Granite Ridge Pinotage, and the soon-to-be-released Black Rock Red Blend.Our Burgundian-trained guest talks about his decision to move to South Africa in the 90s. Known for pioneering many social upliftment practices previously unthinkable in that nation and introducing wine growers in the cape to the revolution of organic practices beginning to take hold in Europe, Alex also shares a few entertaining vineyard trade secrets with our listeners. He walks us through the nature of the geology, climate, and other influences on winemaking in the cape and gives us a deep dive into predominant varietals in the region.

Meet Me At The ClubAre you a Wine Insiders club member? Have you already received an introductory box and are now exploring your Winter assortment? If so, we have a very special unboxing review of your wines to help you get the most out of every sip. In this episode, we chat for a few minutes about wine clubs in general and what inspires our curations. At 6:05 we will begin walking through each bottle to offer you flavor notes, regional insights, behind-the-bottle stories, and, of course, perfect pairings. To find out why each bottle was selected we went straight to the source to speak with Tyson Koster, a winemaker and now Director of Wine Strategy, who is the tastemaker behind each Wine Insiders box. Tyson is always on a mission to find amazing wineries and undiscovered gems. As winemaker at Hilliard Bruce Vineyards in California's Santa Rita Hills, Tyson helped create 95-point Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays that combine the elegance of France's famed Burgundies with the swagger of California's fruit-driven flavor profile.In this episode we review:White WinesGoldridge Reserve Pinot GrisFinca Los Olmos TorrontesRobert Sarrau Côtes du Rhône Blanc O.V.
