Controlling the Banking Function in Your Life to Change Your Finacial Future! You might be saving 10% of your income… but quietly sending 34.5% of every disposable dollar to banks in interest.

Mary Jo had migraines for 35 years. She tried everything: tricyclics, beta blockers, anti-seizure meds, steroids, antidepressants, birth control pills, Botox, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, physical therapy. Nothing worked. Over the past year and a half, her migraines got so bad that she was waking up in the middle of the night, unable to function. She went back to the first medication she tried 20 years ago, Imitrex injections, because it was the only thing that would take the edge off. She was getting Toradol injections at her doctor's office. Missing work. Canceling on friends. She could only plan one social activity per week, and even then, she often couldn't go. She was 47 years old and felt like she'd missed out on 30 years of life. In this episode, Mary Jo shares what happened when she joined my 12-week Healing Migraines Naturally program. Within 11 weeks: She went from 3-5 migraines per week to a mild headache every 4-5 days She stopped using her Cefaly device entirely She hasn't touched Tums in 11 weeks (she used to eat them like candy) Her fatigue lifted, her family noticed the difference Her triggers (smoke, perfume, barometric pressure, wind, bright light) stopped causing migraines She lost weight consistently every week She drove 9 hours through a snowstorm without anxiety or a migraine She said it felt like she took 10 years off her migraine symptoms. This is what happens when you stop treating symptoms and start addressing root causes. If you're ready to stop suffering and start healing, let's talk.

Why do so many people say, "Whole life insurance never works"? Let's unpack that. In this episode, Mary Jo takes on online critics who claim infinite banking doesn't work and reveals why most people making these comments haven't even done their homework.
Feel “broke” even though you've got money in savings and retirement? You might be trapped by compartmentalized thinking, paying 25–30% on credit cards while your “retirement money” sits idle. In this episode, we show you how to see your finances as one pool of money, become your own banker, and pay yourself back, without making money more complicated.
When Dave Ramsey told a 20-year-old rancher he made a “huge mistake” buying $100,000 in cattle, we had some thoughts. Spoiler: Dave doesn't understand agriculture, leverage, or infinite banking.
During her first three years, Mary Jo Thayer was primarily cared for by her teenage sister. They were so close that Mary Jo says, “She took me into herself.” Although it wasn't her sister's fault, Mary Jo felt abandoned when her sister moved across the country. Mary Jo carried this wound with her into adulthood. Well into her marriage and raising her own children, Mary Jo realized she needed to heal the little girl inside her. Listen to this week's “mini retreat in a podcast” and learn how God guided Mary Jo through a healing pilgrimage of the heart, culminating in a Eucharistic experience. Discover how you, too, can open your heart for God to heal the girl in you. Learn more about Mary Jo Thayer, an award-winning author, at maryjothayer.com.

Author and journalist, Mark Gray joins us to talk about his newly released book titled "The Las Vegas Massacre Connections: Finding Strength Through Tragedy After America's Deadliest Mass Shooting."

After losing her husband, Mary Jo sought out survivors of other tragedies to heal. Via adventure, friendship, personal growth, and the human spirit, this trauma-bonded group endures, and the patchwork of people is all connected through a single thread: Mary Jo von Tillow.

What if you could use the same dollar twice, to buy your dream car today and still have it grow for your retirement tomorrow? In this episode, we uncover the 7 Points to Consider from Nelson Nash's legendary book Becoming Your Own Banker and why understanding where your money lives could change your financial future forever.
In this week's episode, Tracy sits down with Winnie and Lacy, of Ranch Your Way and advocates of the Infinite Banking Concept, to discuss how ranchers and farmers can take control of their finances — and their future — by becoming their own banker. The Infinite Banking Strategy uses properly structured whole life insurance policies to create your own personal banking system. Instead of relying on traditional banks, you can finance equipment, land, or livestock from within your own operation — keeping more money in your family's hands. Winnie and Lacy share how they discovered this concept, the real-life financial challenges that led them here, and how they've adapted Mary Jo's Farming Without the Bank for Canadian farmers and ranchers. You'll also learn practical steps to get started, how to begin small, and why this strategy can be a game-changer for succession planning and multigenerational wealth. In This Episode, We Discuss: 1. What the Infinite Banking Concept is — explained simply. 2. Why it's especially powerful for farmers and ranchers. 3. How a whole life policy can be used to finance land, equipment, or livestock. 4. The financial struggles that inspired Winnie and Lacy to bring this strategy to Canada. 5. Gaps Canadian farmers face with banks, taxes, and financing. 6. How families can start small without overhauling everything. 7. The role of Infinite Banking in succession planning and teaching the next generation about money. 8. The biggest transformations they've seen among ranchers who take control of their finances. You don't need to overhaul your entire operation to start — you just need to take the first step toward becoming your own banker. Infinite Banking isn't just about money; it's about freedom, legacy, and control for your family and your farm.

Banks are already tightening up on ag lending, and that's your red alarm. This creates instability as banks pull out of lending due to perceived high risk. Understanding sound farm management and agricultural finance is now more important than ever to mitigate risk management. Let's navigate the ag lending landscape together. Mary Jo breaks down when (and if) you should use the minimum premium option on policies with Paid-Up Additions (PUA) and why, in most cases, paying the full premium and then borrowing against cash value is the smarter play, especially when banks are pulling back, collateral requirements are rising, and commodity prices are shaky. If you've been tempted to “just pay the minimum” on your whole life premium, this episode explains why that move can quietly cost you years of growth. She shares a personal $2,000 short-pay mistake that still drags on her policy 16 years later, and revisits Nelson Nash's strategy during 23% interest rates: premium in, borrow, pay notes down, and migrate debt to the policy over time. Key Takeaways: ∘Full premium today = more dividends + faster compounding tomorrow ∘Minimum premium “flexibility” is for worst-case cashflow crunches, not a habit ∘Policy loans can make tractor/land/operating payments while keeping your policy compounding ∘Banks pulling back = expect harder renewals + more collateral requirements ∘Consider how (or whether) to list cash value on bank forms—educate your banker ∘Nelson Nash moved high-interest bank debt to his policy over ~13 years, start where you are
