Because here's the thing: your legacy is too important to put off till later. If you're not intentional, you'll leave your family with chaos and confusion. Legacy doesn't happen by accident.

You found the deal. You found the lender. You even closed with hard money. Now what? That's the question too many investors forget to ask—until it's too late. In today's market, with traditional financing tightening up and banks saying “no” more often, smart investors know that real money is made after the flip. When you've got a reliable exit strategy. But here's the problem: too many investors get stuck in the deal because they never thought through how they were going to get out.  They scramble for financing after the fact, only to find the terms are terrible, if they can get approved at all.  That's when the clock starts ticking, interest racks up, and the whole investment starts bleeding cash.  So what's the play when the banks won't play ball? Enter Aaron Chapman, a seasoned lender who's made it his mission to get the unbankable deals bankable.  For over 20 years, Aaron has helped investors navigate the toughest markets. Now, he's teamed up with Private Money Club to help investors set themselves up for long-term wealth, not just short-term flips. In this episode, Aaron shares exactly what you need to do to make your investment deals irresistible, not just to private lenders, but to banks, too.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode -The “Exit Strategy Mistake” That's Killing Deals Most investors think about finding the right property, not the right financing. What should really come first? -What Banks Aren't Telling You (But Aaron Will) Think the DSCR loan is your answer? It might be, but not the way most lenders do it. What do smart investors look for in today's lending climate? -Why You Shouldn't Pay Off That 30-Year Mortgage Early Could stretching out your mortgage be the best move you can make?   Guest Bio Aaron is the pre-eminent financing guy for property investors.

✨ When a powerhouse steps into the room, you feel it.We had the honor of welcoming Shayna Rattler Davis, the Media & Money Mentor, to CTR Media Network—and she did NOT hold back!

We've all been told the same lie: work hard at a corporate job, and eventually, it'll pay off. But here's the truth—you can do everything right and still end up with nothing. Why? Because the financial system was never built to make you wealthy. It was built to keep you stuck. The banks, the government, and Wall Street have systematically wiped out the middle class—and most people don't even realize how deep the trap goes. Until you learn how the game really works, financial freedom will always be out of reach. Most people cling to the comfort the system offers without seeing how it quietly robs them of their time, money, and freedom. Real wealth starts when you break free from the system and start thinking for yourself. Otherwise, you'll spend your life making other people rich while you continue to struggle. That was Jason Sipple's story. He spent years building million-dollar businesses for other people, until he woke up, broke the cycle, and took control. Today, Jason helps others do the same by teaching how money really works. So why aren't more people using Infinite Banking? And how can you take back control of your financial future? In this episode, guest host Stephen Nagy is joined by Money Mentor and entrepreneur Jason Sipple, who shares his journey to financial freedom—and how you can change yours.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Break free from the big lie  If you think hard work will eventually pay off, you might be in for a rude awakening. How do you learn to work smarter? -Create your money philosophy  Most of what we believe about money comes from other people (and it's often not good). How do we create better beliefs for ourselves?  -Income with no equity  Like many people, Jason was once trapped in the financial system, working hard to make others wealthy. What moment helped him finally break free?   Guest Bio Stephen Nagy is a real estate and financial professional, business and investing consultant, speaker and trainer, and partner at The Money School. Stephen Nagy left his career as a Personal Financial Advisor in 2007 to pursue his dream of being an entrepreneur and Real Estate Investor. Many years later, he has never looked back, becoming a lifelong student of business and investing, implementing strategies learned, gaining valuable personal experience, and following his passion of working with and sharing with others. Stephen has spoken on hundreds of stages across the United States and worked with thousands of students, helping them realize and achieve their financial goals. Over those travels, and through attending several Masterminds each year, Stephen has built an extensive network of other like-minded individuals, creating a community that we call the “Campfire”. Stephen is dedicated to helping his students & clients learn financial education, how to regain control of their money, and how to achieve their dreams by solving their money problems. Stephen now shares his experience, education, and strategies through weekly webinar trainings, Live events, and working with clients one-on-one.

With a deep commitment to simplifying complex financial concepts and a mission to help you build a brighter future, Jason is here to guide you on your financial journey. Jason's journey into the world of financial empowerment began with his own experiences and challenges. A few years ago, he was a high achiever, leading a $25 million recruitment division and earning a substantial income. However, despite his professional success, he felt the weight of financial uncertainty and the struggle to provide more time and resources for his family. It was a turning point, fueled by personal growth and a commitment to mastering financial principles, that led Jason to embark on a mission to empower others. He recognized the need for a better way to secure his family's future and set out to learn, simplify, and teach the financial philosophies that would become the cornerstone of his mission.

Most people do what they're told when it comes to money—get a job, stash cash in a 401(k), and hope there's enough to retire someday. But what do they get? Debt. Stress. Zero control over their time and money. Meanwhile, banks are making a fortune off their hard work. Savings get eaten up by taxes, inflation, and market crashes. Retirement accounts come with rules, restrictions, and penalties. And after years of grinding, most people still feel stuck, just trying to stay afloat. What if there was a way out? The Infinite Banking Concept flips the script. It's not just about making money—it's about keeping control. It's a system that lets you take charge of your cash, grow wealth on your terms, and stop relying on banks that profit off you. With Infinite Banking, you decide how and when to use your money, without waiting until retirement or jumping through hoops.  How will Infinite Banking transform your life? In this episode, special guest host and Money School partner Stephen Nagy talks to trainer and entrepreneur Brian Fouts. Brian talks about his journey, how he found Infinite Banking, and how it changed the trajectory of his life.    Guest Bio Stephen Nagy is a real estate and financial professional, business and investing consultant, speaker and trainer, and partner at The Money School.

Yet after almost 15 years in the rat race, he lost more than $500,000 to corrupt financial planners and institutions. He was fed up with the rat race and the broken traditional path that did not provide financial security for his family. After leaving his corporate job and successfully investing in numerous assets including real estate, private lending, and online businesses, as well as growing a financial education business to the Inc.5000 list, Brian discovered the Infinite Banking Concept almost 10 years ago. After using this strategy in his own life, Brian made it his mission to help others gain back control of their money and financial life with this strategy. After impacting over 60,000 clients and individuals through his various companies and ventures, Brian continues to help others discover how real wealth and freedom can be attained through the Infinite Banking Concept.

The stock market's ups and downs, the uncertainty of the economy, and inflation have many investors on edge, searching for something stable. But for those who know how to play it right, real estate has always stood out as a reliable option. So, what's the trick to making it work, especially when times are tough? Here's the thing: there's never really a bad time to invest in real estate—just bad strategies. A good deal is always a good deal, no matter what's happening around you. Take Joel Miller, for example. He started investing in 1978, a time when double-digit mortgage rates and sky-high inflation were enough to make most people think twice. But Joel's experience proves that real estate can thrive in any market, as long as you know what you're doing. Real estate is the most forgiving investment vehicle there is. Unlike stocks or indexes, it puts more control in your hands, and there's always a way to make your money back (if you picked a good deal).  And that's huge when you're trying to navigate uncertain times. So, is now the right time to invest? According to Joel, it's always the right time if you find the right deal. The market may shift, but if you hold onto a property long enough, there's usually a way to make it work. In this episode, I sit down with Joel Miller, a real estate veteran with over four decades of experience. Joel talks about his new book, Build Wealth In Real Estate And Enjoy The Journey, the wisdom he's gained in his investing career and how you can spot good opportunities, no matter the market conditions.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Knowledge vs. wisdom  If you want to have a long investing career, knowing all the best strategies isn't enough. What are some of the basic accounting mistakes investors make that tank their businesses?    -Don't wish for better rates, wish for better deals Even in the worst markets, there's never a bad time to invest in real estate, but there are bad strategies. What rule should govern whether or not we do a deal?   -The problem with low interest rates  Many people wish for the super low interest rates we had a few years ago, but here's the thing: they weren't normal or good for the economy. Why are today's interest rates better? -Real estate: the most forgiving investing vehicle In real estate investing, you can make a mistake and still find a way to make your money back. How does that differ from other investments?   Guest Bio Joel Miller is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, mentor and author of Build Wealth In Real Estate And Enjoy The Journey. After obtaining a BA in accounting, Joel has been investing in rental properties since 1978 and flipping houses since 1991. He has served in numerous leadership roles in his professional and personal circles, and he teaches real estate investing at both the beginner and advanced levels. He is also a hard money lender to other investors as well as a trusted mentor, author, podcast guest, and benefactor to his community.

Every entrepreneur, high-powered professional, and goal-driven person has hit a wall they just can't seem to break through. Whether it's stuck revenue, burnout, imposter syndrome, or self-sabotage, it feels like the problem is external. But here's the truth: most of those barriers are internal. And the person holding you back? That could be the 7-year-old version of you. Entrepreneurs especially carry programming that dictates every choice we make, rooted in childhood moments when we told ourselves stories to survive. Now, when we hit a ceiling in business, it's usually because that old programming no longer works. The fix? Go back to that 7-year-old you, rewire those patterns, and unlock new levels of success. So why do so many entrepreneurs end up stressed, burned out, and stuck? How does it impact our health, our families, and our growth? In this episode, I'm joined by Annie Yatch, coach and CEO of NorthStar Leadership. She'll break down how to shatter your business barriers by rewiring those old childhood patterns, and how brain technology can help you become Limitless.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -How to calm a stress-hijacked nervous system  Entrepreneurs are highly competitive people who are constantly striving to achieve (often to our detriment). How do we rewire our brains so that this instinct doesn't do more harm than good? -How to become Limitless  The movie Limitless might seem like pure fiction, but it's actually based in reality. What brain tech helps entrepreneurs get to their next level of achievement in a healthier way? -Calm is the key to business growth As entrepreneurs, we're always frantically seeking solutions to problems in our businesses. Could calming down actually be the key to finding those solutions? Guest Bio Annie Yatch is a coach and the CEO of NorthStar Leadership. She specializes in helping entrepreneurs break through trauma-driven behavioral patterns. She has built three 7-figure businesses and has consulted with numerous CEOs. Annie's approach focuses on recognizing and resolving trauma to unlock higher levels of freedom, revenue, and success for individuals and teams. Her work emphasizes personal empowerment, improved decision-making, and leadership growth, leading to sustainable business and personal transformation.

How many mistakes did you have to make before you found success? How much time, money, and energy did trial and error cost you? Now, imagine watching someone else go down the same painful road—knowing you have the wisdom to help them avoid those missteps. Yet, too often, people keep their hard-earned wisdom to themselves. Maybe you think others need to learn the "hard way," just like you did. But does struggle for struggle's sake really make sense? What if you could give them the wisdom shortcut—the insight, experience, and lessons that could save them years of frustration? By sharing your wisdom, you're not just giving advice—you're redefining what's possible for others. You're showing them a path they didn't even know existed. You're turning obstacles into stepping stones, helping them reach their goals faster, smarter, and with fewer setbacks. In this special 300th episode, I share the wisdom shortcut—lessons learned from my failures and mistakes, both in business and as a pro snowboarder. I reflect on my journey and how I've helped others avoid the same pitfalls by passing on the knowledge I've gained along the way.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Failure can fortify Failure is a natural part of growth, strengthening wisdom and resilience. How can past failures shape better decisions in the future? -Resourcefulness over resources Success depends more on resourcefulness than available resources. How can thinking creatively help overcome financial limitations? -Ego and emotions in business Stay objective in business—avoid assumptions, emotions, and ego-driven decisions. How can you ensure logic guides your decisions rather than emotions?   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

The volatility of stocks, the unpredictability of real estate, and the rising cost of living are leaving many investors searching for something stable. Gold, historically a safe haven, has hit new all-time highs—but what's driving this surge, and what challenges lie ahead for those looking to get involved? The truth is, the future of investing can feel like walking a tightrope. While everything around us fluctuates, gold stands as a rare asset with the potential to offer liquidity and value when other investments falter.  But here's the kicker: the gold market isn't foolproof. It comes with its own set of hurdles—price volatility, geopolitical risks, and accessibility issues—that could trip up even the most seasoned investor.  So, how do we navigate these challenges while still capitalizing on the rise of gold? What can we do today to prepare our investments for a future where gold becomes the ultimate safe haven? What are the key factors driving gold's latest surge in value? Seasoned advisor at McAlvany Precious Metals, Michael Arries, joins me for this episode to talk about the drivers behind gold's rise and how to mitigate investment risks when it comes to precious metals. We also discuss how to take advantage of gold's reliability. Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Portfolios and precious metals Diversifying a portfolio with precious metals can provide stability and hedge against inflation. What percentage of a portfolio should be allocated to precious metals for optimal balance? -Using a self-directed IRA to purchase gold A self-directed IRA allows investors to purchase gold, though many are unaware of this option. What steps are involved in using a self-directed IRA to invest in gold? -Silver vs. gold Silver is more volatile than gold and has the potential to outperform it in percentage gains, but gold is generally more stable and a preferred long-term hedge. Given silver's higher volatility, is it a better investment than gold?   Guest Bio Michael Arries is an experienced advisor in the field of precious metals, having traded gold and silver for almost 25 years. A native of Colorado, Michael Arries graduated Magna Cum Laude from Fort Lewis College with a bachelor's degree in Accounting and Computer Science. He has studied economics and politics as a hobby for two decades, which is how he found his way into the precious metals space. In 2010, he embarked on his professional career with McAlvany Precious Metals, a family-owned business with a 50-year legacy in the industry, where he currently manages 1,500 clients. Renowned for their unwavering integrity, time-tested strategy, and personalized service, McAlvany represents the pinnacle of excellence among precious metals firms.

Too often, giving is tied to personal gain—whether it's a tax deduction, public praise, or a sense of obligation. But real generosity isn't about what you get in return. It's about giving with pure intentions, fueled by love and passion, not by what you stand to benefit. Imagine what would happen if every act of kindness came from a place of true selflessness. How much more impact would your giving have? How much more fulfillment would you feel? The ultimate purpose in life is to give—not for accolades, not for financial incentives, but because it's the right thing to do. When you give with the right heart, the rewards come naturally: deeper connections, a stronger community, and a life filled with purpose. In this episode urologist and pilot Dr. Brian Rambarran joins me to talk about the act of giving, its importance and the great impact it can have. We also talk about his rescue foundation and the difference he's making.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Impact of actions Actions can inspire others and create a ripple effect, especially with the reach of social media. How can a single positive action influence a larger audience in today's digital world? -More than meets the eye Success in a profession doesn't always mean financial stability—many doctors and other professionals struggle with savings and retirement. Why do some high-earning professionals still face financial difficulties despite their income? -Establishing a perfect balance Setting boundaries between work and personal life is essential, as work can be never-ending. Why do so many people struggle with balance? Guest Bio Dr. Brian Rambarran is a Buffalo-based urologist and licensed pilot renowned for his dedication to rescuing animals from high-euthanasia shelters. Over the past 12 years, he has utilized his Cirrus SR22 aircraft to airlift over 500 dogs from shelters in New York and North Carolina to foster and adoption homes, often partnering with organizations like Noah's Advocates for Animals and Nickel City Canine Rescue.  Beyond his medical and rescue work, Dr. Rambarran founded Rambarran Rescues, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving shelter dogs through air transport. The organization collaborates with rescue groups to provide vulnerable animals with a second chance at life.  Dr. Rambarran's life-saving efforts have garnered national attention, including features on ABC News and Good Morning America. He plans to continue flying to save animals and bring joy to families welcoming new pets.  Visit https://rambarranrescues.org/ to make a donation Follow Dr Brian on Instagram @brambarran      About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

Losing a job or facing an unexpected life shift can feel like the biggest curse—no income, no direction, and no clear path forward. But what if this so-called curse was actually the best thing that ever happened to you? Have you ever considered that hitting rock bottom might be the push you need to rise higher than ever before? The truth is, when everything you thought was certain is taken away, you're forced to look beyond your comfort zone. You start seeing opportunities where before, you only saw routine. The question is—will you embrace the change or stay stuck in fear? What if the loss of something familiar could lead you to something even greater? In this episode, StoreIt founder Wayde Elliott joins me to share his journey from smooth sailing to sudden hardships—and how he turned it all around by striking gold in real estate self-storage. We also talk about the importance of being a life-long learner, being your own bank and why it's so important to grow and give intentionally.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Navigating the learning curve Transitioning careers comes with a learning curve, and mistakes are essential for growth. How do we ensure that these mistakes propel us forward and not hold us back? -Lean on those with experience Learning from experienced people accelerates growth and decision-making. How can mentorship help you avoid common pitfalls and reach your goals faster? -The 5 Finger Gratitude technique The 5 Finger Gratitude technique uses each finger to remind us of things to be grateful for, fostering a positive mindset. How can taking a moment to reflect on five things you're grateful for impact your mindset? Guest Bio Dr. Wayde Elliott founded StorelT, who began working in self-storage development in 2009, after practicing dentistry for over two decades. His first project was in St. Helens, OR, and involved working directly with the highway department, railroad, and Oregon State's land division. From this project, Elliott learned a great deal about self-storage, including all of the ins and outs of developing and maintaining storage units. Once he saw the ROI of his initial project, Elliott knew he created something that filled a need, and he wants to help others do the same! With over $68 million worth of self-storage units developed and sold, rest assured that Elliott knows what he is talking about.

You have big dreams. You know where you want to be. But somehow, the gap between where you are now and where you want to go feels massive. Progress seems slow—sometimes painfully so. Life throws obstacles in your way, and before you know it, doubt creeps in. Naysayers whisper that you'll never make it. Maybe you've even thought about quitting. The truth is, most people give up not because they're incapable but because they don't have a clear, strategic approach. They expect a straight path, but success is full of twists, turns, and setbacks. The key? Taking the right first step and staying committed even when things don't go as planned. So, how do you cut the difference down? What if you could shorten the time between where you are now and the life you dream of? In this episode, I talk about the important steps to take when it comes to erasing the distance between where you are and where your goals and dreams are. I also comment on the importance of focus and eliminating distractions.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -The power of a great mentor. A mentor provides guidance, experience, and support to accelerate growth and success. How can having the right mentor help close the gap between you and your dreams? -The universal secret Belief in your dreams is the first step to achieving them. How does belief influence your ability to succeed? -Why daily visualization is key Daily visualization reinforces your goals, keeping you focused and motivated. How can making visualization a daily habit improve your progress?   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

Generational wealth is something many people want. As parents, we fight to build a legacy that future generations can benefit from. We want to take care of our family long after we're gone.  The problem is, the traditional banking system doesn't support generational wealth. Banks want to take people's money and multiply it for themselves, not for their customers.  What if you could create your own family banking system that does all the things banks do but it's all working in your favor?  Infinite Banking makes this possible.  Instead of having your children borrow money from banks, what if they could borrow money directly from the family business. This doesn't just provide for their current financial needs, but helps them build wealth in the long run. How do you build a family bank without turning your kids into entitled brats?  How did Hannah Kesler buy a million dollar penthouse using the family bank? In this episode, 2nd generation Infinite Banking coach, speaker and entrepreneur, Hannah Kesler shares how their family leverages the method, and why a family bank beats even the best traditional banks.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Teaching beats selling  Most financial advisors are always trying to drive people towards the sale. Is it better to take the approach of educating and empowering people? -What many families get wrong We've all heard stories of kids who deplete the family's wealth by spending irresponsibly. How do you build a banking system with guardrails against this?  -The power of a family business backed by Infinite Banking  How did Hannah buy a million dollar penthouse using the family banking system?  Guest Bio Hannah Kesler “The Single Millionaire Chick” is a 2nd generation Infinite Banking Concept expert, speaker and author. Hannah and her father travel all around the country to teach; how to recycle, recapture, and keep total control of your hard-earned dollars.

In the world of real estate investing, there are so many entry points, vehicles and paths we can chase down. But trying to chase down too many paths can take you out of business. Is it smarter to focus on one thing instead?  It's no coincidence that most investors struggle the most when they have their hands in too many pies. We would make a lot more money if we freed up our cash and mental bandwidth and applied it to one proven path.  That's what speaker, 2x UltraMarathoner, Real Estate Developer and the CEO of Barefoot Land Co, Brady McDonald did. Instead of spreading himself too thin, he concentrated his efforts in the self-storage development space. His secret? Choosing to do hard things on purpose.  As an ultra-endurance runner, he overcame addiction, conquered the pressures of real estate, and scaled businesses across borders.  Brady talks about how real estate challenges mirror ultra-endurance events and how the mindset of overcoming massive obstacles translates into real-life success.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Do hard things on purpose  Brady McDonald challenges himself to do difficult things, how does this lead to success in his business? -How to build a valuable business in real estate Solving a problem very few people want to solve is one of the fastest paths to wealth. How is Brady McDonald doing this in the self-storage space? -Focus on what you know and understand Most real estate investors fail to achieve their goals because they can't focus on one thing. How do we choose what to double down on?      Guest Bio Brady McDonald is a keynote speaker, 2x 100 Mile UltraMarathoner, Real Estate Developer and the CEO of Barefoot Land Co.

Are you tired of handing over control of your hard-earned money to traditional banks? You've worked hard, only to find your dollars barely working for you. Every paycheck you deposit, every investment you make—where does that money go? It ends up fueling someone else's bank. The banking system is built to make the banks richer by lending out your money at higher interest rates while paying you a fraction in return. But what if you could flip the script and take back control? That's where the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) comes in. This game-changing strategy puts you in the driver's seat of your financial future. Imagine a world where you become your own bank—able to grow your wealth while leveraging your money to create more opportunities. Today, I'm going to break this concept down in a way anyone can understand and share all the advantages you can gain from it.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Control your own capital  Most people park their paychecks in banks someone else controls. The bank then leverages that money to make more money. How can you get all the benefits the banks get for yourself?  -The beauty of Infinite Banking  People often have to choose between going after opportunities and saving their money. How does Infinite Banking give you the best of both worlds?  -How to transform your financial life forever  Instead of taking a bank loan when you need to invest in a car, a home, or even the stock market, why is it better to borrow money from your own bank?   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

We've all heard the buzz about blockchain, but how much do we really understand its potential to transform our everyday lives? Right now, we live in a world dominated by centralized systems—banks control our finances, corporations hold our data, and middlemen dictate transactions. But what if there were a better way? Centralized systems have dominated for decades but are riddled with significant flaws, including single points of failure that can lead to catastrophic system-wide failures, a lack of transparency that undermines trust and accountability, and inefficiencies that hinder optimal performance and adaptability. Blockchain isn't just a buzzword—it's the key to solving some of the biggest inefficiencies in finance, healthcare, supply chains, and beyond. Blockchain flips the script by introducing a decentralized model. Instead of placing trust in a single entity, it uses a distributed ledger where every transaction is verified and recorded by multiple participants. In this episode, five-time TEDx speaker, co-founder of SydTek DAO and a professor at Penn State University, Justin Goldston joins me to talk about decentralization and its impact. We also talk about bringing education and finance to people in a new and different way.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -The truth about Universal Basic Income Universal Basic Income provides a guaranteed minimum income to all individuals, aiming to reduce inequality and poverty. Could UBI become a necessity in a future shaped by automation and economic shifts? -How to drive success Gamification motivates engagement and drives success by turning tasks into rewarding experiences. How does gamification enhance motivation and create opportunities for profit? -What we can learn from kids   Kids often grasp gamification better than adults due to their familiarity with game mechanics and immersive digital experiences. How can adults bridge the gap in understanding gamification to engage more effectively? Guest Bio Justin Goldston is the co-founder of SydTek DAO and a Professor at Penn State University. He serves on the Graduate Advisory Boards at Georgetown University and USC and is a recipient of the 2022 Educational Leadership Award from the Education 2.0 Conference in Dubai.

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you'll never break free from your current financial situation? Do you catch yourself thinking, “This is just how my life is meant to be”? If so, you're not alone. Many people are born into circumstances that shape their beliefs about money, success, and their own potential. But what if those beliefs are holding you back? The truth is, your mindset around money could be the very thing keeping you stuck. Thinking you're destined to fail because of where you started in life is a broken mindset. And yet, so many people live their entire lives believing they are trapped, unable to break the cycle. The problem isn't where you come from—it's how you think about money. If you don't understand your views on money or address the deep-rooted psychology behind them, you'll continue to repeat the same patterns.

How can we stay motivated when facing obstacles on our path to financial success?

Many homeowners are stuck in the traditional mortgage cycle, paying interest for decades and barely making a dent in their principal. It's a frustrating system that feels impossible to escape. Traditional mortgages are designed to keep you in debt longer, with most of your early payments going toward interest, not principal. Add in the burden of juggling other high-interest debts like credit cards or personal loans, and financial freedom can seem like a distant dream. Isn't it time to stop working harder for the banks and start making your money work smarter for you? Enter velocity banking—a revolutionary approach that's transforming the way people manage their money. At the heart of this strategy is the First Lien HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit), a financial tool that enables you to leverage your home equity for accelerated debt payoff and increased cash flow. But how does it actually work? Can we build a system around it that is foolproof? In this clip, First Lien HELOC Specialist Anthony Rushing joins me to talk about how velocity banking and a First Lien HELOC can revolutionize your finances. We also talk about what banks don't want you to know about traditional mortgages.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  First lien HELOC vs. home equity line of credit. A first lien HELOC replaces your primary mortgage, while a regular HELOC is a secondary loan added to your existing mortgage. What are the other differences between the two? Specialty means extreme knowledge Specialization leads to deep, focused expertise in any area be it finance or real estate. How does this help us to understand the deeper process of things? What you don't know about traditional mortgages Traditional mortgages often come with hidden costs and terms that can significantly increase your long-term financial burden. How can understanding hidden mortgage terms help you save money? Guest Bio Anthony Rushing is an experienced Loan Originator specializing in the advocacy, education, and implementation of the First Lien HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) product and strategy. With expertise in accelerated principal balance payoff, self-banking, and residential and investment property financing, Anthony equips clients with innovative tools to achieve financial freedom.

We've all been taught to put our money in the bank, trusting it will grow safely. But here's the reality: while the bank gives you a little interest, it takes full control of your money. Imagine being in control of your own financial future, where you're not only saving and investing, but also using your money to generate passive wealth—without relying on the banks. This is where the Infinite Banking Concept comes in. It's a revolutionary strategy that lets you take back control of your money, allowing you to grow your wealth in a way that banks don't want you to know about. The key? Give to get. By focusing on giving first—whether through affiliate partnerships or reinvesting into your own banking functions—you can tap into a system that allows you to benefit from your money instead of giving it up to others. In this episode, I talk about why it's crucial to have the mindset of giving not getting, why it's sometimes best to do what's right for others and not yourself and how to think like the bank.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Facing challenges when being tested True impact comes from prioritizing your community over personal gain, even when facing challenges. How can choosing community over self-interest lead to long-term success? Specially designed whole life and traditional banking Specially designed whole life insurance can act as a personal banking system, offering liquidity and growth while preserving wealth. Which of the two provides more value? Make your money work for you Many are taught how to make money but not how to make it work for them. How can we shift from just earning money to making it work for our future?   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

Debt is more than just numbers on a statement—it's a heavy burden that crushes dreams, erodes credit scores, and casts a shadow over your financial future. It's not just about the unpaid bills or the relentless interest rates.  For many, debt becomes an emotional weight, leading to sleepless nights, strained relationships, and a sense of hopelessness. In extreme cases, it can even lead to thoughts of suicide, leaving families devastated and financial legacies erased. Have you ever felt trapped by the cycle of mounting debt and minimum payments? Are you anxious about the financial legacy—or lack thereof—that you'll leave for your family? What if you could blow away that debt and start building wealth instead of constantly sinking deeper? What if there was a solution that could not only help you pay off your debt but also allow you to take control of your financial future for good? Infinite Banking is a powerful financial strategy that allows you to build wealth by creating your own bank. It works by using whole life insurance policies to leverage your money, freeing you from the shackles of traditional debt repayment and high-interest rates. But this solution requires sacrifice. In this episode, I talk about the 10 steps to blast your debt off the face of the earth. I also talk about how to use the Infinite Banking Concept to build wealth.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Mental health and debt Financial debt can lead to severe mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, and even suicide. Why are people 3 times more like to have suicidal thoughts when in debt? -Take 2 steps back for infinite steps forward. Short-term sacrifices can help eliminate debt, paving the way for limitless future opportunities. How does taking 2 steps back lead to infinite steps forward? -The importance of being around like-minded people. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people fosters motivation and accountability in tackling debt. How can connecting with a supportive, goal-oriented group help you achieve financial freedom?

Bills pile up, your car breaks down just when you thought you were catching up, and that raise you were counting on? It never comes. You watch others build wealth and wonder, how do they do it? What do they know that I don't? Every month, you're working hard just to pay someone else: lenders, credit card companies, landlords. Your money is gone before you even have a chance to think about saving. It feels like you'll never get ahead. Here's the truth: the path to wealth isn't about how much you make—it's about how you use what you already have. But what if what if every bill you paid was building your wealth, not draining it? Is there a way to build wealth on a small budget, without relying on the traditional "get rich" schemes? In this episode, I talk about how you can tap into your own money to build wealth, no matter your budget and how to leverage your own debt and expenses to create a wealth-building system that works for you.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -What's keeping you in the rat race Luxuries can trap us in the cycle of debt when they shift from desires to perceived necessities. What else is keeping us in debt? -Specially designed whole life vs traditional whole life Specially designed whole life policies are tailored for enhanced cash value and flexibility. How does a specially designed whole life policy offer greater financial flexibility than a standard whole life policy? -Change where your money goes first Redirecting where your money flows can create lasting financial growth through the Infinite Banking Concept.

If you've ever dealt with rental properties, you know the drill: late-night calls for emergency repairs, chasing down rent payments, and endless maintenance headaches. It's exhausting and often feels like the returns don't justify the stress. What if you could reap the benefits of real estate without the hassle? Enter land flipping—a smarter, simpler way to grow your wealth. Unlike rental properties, land doesn't require constant upkeep or management. No tenants to screen, no leaky toilets to fix, and definitely no termites. It's a streamlined investment opportunity that can generate consistent cash flow without the chaos. But how does land flipping really stack up? What makes flipping land easier than other real estate investments? Jack Bosch, co-founder of the Land Profit Generator and host of the The Jack Bosch Show joins me to talk about how he got into land flipping, some of the benefits of it and why its something to seriously consider.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  3 reasons to market to neighbors Neighbors are often the best land buyers because they're familiar with the area. How can targeting neighbors first maximize interest and increase the chances of a quick sale? Land flipping vs. real estate Land flipping focuses on quick resale for profit, while traditional real estate often involves long-term investment or development. How do strategies for success differ between land flipping and traditional real estate investing? Integrity first Protecting your reputation and maintaining integrity in real estate builds trust that lasts a lifetime. How can prioritizing integrity strengthen long-term relationships with clients and investors? Guest Bio Jack Bosch is a real estate investor in the Land and Multi-Family space with $100M in real estate under management, and an educator who has brought over 1,000 of his clients to millionaire status.  As a respected industry leader, speaker, educator, he and his wife Michelle, lead companies in multiple areas of commercial real estate and education, and have built a real estate investment portfolio that includes land, financing/ notes, tax-delinquent real estate, SFR rentals, commercial, multi-family investments.  In addition Jack is the co-founder of the largest land investing education company in the USA.  In 2008 after seeing the devastation in the housing market Jack and Michelle set out on a mission to transform lives by sharing with others the land investment techniques and strategies that have made them a success. As a result, this simple little-known Land Profit Generator real estate method has provided tens of thousands of people with the opportunity to get into the real estate business without the hassles of traditional real estate investing.

For a really long time, we've been told to trust traditional financial instruments — stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and 401(k)s managed by others. But the truth is, these aren't the best ways to build long-term wealth. Many people are investing in things they don't fully understand, allowing big banks and financial institutions to profit at their expense. Traditional investment routes don't have your best interests at heart, especially when we factor in the substantial fees and interest payments that eat away at potential returns. Instead of building wealth, these conventional paths can often leave you with less than you started. But we don't have to play by those rules. What if you could be your own bank? How can you recapture the money you pay out in interest, instead of giving it to a bank or lender? In this episode, I discuss how to build wealth using your 401k or Infinite Banking Policy to become your own bank, allowing you to pay off debt, recapture interest, and invest by taking loans, ultimately keeping wealth within your own system. I also introduce former NFL player Arthur Marshall, who shares insights on his football career, real estate investing, and opportunities with the IPG Fixed Income Fund.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The 5% Only 5 out of 100 people achieve financial stability by retirement, despite widespread opportunities. What factors prevent most people from reaching financial security in a world full of opportunities? Front window focus Focus on the future and your goals, not the past, to drive progress and success. How do we make sure we're looking through the front window, instead of being focused on the rearview mirror when it comes to achieving your goals? Get 99% of the job done Consistently focusing on your goals and putting in that extra 5% brings you closer to success. How do we keep the focus and the faith when it comes achieving the goals we have set for ourselves? Guest Bio Arthur James Marshall Jr. is a former American football wide receiver in the NCAA and the National Football League. Marshall played for the Denver Broncos for two years and the New York Giants for three years. He played college football for the University of Georgia and is a member of the University of Georgia Football Hall of Fame. Following his collegiate gameplay, Marshall was signed by the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent from 1992 to 1993. Marshall was then signed by the New York Giants from 1994 to 1996. Arthur James Marshall graduated from the University of Georgia in 1991 with a degree in Business Administration and a major in Real Estate. He began his career in the construction and development industry in 1999. Marshall's companies have built multi-family duplexes, townhomes, apartments, 1000 square-foot patio homes, and over 10,000 square-foot mansions in his home state of Georgia. He has also built many homes in South Carolina and Tennessee.

If you're like most people, you've probably noticed how little traditional banking actually benefits you in the long run. Appearances aside, banks don't operate with your best interests at heart. They make choices to maximize their own growth—often at your expense. While banks encourage you to save and play it safe, they take your money and invest it to generate massive returns for themselves. Why would they tell you to do the opposite of what they do? Have you ever asked yourself why banks push us into strategies that benefit them but not us? What if there were a way to reclaim control and finally make money work in your favor? This is where the Infinite Banking Concept comes in. Instead of being caught in the cycle of dependence on banks that don't serve you, Infinite Banking enables you to become your own bank, using a strategy that allows you to grow your wealth while keeping full control. In this clip, investor and host of The Mr. Burr Show Podcast joins me to talk about how Infinite Banking can completely shift your financial future and what it means to be your own bank and build wealth on your own terms.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Work on yourself to become more valuable Investing in personal growth expands our knowledge and increases our value. Why is personal development the ultimate business advantage?  -Misconceptions about inflation Inflation isn't just about rising prices; it's also influenced by the decreasing purchasing power of money. What else are people mistaken about when it comes to inflation and what it truly means? -What banks don't want you to know Banks benefit from Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) by gaining tax-advantaged income and offsetting employee benefits costs, though it's a lesser-known strategy. Why is this so?  Guest Bio Devin Burr began his career in mortgage refinancing in 2005 and later worked at Quicken Loans before leaving his corporate job in October 2019 to pursue real estate investing full-time. By March 2020, he had completed seven deals, all through strategic networking. When the pandemic hit, Devin discovered the concept of Infinite Banking on a podcast and was inspired by its potential to fund real estate deals. Intrigued, he dove deeper into Infinite Banking, and by December 2020, he began sharing his insights on TikTok, quickly building a following. Devin's journey took a dramatic turn from 2016, when he faced bankruptcy with only $300 to his name. By mastering Infinite Banking and combining it with real estate investment, he reached millionaire status by the end of 2020 and became a multimillionaire by 2021. Today, he dedicates himself to teaching others the transformative power of “becoming your own bank,” empowering people to reclaim control over their finances and build wealth Visit https://go.mrbrrrr.com/  Follow Devin on Instagram @mr_brrrr Subscribe to Devin's YouTube Channel @Mr_brrrr Follow Devin on TikTok @mr_brrrr   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

Most people think the more they offer, the more money they'll make. But here's the reality: some of the most successful brands are built by going deep, not wide. Instead of trying to serve everyone, they pick a lane, stay in it, and completely own that space. Zeroing in on one thing is often the key to scaling your business faster. When you narrow your focus, you don't just streamline your efforts—you create a reputation for excellence, a brand that people remember and seek out. So, ask yourself: Are you spreading yourself too thin trying to be everything for everyone and missing out on being seen as the expert? Could saying "no" to certain clients actually lead to higher profits and a stronger reputation? In this episode, I sit down with personal injury attorney William Mattar, who's done exactly that. Known for his “Hurt in a Car? Call William Mattar” branding, he shares how focusing on one specialty helped him achieve household-name status. We talk about the strategies he used to build a memorable brand that doesn't rely on constant client-chasing but instead brings clients to him, ready to trust his expertise.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Why going all-in on one niche works  Focusing on a single niche helps build a stronger reputation and attracts the right clients who value your expertise. Could narrowing your focus be the key to finally scaling your business? -The art of saying “no” for greater success  Turning down certain clients may seem counterintuitive, but it can lead to a more profitable and respected business. What if saying “no” could actually create better opportunities? -Building a brand that clients seek out  Instead of constantly chasing new clients, creating a memorable and trusted brand can keep clients coming to you. How do you make your brand so recognizable that people come to you first?   Guest Bio William Mattar is an attorney and founder of a successful law firm known across the state for its expertise in auto injury cases. From his early days running a general practice, William realized that niching down to one focus was the key to outpacing the competition. Today, his firm's branding is unforgettable, with the iconic line, “Hurt in a Car? Call William Mattar.” He combines top-notch legal knowledge with savvy marketing and a compassionate approach, helping clients recover while keeping his firm at the forefront of the personal injury field.

Not every dollar is created equal. The shift from low to high value income is literally the KEY to freedom.This is how you can go from making $100 per hour to making 36K in a week.Tune in for:The difference between high and low value incomeExamples of how you can make this shift to 3X your income or sell out your schedule while working fewer hoursThe SIMPLE alternative to overworking that will 10X your results (and why most people don't do it)Why the story that you're too busy is always a low value income lie 

When it comes to money, we're often taught to play it safe. Hold on to what we have, avoid taking too many risks, and trust that our money will grow where we're advised to put it.  What if that advice isn't really in your best interest? Here's the issue: simply holding on to your money without a plan for strategic growth can leave you vulnerable—especially during times of tragedy. Imagine believing you're financially secure, only to discover you're not prepared for life's unexpected challenges. While we can't stop life's hardships, wouldn't it be empowering to know your finances are secure, no matter what happens? Being your own bank offers that control, turning even difficult situations into moments of opportunity and resilience. How can we ensure our family's future is protected? Can positivity emerge from tragedy? And how does becoming your own bank help create this financial safety net? In this episode, James Miles, owner of a Residential Assisted Living and Memory Care home in Carmel, Indiana, joins me to discuss how becoming your own bank can offer support in tough times. He shares his personal experiences with tragedy and how financial preparedness helped him navigate it.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Going back to the fundamentals Many people skip over the basic but important fundamentals of investments. How can fundamentals help us understand what we're doing and the risk of doing it all? -The age-old money mindset Outdated mindsets can negatively influence important money decisions and kill new opportunities. How can you break free from traditional money beliefs to make more informed and flexible financial decisions? -The bare minimum won't cut it Settling for minimal insurance coverage can leave you vulnerable when you truly need it, so it's essential to invest in adequate protection. How can investing in better insurance coverage save you from future financial risks?   Guest Bio James Miles, based in Carmel, IN, is the Owner and Operator of Willow Haven Senior Homes. With experience from Indiana University School of Medicine and Charles Schwab, James now dedicates his career to providing compassionate residential assisted living and memory care. His "feels like family" approach ensures that seniors needing care have a comforting home, while their families can rest assured knowing their loved ones are well cared for. Growing up in a family that cared for his mentally handicapped uncle, James understands firsthand the challenges of caregiving. This personal experience drives his mission to offer respite for families, freeing them from guilt and stress, and giving them peace of mind.

Infinite Banking is one of the most misunderstood finance concepts on earth. Even the biggest so-called financial experts get it wrong, and rob people of incredible wealth-building opportunities.  Case in point: Dave Ramsey. He often promotes term insurance, which is very different to Infinite Banking and this narrative overshadows the true value of whole life insurance.  Many people don't realize how these systems work and the long-term benefits they offer.  Why do some people seem to effortlessly build wealth while you're stuck in a cycle of endless premiums with term insurance? What if the narrative you've been told is holding you back from achieving true financial independence? In this episode, I provide insights to help you break free from the cycle of misinformation surrounding insurance. I clarify the true value of whole life versus term insurance and shed light on the often-misunderstood Infinite Banking Concept—a crucial point that many overlook. Not everyone fits in the same little square box. -Chris Naugle   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Paid-up additions Paid-up additions are the key element to designing whole life for maximum cash value. How do paid-up additions actually work?  -BOLI vs. whole life insurance. How does BOLI's investment-focused structure differ from the personal benefits of whole life insurance for individuals? -How whole life and Infinite Banking work together Whole life insurance is the foundation of the Infinite Banking Concept. How does the cash value in a Whole Life policy create opportunities for personal banking through the Infinite Banking Concept?   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

Even though the Infinite Banking Concept has been tried, tested, and proven to be successful, there are still naysayers out there. These doubts can hold people back from unlocking their financial potential. But why are some still skeptical, despite overwhelming evidence? The root of the issue lies in a lack of understanding and going back to the fundamentals. Infinite Banking isn't just a theory—it's a mathematically proven system that works when applied correctly. The real problem isn't the concept itself; it's the misconceptions people have about it. Are we going to continue to let skepticism stop you from exploring a proven financial strategy? How do we embrace the mathematics of the Infinite Banking Concept?  In this episode, I go back to the fundamentals of the Infinite Banking Concept and use mathematics to prove that it actually works.  We put so much emphasis on the things that mean absolutely nothing and so little emphasis on the things that can change our lives. -Chris Naugle   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -The possibilities of our ideas Ideas need to always have substance. What is possible when we come up with ideas that we put into action? Do some of the best ideas really come to us when we're not even thinking about it? -The fastest way to get rich What is the fastest way to get rich? Is it an investment? Or is it through our own debts and expenses? How can our debits play a role in the journey to getting rich? -Why cost isn't really the issue Many of us hesitate to pursue things due to the perceived expense, but often it's not the price itself—it's whether we see enough value to justify the investment. Is cost truly the issue, or just a reflection of the value we expect?   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

Entrepreneurs have one superpower: they see opportunities where others see obstacles. They learn from the people around them and seize moments that can change their lives. Many people dream of building wealth and success, but without an entrepreneurial mindset, it can feel like you're always a step behind. Real estate - one of the most lucrative paths to financial freedom - can seem intimidating if you're not thinking like an entrepreneur.

How can we use this to not only build businesses and wealth but also relationships?  In this episode, co-founder of Sunrise Capital Investors, Kevin Bupp joins me to talk about how he went from paperboy to multi-millionaire all because of an entrepreneurial mindset, what his journey looked like and how he took every opportunity that came his way.

Most people get caught up in a traditional system that promises a steady paycheck but never leads to financial freedom. They chase the illusion of being "rich" without understanding the difference between that and real, lasting wealth.   Many young people fall into this trap, only to realize years later that their money isn't working for them. They don't see that true wealth is built on a mindset shift—a willingness to pursue something bigger than just the income game.   What is holding people back from making the decision to make their money work for them? What if you could take control of your financial destiny before you're locked into a system that's not designed to make you wealthy?   IBC practitioner and real estate investor, Carson Herlean joins me to talk about why young people need to learn about true wealth before it's too late, how to grab every opportunity while we can and his journey to becoming his own bank.   Being young, our brain is not going down a traditional path like everyone else. -Carson Herlean   Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -Going against the grain Overcoming doubt and negativity when going against the grain requires self-belief, persistence. How can you maintain confidence and push forward while pursuing unconventional paths?   -Saving isn't sufficient Saving only 5-10% of income is insufficient in today's climate of rising inflation and economic uncertainty, as it doesn't provide enough cushion for future financial stability. What else can we do to secure a financially stable future?   -Trading in time for a dollar Time is more valuable than money because once it's spent, it can never be regained. How do we prioritize our time over financial gain in our daily life?   Guest Bio   Carson started his journey into financial education at just 16 years old when his father gave him a firsthand look at the real costs of living. This eye-opening experience ignited a passion in Carson for understanding money management and achieving financial freedom.   By 19, Carson had connected with Chris Naugle, a mentor in the infinite banking space. Carson quickly absorbed the principles of using life insurance as a powerful financial tool and began working alongside Chris to teach families how to manage and protect their wealth. Despite being young, Carson's dedication and ability to learn quickly earned him recognition in the insurance industry, even receiving top-level awards for his sales and service.   Carson's success in teaching IBC led him to work with over 2,000 families across the country, guiding them on how to use life insurance in their family banking system. He's passionate about educating others, particularly young entrepreneurs, on the importance of financial independence and the strategies to achieve it. Through his social media brand and podcast, "Generational Gains," Carson shares his knowledge on money management, helping others navigate their financial journeys just as he has. Now based in Southern California with his wife, Anna, Carson continues to teach, inspire, and expand his expertise in the world of finance.   Follow Carson on Instagram @carson.herlean Find Carson on LinkedIn @Carson Herlean Follow Carson on Facebook @Carson Herlean   About Your Host   From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

Achieving your FI number in just four years? If you want to do it too, you must try something different. This couple found a niche within a niche, allowing them to hit the coveted “1% rule” in real estate, skyrocketing their cash flow and passive income and allowing them to make more than almost any other landlord in their area. So, how did they do it, and what was the investment that got them there? David and Morgan Stanhope weren't real estate investors five years ago. They didn't come from investor families and had zero real estate investing experience. One day, at his job as a New York State Police Investigator, David met a mentor who would change how he thought about money, financial freedom, and passive income. This was perfect because David and Morgan were already in a great place to invest—Upstate New York. But David chose NOT to invest in his home market, and for good reason. They went south to a state known for higher home prices and crushingly high insurance costs. There, they found acreative rental property investing strategy, allowing them to make much more cash flow than regular rentals. Four years later, they've surpassed their $10,000/month FI goal. Now, they're on track to hit an even bigger achievement: $70,000 per MONTH. Today, we're talking to them about exactly how they're getting there with investment properties you've probably never heard (or thought) about. In This Episode We Cover How to hit real estate's “1% rule” with creative, high-cash flow rentals Borrowing from your 401(k) to fund your first real estate deal Making real estate cash flow EVEN with eight percent mortgage rates (yes, it's possible) Why David WON'T quit his job, even though he has already hit his FI number Finding contractors and vendors when out-of-state real estate investing  Using other people's money to invest in real estate (and why you may want experience before you do) And So Much More!
