In this bonus episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Simone & Mark alongside their Relationship Manager, Richie, to explore their journey from financial overwhelm to clarity, confidence, and long-term wealth building. Before joining Infinity, Simone & Mark were a blended family with six children, multiple bank accounts, separate financial habits, and strategy. Mark loved spending without a budget, and although Simone already had gold and silver investments, they still didn't like they were moving toward true financial security or the generational wealth they dreamed of creating. After discovering Infinity through referrals and joining the program, everything shifted. What once felt confusing became simple. They learned the power of budgeting, started with an FFF of $550 per week, and over time worked it down to $200 per week, without losing fun or lifestyle. Simone & Mark's journey proves that when you combine education, structure, and support,financial freedom becomes not just possible — but inevitable.
In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Norman & Diana, to share a powerful transformation grounded in clarity, structure, and the confidence that comes from finally having a clear financial strategy. Before joining Infinity, Norman & Diana were doing their best, but felt stuck and scattered. They were juggling: $350k home loan, car loan of $10k, credit card debt of $3,327, two investment properties, but no guidance on whether to keep or sell, $130k in super, A belief that you should “always hold onto investments,” even when they weren't serving them and multiple accounts and no cohesive plan. They knew they wanted to get ahead — but weren't sure how. After discovering Infinity, everything changed. Their Relationship Manager guided them step-by-step through the strategy, helping them understand why each decision mattered. Since joining Infinity in September 2023, their transformation has been extraordinary. They paid their home loan down to $0, sold two older investment properties that no longer aligned with their goals, and purchased three new investment properties. On top of that, they now follow a structured FFF of $750 per week, giving them clarity, stability, and control over their finances.
In this episode of Changing Lives Financially, we sit down with Ashley & Theresa alongside their Relationship Manager, Amanda, to unpack their journey from financial stress and uncertainty to clarity, confidence, and rapid progress with Infinity. Before joining Infinity, Ashley & Theresa were earning the most they ever had, yet felt stuck and constantly stressed about bills. With a $575k home loan, an existing investment property, no savings, credit card debt, and no real budget, they felt like they were going nowhere despite working hard. After watching the free webinar and attending the Masterclass at the end of February 2025, they knew something had to change — and decided to take action. Since joining Infinity, their transformation has been powerful. They've eliminated credit card debt, sold their existing investment property, built a portfolio of three investment properties (including one in SMSF) valued at $2.43 million, reduced their FFF to $600 for a family of five, and built a strong SMSF cash position. Ashley also shares how the 60 Strong challenge became a personal turning point, both physically and mentally. Throughout the episode, Ashley & Theresa talk openly about what it's really like having a Relationship Manager, the importance of ongoing support and communication, and how the Infinity community, including charity involvement, has played a huge role in keeping them motivated and accountable.

In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, Emily sits down with Florian & Ryan to unpack their journey from financial confusion and scattered investments to complete clarity, structure, and rapid growth with Infinity. Before joining Infinity, they were juggling a $240k home loan, three investment properties jointly owned with family, a $10k credit card debt, and a combined super balance of $433k, all with no structured budget and no clear roadmap for the future. Their financial picture was complicated, messy, and overwhelming, leaving them unsure of how to take control. Everything changed the moment they joined Infinity in March 2024. With guidance from their Relationship Manager, Emily, they implemented a strategy that simplified every part of their financial life. They paid off their entire home loan, sold one underperforming investment and began the sale process on another, and then went on to purchase five new investment properties in just 15 months, including two through their SMSF and three using equity. They also established their SMSF investment structure, placing $100k into a 12% return fund, and refined their weekly FFF to a sustainable $600.Their story is full of insight and encouragement for anyone feeling stuck or intimidated by the idea of taking control of their finances. They finish with genuine, heartfelt advice for anyone considering joining Infinity: trust the process, stay consistent, and be open to change because the results can be life changing.
In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Tracy & Steve to explore one of the fastest turnarounds we've ever seen at Infinity, proof that when you commit, trust the process, and take action, financial change can happen almost instantly. Tracy & Steve first discovered Infinity through research and recommendations, looking for real guidance after years of feeling stuck. Before joining, they were juggling: A home loan of $85k (including caravan, car & renovation debt), $30k credit card limit, $33k owing on a previous investment property loan, no budget and constantly dipping into redraw and offset accounts. Despite working hard, they weren't moving forward and they knew something had to change. After joining Infinity in May 2025, everything shifted quickly. Guided through the process and later attending REM, they made confident decisions and took back full control of their finances. Their transformation has been remarkable: Paid their home loan down to $0 — in just 3 months, closed old accounts and cancelled all credit cards, sold their caravan and one car, purchased 4 investment properties (including 1 in SMSF), started sweeping monthly and building strong habits and set a sustainable FFF budget of $500/week. Tracy & Steve's story is proof that when you stop guessing and start following a proven strategy, financial freedom comes faster than you think.
In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Alix & Luke and their Relationship Manager, Nick, to unpack one of the most dramatic financial turnarounds yet, a story of commitment, clarity, and complete transformation. Alix & Luke first discovered Infinity after watching the free webinar, which quickly led them to the Masterclass. What they heard made sense and for the first time, they realised that the strategy they had been using (Barefoot Investor style, paying weekly into multiple accounts) wasn't actually moving them forward. Before Infinity, they were: Carrying 3 mortgages, paying principal + interest on all, owing $530k total, following a strategy that looked “safe” but wasn't building wealth, putting weekly money into separate kids' accounts but not growing their own, and managing finances across multiple accounts without clear direction. After joining Infinity in July 2024, everything changed — fast. Within 8 months, they transformed their entire financial position: Paid out all 3 mortgages, $0 balance by Feb 2025, purchased 4 investment properties (2 in SMSF + 2 more through equity), discovered $100k sitting across forgotten accounts, got married AND took their entire family on their first overseas holiday, established an FFF of $695 weekly, withdrew $560k equity and used it strategically, paid off $40k of their new loan in only 4 months.Alix & Luke's story shows that when you stop guessing and follow a proven strategy, financial freedom can happen much faster than you think.
In this episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, Kat sits down with Nick & Laura to unpack their incredible transformation, from feeling financially stretched with multiple debts, high monthly repayments, and no clear strategy, to paying off their entire home loan and building a thriving investment portfolio.After discovering Infinity and joining the Masterclass, everything shifted. They learned exactly what was holding them back and how to structure their finances properly something they had never experienced before. Working closely with their Relationship Manager, Kat, gave them confidence, direction, and a level of support they say completely changed the way they viewed money.Nick & Laura's story is proof that with the right strategy, structure, and support, financial clarity and freedom is absolutely achievable.
In episode 314 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Loti Diangana-Nambombe. Loti works as Charity Lead for the Make Life Kind Foundation (MILK). He also works as Relationship Manager for MILK's education programme, MILK Unbottled. MILK Unbottled partner with youth clubs, football clubs, community hubs, and local organisations across the UK to deliver powerful youth workshops and talks that tackle real-world challenges. They address critical issues such as knife crime, misogyny, social media, anti-racism, body confidence and rising mental health concerns. Loti started working for MILK six years ago when the Foundation's owner Emma Walsh came across posts he was writing on LinkedIn about his mental health journey. In this episode we first discuss Loti's mental health journey, which began when he was born in Angola and then moved to Belgium as a baby where he lived until he was 10 years old. He then moved to the UK in 1998, specifically London where he lived in a variety of places in London, before moving permanently to Manchester in 2000 where he lived for the next 25 years. During childhood, his father was an authoritative figure and beat Loti regularly. These experiences and the lack of love he felt for and from his father traumatised him and in his words, was the catalyst for his mental health struggles. When he was 15, he visited his GP to disclose his mental health difficulties and at 17 was prescribed antidepressants for the first time. Growing up, people often said he had a personality disorder but he always laughed them off as jokes. As he became an adult, he began to use alcohol as a coping mechanism, and it soon became an addiction. He had become a father by this point, and had separated from the mother of his child, with his addiction causing massive damage to the relationships around him. In 2019 the addiction and his mental health difficulties spiralled and resulted in a breakdown. On 11th January of that year, he went to the gym one day like normal, but then proceeded to go to a place where he could take his own life. Thankfully, Loti did not go through with that plan and he is here today to check in with me. In March 2020, he was formally diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and from there, he began his mental health recovery. In this episode we chart that mental health journey, from Angola to the UK, fatherhood, addiction, BPD and everything in-between. We then discuss the brilliant work he does with MILK, the work they do with young people and the impact they have, becoming a role-model for young men and how he adapted to that, given his childhood with his own father.

Before joining Infinity, Nathan & Leanne were comfortable but uncertain about their next steps. They had a $280K home loan, a $480K combined super balance, a $40K novated car lease, and no clear financial plan. Their budget was unstructured, and they weren't sure how to move forward or make their money work harder for them. After finding Infinity and joining the program, everything changed. With Infinity's guidance, they created a clear strategy, paid off their home and car loans completely, and built a portfolio of three investment properties (including one in their SMSF) worth over $4.18 million.

In this bonus episode of The Money Mentor Podcast, we sit down with Wade & Lainie alongside their Relationship Manager, Sam, to explore how guidance, trust, and teamwork can completely transform financial lives. Before joining Infinity, Wade & Lainie felt stuck. With multiple accounts, credit cards, and no clear financial direction, they were spending more than they should and facing a $528k mortgage with 22 years to go. Money arguments were common, and despite working hard, they weren't making progress. After discovering Infinity on social media, they watched the free webinar and then joined a masterclass that completely changed their mindset—especially for Lainie, who admits she had been skeptical at first. Since then, their journey has been remarkable: Paid off $80k of their mortgage already, on track to own their home in 3 years instead of 20, built a portfolio of 3 investment properties (with more on the horizon), dropped their weekly budget, while finally feeling in control of spending, stopped money arguments and found financial alignment as a couple and discovered the power of community and accountability working with Sam.

This season on Moneda Moves, we have been expanding how we talk about capital, because it's not just about money. It's also about power and access, across sectors. Today, we're talking about what it takes to gain access to one of the most traditional forms of capital: loans.According to the Latino Business Action Network, the odds of loan approval from national banks are 60% lower for Latino-owned businesses than for comparable white-owned businesses in 2024. And for Latina-owned businesses, the gap is even wider — with just 39% average approval rates from both national and local banks.That's why voices like Vanessa Sancha matter. She is an Assistant Vice President and Bilingual Business Access Advisor for the Chicago/Milwaukee region of U.S. Bank, providing support in both Spanish and English. In her role, Vanessa helps bridge critical gaps in information, connections, and capital, which otherwise can limit growth and opportunity for small business owners.A seasoned financial professional and community leader, Vanessa is driven by a mission to empower diverse business owners through access to capital and resources. Her financial services career spans over 16 years, including a notable tenure at PNC Bank, where she advanced through leadership roles in business banking and branch management.Vanessa also served as a Relationship Manager at local CDFI, Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), managing and underwriting a commercial portfolio. Her expertise lies in building strong client relationships and offering tailored guidance to help businesses thrive across diverse industries.Beyond her professional accomplishments, Vanessa is deeply committed to giving back. She serves on the board of the Wisconsin Veteran Business Alliance and the WWBIC loan committee. She has developed and led financial education programs for youth and adults through organizations like Journey House, WRTP, Milwaukee Christian Center and Running Rebels, inspiring participants to achieve their goals and contributing to more equitable economic outcomes in her community.She is committed to advancing opportunities for underserved communities and helping build a more inclusive economy where every entrepreneur can succeed. When she's not connecting with business leaders or volunteering, Vanessa enjoys spending time with her daughter, cheering her on at basketball and volleyball games.In this week's episode, we're talking about how banks can partner with local businesses and open the door to opportunities that have historically been closed to them. Financial capital, like loans, offers local businesses the chance to grow and create more financial stability for the community. With these programs, big banks are reaching out to entrepreneurs to offer guidance, help them navigate the financial challenges they're facing, and help them increase their chances of getting loans. Tune in to hear more about these programs and how local entrepreneurs can grow their businesses through financial capital. Follow Vanessa on Instagram @_v.s.anabel_ and on her LinkedIn.

The defense, however, argues that this is simply a matter of ‘seller’s remorse.’ It’s a case that raises bigger questions: what duty of care do financial professionals actually owe their clients? Where does personal responsibility begin and end? And how might the courts decide where to draw the line?
