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.

Find Stephen on Facebook.    Brian Fouts got his start in life following the traditional path… went to school, got a corporate job, saved money into a 401k, and got into debt because that's what everyone else around him was doing. 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 frustration of not seeing savings grow consistently can be a real struggle. Imagine the possibilities if our money could work harder for us, not just in the long run, but also with benefits we can tap into right now.   This isn't just about setting money aside—it's about making our money work smarter and more effectively, whether it's planning for the future or needing liquidity today.   Consider this: what if we could harness the magic of compound interest that builds wealth steadily over time, while still having the flexibility to access funds efficiently in the short term?   In this episode, I am joined by the Director of The Money School, Shawna Decker and Money Mentor Stephen Nagy, to talk about the benefits of uninterrupted compound interest and how to cash-build for the long run.   Infinite banking is not about the numbers and it's not about the math, it's about the concept.- Chris Naugle Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -Don't get hung up on the numbers Infinite banking isn't just about money. How do we avoid getting absorbed in the numbers?   -Debt or decisions How do we figure out what to put on credit and what we should pay for in cash?   -Think about the 95% Why are we taught to focus on the 5% interest rate that we have to pay back?   Guest Bio: Shawna Decker oversees all operations within The Money School, and has been on board since its creation. Shawna's north star is Balance. And balance is never static- it is made of constant adjustments and active listening. She gives a damn, and she gives a damn about your path to betterment. Shawna assists in ensuring the overall experience of products, workshops, and training are better and brighter, by regularly checking in on what's working, and helping adjust what isn't.

China and Japan have been competing for a position on the map of Asia for years. Relations between these powers developed in various ways - from mutual dislike to strategic warming of relations.

It is main point of contention is the brutal Japanese aggression against China during World War II. Despite many differences, can China and Japan maintain friendly ties? How does China imagine coexistence for the region? Why are security issues so important to Japan? How can these countries cooperate in the future? These questions are answered by prof.

From a new Asiatic superpower in China and a rogue state in North Korea, to domestic political change and an rapidly aging population, 2022 will be a pivotal year for Japan's national security. On this episode, Garrison is joined by Dr. Stephen Nagy, an expert on Japan to discuss these important topics. The two discuss a wide range of subjects, beginning with the political-security implications of the newly minted Kishida administration. They also discuss the historical roots and contemporary complications of Japan's pacifist constitution which drive Tokyo's emphasis on the use of holistic foreign policy soft power even as it maintains a pseudo-military “Self-Defense Force”. How Japan will balance defending against the militaristic assertiveness of China's new power projection strategies (including the issue of Taiwan, maritime security, etc) with the economic reality of the vital level of trade with Beijing is also discussed. The state of Tokyo-Washington relations in the Biden era both in a strategic and political sense; Japan's response to the North Korean nuclear threat, and the evolution of state immigration policy in the face of an aging population round out their discussion.

The journey to financial freedom begins when we learn the truth about money, see what the wealthy do with it, and most importantly, implement it in our own lives.   We’re currently living through some of the most economically volatile times in our nation’s history. Times of great uncertainty are also times of great opportunity. These are the times that turn people into millionaires and set them up for a future without financial stress. How we navigate this current economy can be the key to wealth, freedom, and legacy.   We created The Money School Essentials event to help you gain the knowledge that will change your financial reality. What can you expect from our line-up of coaches?   What are the 3 pillars of The Money School we teach our students? Should we take advantage of the stock market highs we’re seeing right now?   Today’s episode of Real Estate Money School is special because it’s our 100th episode. I’m joined by one of my business partners Stephen Nagy to discuss our upcoming event and the most important strategies for taking control of your money.   Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode What the stock market tells us about the near future The stock market is very high right now, but that doesn’t mean we should be investing in it. With speculation so high, this is when we should be most cautious. There are so many alarm bells and signs that a drop in the market is coming. The best thing we can do right now is to prepare for a downturn.   How to navigate the biggest challenges of real estate The two things stopping people from getting into real estate are the concept of property ownership and a perceived lack of funds. The truth is, you can get into real estate with little to no money, and you can make a substantial profit by just being the person who finds the deals.   Why our money is useless when it’s not in motion In order for our money to work for us and for us to get the benefits of compound interest, it has to be in motion. If our money sits still, we can’t apply it to any wealth-building strategies or use it to create freedom for ourselves. Becoming your own bank is the most powerful way to put your money into action.   Guest Bio-  Stephen Nagy is a real estate and financial professional, business and investing consultant, speaker and trainer, partner at The Money School, and professional Realtor at Waterfront Properties.  To sign up for The Money School Essentials 3-day virtual event on January 22nd - 24th 2021 and get a free t-shirt, visit https://www.moneyschooltraining.com/registration.

95 out of 100 people will not be able to retire the way they want, due to a lack of education of the most profitable ways to invest their retirement savings. Many have depended on 401Ks for retirement, not understanding that the average rate of return is between 5% and 8%. And that's not counting having to deal with the volatility of the stock market, which could wipe out a considerable chunk of your retirement.I think Forbes said it best: "A 401k only works as a retirement savings plan when it's efficient, which it too easily is not. Many come with huge (often hidden) fees and expense ratios attached. Imagine if for every $10,000 you invested in your 401k $4,000 was lost to fees.

Tháng 11/2019, Viện khảo sát thiết kế số 5 Đường sắt Trung Quốc hoàn thành khảo sát miễn phí cho Việt Nam về quy hoạch tuyến đường sắt khổ tiêu chuẩn Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng, kết nối với đường sắt Hà Khẩu (Trung Quốc). Dài khoảng 388 km, tuyến đường sắt đi theo hướng đông, qua 8 tỉnh, thành phố : Lào Cai, Yên Bái, Phú Thọ, Vĩnh Phúc, Hà Nội, Hưng Yên, Hải Dương, kết thúc tại cảng Lạch Huyện - Hải Phòng. Trang VnExpress (21/11/2019) cho biết theo lộ trình, tuyến đường sắt này được chuẩn bị đầu tư trong giai đoạn 2020-2025 và xây dựng sau năm 2025. Khi dự án Kết nối ASEAN trùng với Sáng kiến Con đường và Vành đai Đây chỉ là một nhánh trong dự án đường sắt cao tốc Bắc-Nam của Việt Nam, sau đó, kéo dài sang Phnom Penh (Cam Bốt), trong khuôn khổ dự án đường sắt xuyên Đông Nam Á. Ngay từ năm 1995, 10 nước thành viên khối ASEAN đã có ý định kết nối với nhau bằng hệ thống đường sắt, một ý tưởng đã có từ thời thuộc địa, khi Anh và Pháp tìm cách kết nối các thuộc địa ở Đông Dương. Đến năm 2013, trong Sáng kiến Vành đai và Con đường (BRI) của Trung Quốc có một hành lang phát triển liên quan trực tiếp đến khu vực Đông Nam Á. Trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt, giáo sư Eric Mottet, Viện Quan hệ Quốc tế, đại học Québec ở Montréal (Canada), giải thích phần nổi bật nhất trong hành lang này chính là việc xây dựng tuyến đường sắt « cao tốc » nối thành phố Côn Minh, tỉnh Vân Nam, Trung Quốc, đến Singapore, điểm cực nam trên phần đất liền ở Đông Nam Á. « Thực ra, có ba trục được lên kế hoạch. Tuyến thứ nhất đi qua Miến Điện, xuống miền nam Thái Lan, rồi qua Malaysia đến Singapore. Tuyến thứ hai đi qua Lào, Thái Lan, Malaysia và Singapore. Tuyến thứ ba đi qua Việt Nam. Tuyến đi qua Miến Điện không tiến triển lắm. Đúng là công việc nghiên cứu khảo sát về khả năng thực hiện đã được tiến hành nhưng hiện bị đình chỉ vì xảy ra xung đột giữa chính phủ trung ương Miến Điện với bang Shan. Một tuyến khác đang được xây dựng với tiến độ rất nhanh, đi qua miền bắc Lào và sẽ được khánh thành vào năm 2021. Sau này, tuyến đường trên sẽ được nối với tuyến được dự kiến xây ở Thái Lan, mới được khởi công và chưa chắc đã hoàn thiện được trước năm 2026-2027. Tuyến đường sắt thứ ba đi qua Việt Nam, ít được nhắc đến trong thời gian gần đây vì cho đến nay, Việt Nam vẫn không có ý định chấp nhận đầu tư ồ ạt của Trung Quốc trong lĩnh vực đường sắt. Nhưng tình hình có vẻ thay đổi trong khoảng vài chục ngày gần đây. Hà Nội đã chấp nhận để Trung Quốc tài trợ miễn phí cho việc nghiên cứu quy hoạch một tuyến đường sắt cao tốc sử dụng khổ đường sắt theo tiêu chuẩn 1,435 m được sử dụng ở Trung Quốc. Hiện chưa có tầu, nhưng điều này cho thấy thiện chí của chính quyền Hà Nội chấp nhận Trung Quốc tiến hành nghiên cứu quy hoạch ». Đây không phải là nghiên cứu đầu tiên về tính khả thi của tuyến đường sắt nối biên giới Trung Quốc với cảng Hải Phòng. Trước đó, đã có một nghiên cứu do Nhật Bản và Liên Hiệp Quốc tài trợ giữa năm 2000. Nhưng lần này thì xa hơn, theo giáo sư Eric Mottet, vì đó là nghiên cứu về một tuyến đường sắt « cao tốc », vừa có thể chở khách, vừa được sử dụng để vận chuyển hàng hóa từ Trung Quốc đến cảng Hải Phòng và ngược lại. Mục tiêu cuối cùng của Trung Quốc là trong 20 hoặc 30 năm tới, có thể đi thẳng từ Bắc Kinh đến thành phố Hồ Chí Minh mà không phải đổi tầu. « Dĩ nhiên, tiếp theo, Việt Nam phải xây ít nhất một tuyến đường tầu cao tốc nối Hà Nội với thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Dự án này được đưa ra năm 2018. Nhưng chi phí để xây dựng tuyến đường sắt này được thẩm định trong khoảng 60 tỉ đô la. Đây là khoản tiền quá lớn đối với nền kinh tế hiện tại của Việt Nam. Kể cả nếu Trung Quốc, Nhật Bản hay những đối tác kinh tế nào khác tài trợ cho tuyến đường này, thì cũng không thể có được tuyến Hà Nội-thành phố Hồ Chí Minh trong ngày một ngày hai ». Trung Quốc « hất chân » Nhật về đầu tư và công nghệ ở Đông Nam Á Tại thượng đỉnh ASEAN-Trung Quốc vào tháng 11/2019 ở Nonthaburi (Thái Lan), hai bên đã ra thông cáo chung công nhận cần phải cải thiện khả năng kết nối giữa Kế hoạch tổng thể về Kết nối ASEAN (MPAC) 2025 với Sáng kiến Vành đai và Con đường (BRI) của Trung Quốc. Dù chỉ có hơn 10 năm kinh nghiệm về công nghệ đường sắt cao tốc, Trung Quốc hiện là nước có mạng lưới tầu cao tốc lớn nhất thế giới với khoảng 29.000 km. Bắc Kinh muốn từng bước mở rộng mạng lưới này, ngoài đến Đông Nam Á, mục tiêu cuối cùng là vượt qua Trung Á, đến tận châu Âu. Tại Đông Nam Á, Lào là nước nhiệt tình nhất đón nhận đầu tư của Trung Quốc vào dự án đường cao tốc, theo trang Nikkei. Dự án được Quốc Hội Lào thông qua năm 2012 có trị giá 6 tỷ đô la và Trung Quốc đầu tư 70%. Trong phần đầu tư của Lào, chính quyền Viêng Chăn đã phải vay thêm 480 triệu đô là từ Ngân hàng Xuất nhập khẩu Trung Quốc với lãi suất 2,3%. Thái Lan hiện có năm dự án đường sắt, trong đó có ba dự án nối với các nước láng giềng (Lào, Malaysia, Cam Bốt). Trung Quốc trở thành đối tác chính của Công ty Đường sắt Nhà nước Thái Lan (SRT) trong hai dự án đầu tiên được khởi động : tuyến nối Bangkok với Nong Khai (cực đông bắc Thái Lan, 608 km, dự kiến hoàn thiện năm 2026-2027), để nối sang Lào ; tuyến nối ba sân bay quốc tế lớn Don Mueang và Suvarnabhumi ở Bangkok và U-Tapao ở tỉnh Rayong, dài 220 km được ký vào tháng 10/2019, và dự kiến sẽ đi vào hoạt động vào năm 2025. Việt Nam dè chừng đầu tư Trung Quốc Tại Việt Nam, đề xuất phương án đầu tư đường sắt cao tốc Bắc-Nam đạt tốc độ 350 km/giờ được đề cập trở lại cách đây 1-2 năm. Theo giáo sư Eric Mottet, đối với chính phủ Việt Nam, sẽ không có chuyện chấp nhận vay vốn từ Trung Quốc hoặc mua trang thiết bị Trung Quốc. « Hiện tại, ít nhất là chính phủ Việt Nam tuyên bố như thế, có nghĩa là không mua trang thiết bị của Trung Quốc, không để Trung Quốc xây tuyến đường sắt cao tốc này, mà hướng đến Nhật Bản. Nhưng vấn đề là ở chỗ Nhật Bản hiện không có đủ khả năng cho Việt Nam vay khoản tiền cần thiết để xây tuyến đường này, theo thẩm định là 60 tỉ đô la (tương đương khoảng 1/4 GDP toàn nền kinh tế). Đây là một khoản tiền rất lớn, nên còn lâu mới có thể xây tuyến đường này. Ngoài ra, còn có nhiều lý do khác. Trước hết, khối nợ của Việt Nam tương đương với 61-62% GDP đất nước. Từ năm 2017, có một đạo luật quy định nợ công của Việt Nam không được vượt quá 65% GDP. Nếu đầu tư ồ ạt vài chục tỉ đô la vào dự án đường sắt cao tốc Bắc-Nam, chắc chắn nợ công sẽ vượt quá mức cho phép. Đây là lý do tại sao dự án không tiến triển. Lý do thứ hai là còn có một luật khác, theo đó, trong các dự cơ sở hạ tầng, nhà nước Việt Nam phải đầu tư 70%. Vì thế, Việt Nam hiện chưa có đủ điều kiện kinh tế để xây tuyến tầu cao tốc mà không có trợ giúp của các đối tác nước ngoài ». « Đôi bên cùng có lợi » hay « há miệng mắc quai » ? Đã có rất nhiều bài phân tích những lợi ích mà Trung Quốc thu được khi đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng ở nước ngoài trong dự án Những Con đường Tơ lụa mới, sáng kiến giúp Trung Quốc không phụ thuộc vào vận tải đường biển, vốn rất dễ bị trừng phạt hoặc phong tỏa hải quân từ phương Tây. Trong khi đó, các nước « được » đầu tư thì lại mắc nợ. Ví dụ, Lào là một trong 8 quốc gia có nguy cơ mắc nợ Trung Quốc cao nhất ; Sri Lanka thì phải nhượng đất đến 99 năm để trừ nợ. Việt Nam tỏ ra thận trọng, như phát biểu của một cựu quan chức chính phủ, « bên cạnh phát triển kinh tế, cần phải nghĩ đến chủ quyền quốc gia của các nước thành viên ASEAN, đặc biệt là các nước láng giềng ». Phó giáo sư Stephen Nagy, đại học Christian, Tokyo, từng tỏ ra lo ngại ASEAN sẽ « dễ tính » hơn với Trung Quốc, bao gồm cả vấn đề Biển Đông. Về điểm này, giáo sư Eric Mottet nhận định : « Rõ ràng là Bộ Quy tắc Ứng xử đang được đàm phán, tính đến nay cũng đã vài năm, giữa 10 nước thành viên ASEAN và Trung Quốc, nhưng vẫn chưa có giải pháp, chưa đạt được đồng thuận dù thỏa thuận được thông báo là vào năm 2020, thậm chí là vào năm sau đó. Đúng là vào lúc mà một số nước chấp nhận đầu tư ồ ạt của Trung Quốc trên lãnh thổ thì có thể nói khả năng hành động về mặt chính trị và địa-chính trị sẽ khó chống lạilập trường của Trung Quốc về Biển Đông. Ngoài ra, còn phải chú ý đến một điểm khác, đó là tính đến hiện nay đầu tư của Trung Quốc vào Việt Nam là tương đối thấp. Vì thế, người ta nhận thấy từ hai năm nay, Trung Quốc đã tăng tốc đầu tư vào Việt Nam, lên đến hơn 5 tỉ đô la. Có thể thấy là ngay cả Việt Nam cũng bắt đầu có khả năng hành động khá hạn chế về mặt kinh tế đối với Trung Quốc. Và điều này rõ ràng hạn chế khả năng đòi hỏi chủ quyền, khả năng chống đối quan điểm của Trung Quốc về Biển Đông ».

In this episode of Pod Bless Canada, MLI Research Advisory Board Member Dr. Elliot Tepper was joined by Dr. Stephen R. Nagy, a leading expert on international relations in the Indo-Pacific region. Their discussion explores how Canada, as a middle power, can better engage with countries in this region to promote both our economic and security interests. Dr. Nagy provides an overview of Canada’s current relationships with significant countries in the Indo-Pacific. In so doing, he distinguishes between our ‘natural’ and ‘necessary’ partners, both with whom it will be critical to engage as the region continues to wield greater global economic, security, and geostrategic influence.
