Policy loans are one of the most powerful tools in infinite banking, but they're not free money. In this episode, Hans and Brian dive deep into the strategic considerations around when to use policy loans, when to avoid them, and how to think through these decisions holistically.From philosophical approaches to practical examples, they explore the spectrum of policy loan usage in the infinite banking community, ranging from Nelson Nash's "cut out the snakes and dragons" philosophy to pure arbitrage-focused strategies. The hosts share real-world scenarios that illustrate the power of having control and optionality in your financial decisions.Through Brian's recent land purchase and various investment examples, they demonstrate why maintaining liquidity provides strategic advantages and how policy loans can be leveraged responsibly as part of a comprehensive wealth-building strategy.The Philosophy Spectrum of Policy Loans: The infinite banking community spans from Nelson Nash's "cut out the snakes and dragons" approach to pure arbitrage-focused strategies. Finding the middle ground means using policy loans strategically while maintaining core principles over the 17-20 year journey.You Finance Everything You Buy: Whether you pay cash or finance, you're always giving up opportunity cost. When you hand cash to a dealer, that money stops working for you and starts working for them. Understanding this helps frame policy loan decisions within your overall capital allocation.The Power of Having Options: Maintaining liquidity provides strategic advantages. Keeping cash reserves above emergency fund levels allows you to seize unexpected opportunities, while having multiple financing options creates optimal decision-making flexibility.When NOT to Use Policy Loans: Avoid using policy loans for daily expenses, laddering policies (using loans to fund new policies), and taking loans without a repayment plan. Policy loans require responsible banking practices despite their flexibility.Investment Arbitrage Considerations: A 10% minimum return threshold provides one framework for policy loan investments. Asset allocation models can guide decisions beyond simple interest rate arbitrage across real estate, private lending, and other investment categories.➡️ Chapters00:00 - The Power and Responsibility of Policy Loans01:00 - Current Economic Environment and Tax Policy05:00 - Policy Loan Decision Framework08:00 - The 17-20 Year Journey to Financial Independence12:00 - Car Dealership Financing vs Policy Loans16:00 - The Ability to Repay as a Position of Strength22:00 - Emergency vs Opportunity Funds29:00 - Invest to Live, Don't Live to Invest33:00 - Asset Allocation Over Pure Arbitrage39:00 - Personal Investment Thresholds and Strategies48:00 - What NOT to Use Policy Loans For52:00 - Future Windfalls and Repayment Planning54:00 -The Dangers of Policy LadderingGot Questions?

Send us a textSarah brings 35 years of clinical expertise to our conversation, revealing how relationship therapy has transformed from a one-dimensional approach to a comprehensive science-based system. As founder of Relate Center in Austin, Texas, she's pioneered an integrated method combining physical therapists, psychotherapists, and physicians to address both emotional and physical dimensions of relationships.The digital transformation of mental healthcare takes center stage as Sarah candidly discusses how telehealth has revolutionized therapy accessibility while introducing new challenges. She shares thoughtful strategies for maintaining therapeutic connection in virtual settings—a balancing act between convenience and depth that practitioners continue to navigate in our post-pandemic world. Her insights illuminate the profound ways technology has democratized access to mental health support while sometimes sacrificing the intimacy of in-person connection.What truly distinguishes this conversation is Sarah's perspective on psychology's radical evolution. She articulates how the field has shifted from viewing problems as purely psychological to understanding the critical role of trauma, physiology, and somatic experiences. Modern therapeutic approaches increasingly focus on nervous system regulation—helping clients shift from fight-or-flight responses to states where healing becomes possible. This represents a fundamental reimagining of what effective therapy looks like.Sarah doesn't shy away from addressing the ethical challenges facing mental health practitioners today, from navigating complicated regulatory environments to fighting for quThis is Encrypted Ambition—a podcast about the builders rewriting the rules.

This podcast brought together two remarkable friends—Peter Berry and Deb Bunt—for a conversation that was as inspiring as it was deeply honest. Hosted by Marianne Sciucco and Christy Byrne Yates, the discussion explored not only the personal journeys and books of Peter and Deb, but also the profound insights they've gained into living well with dementia. Peter's journey began with a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 50. As a successful business owner, he was shocked—and initially devastated—by the news. He shares openly about the dark period following his diagnosis, describing it as “a year of hell,” marked by depression and even suicide attempts. What's remarkable, though, is how Peter transformed that despair into a renewed sense of purpose. Inspired by both his own experience and his father's long journey with Alzheimer's, Peter resolved to become a source of hope and understanding for others facing similar challenges. Enter Deb Bunt, Peter's cycling buddy-turned-co-author and close friend. Their relationship is a beautiful demonstration of how support doesn't just flow one way. As Deb and Peter describe it, they each bring unique strengths to the friendship: Deb provides companionship and boundless camaraderie, while Peter offers technical know-how and navigational skills. Together, they reinforce the idea that living well with dementia is as much about mutual support and meaning as it is about medical care. This mutuality spills into their advocacy efforts—travelling throughout the UK, speaking at events, and writing books together. Their creative journey produced two books so far: Slow Puncture, a memoir of Peter's life post-diagnosis, and Walk With Me: Musings Through the Dementia Fog, a collection of Peter's raw and poetic reflections. Deb explained how Peter's poetic descriptions became the muse for her own long-harbored ambitions to write, and how collecting Peter's texts and turning them into a book gave both of them a sense of validation and purpose. These works don't just recount Peter's experiences; they offer a window into his emotional landscape—with metaphors that make the inexplicable aspects of dementia relatable. For Peter, cycling is like “a balloon that takes me high into the sky”—a momentary escape from the limitations of his diagnosis.

In Part 2 of her episode, Shannon opens up about the next chapter of her story. After meeting her husband, she eagerly took the lead in their relationship—from their first kiss to exploring intimacy together. Remaining a virgin until marriage was deeply important to her, so they waited until their wedding night to have intercourse.But the moment she had waited for her entire life turned out to be excruciatingly painful—and the pain didn't go away. For two years, Shannon silently endured, until she was finally diagnosed with vulvodynia, a chronic condition causing pain around the vulva. What was supposed to be a joyful part of marriage became a painful obligation. She was overwhelmed with guilt and shame, feeling as though she had failed as a wife.Eventually, she found an incredible pelvic floor specialist who helped relieve much of the physical pain—but the emotional and sexual disconnection lingered. Despite her efforts, she still didn't feel desire. Over the next 20 years, they struggled. A sex therapist left Shannon feeling blamed and broken. They even tried visiting sex clubs, hoping that new experiences might reignite her interest. Nothing worked, and Shannon sank into depression.Then she found Janna.For the first time, Shannon felt truly seen, heard, and understood. With Janna's support, her relationship has completely transformed. Now, Shannon looks forward to the next 20 years with her husband—hopeful, empowered, and finally at peace.Janna's Wanting It More Foundations self-paced course for women is always open for registration.

David Horton approached us to do an interview with him, and we did not know how to respond. We listened and, after hearing his story, it became clear that this was a story we wanted to share with you. David's wife, DeeDee Horton, died of brain cancer. She was an accomplished athlete, middle school teacher, and college basketball coach. In the final six years of her life, she poured herself into writing Layer Upon Layer, a novel exploring the challenges faced by ambitious women. Before she died, DeeDee asked David to finish the editing and share her book with the world. Through David, we learn about DeeDee and her life of empowerment, courage, and contribution. As this testimonial by Rita Frey says of the book: “Layer upon Layer is poignant, full of passion and chock full of amazing lessons for women and an overall feeling of hope.” We also learn from David what it means to lose your loved one.

The legendary Don Barnes, co-founder and frontman of 38 Special, takes us on a riveting journey through five decades of rock and roll stardom. With his signature raspy voice and warm storytelling style, Barnes reveals the fascinating origin of the band's name—a police standoff where an officer threatened to "shoot the lock off" their rehearsal space with his 38 Special revolver.Growing up in Jacksonville, Florida—what Barnes calls "the Liverpool of the South"—shaped the band's musical foundation as teenagers playing sailors' clubs alongside future members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers. This naval town connection forged their musical DNA and taught them the fundamentals of songwriting by covering popular hits.Barnes shares a surprising revelation about 38 Special's true influences. Despite being categorized as Southern rock, the band drew heavy inspiration from British Invasion artists like The Beatles and Jeff Beck. After their first three albums "went straight over the cliff," they discovered their winning formula: stripping songs down to what Barnes calls "muscle and melody"—powerful guitar work paired with strong melodies and relatable stories drawn from real-life experiences.Don also shares other passions with Lindsay and Bruce that include keeping sets of golf clubs on the tour bus. And speaking of that bus, it rolls into Dublin as 38 Special and Kansas headline another rockin' Independence Day celebration at Coffman Stadium!

This podcast brought together two remarkable friends—Peter Berry and Deb Bunt—for a conversation that was as inspiring as it was deeply honest. Hosted by Marianne Sciucco and Christy Byrne Yates, the discussion explored not only the personal journeys and books of Peter and Deb, but also the profound insights they've gained into living well with dementia. Peter's journey began with a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 50. As a successful business owner, he was shocked—and initially devastated—by the news. He shares openly about the dark period following his diagnosis, describing it as “a year of hell,” marked by depression and even suicide attempts. What's remarkable, though, is how Peter transformed that despair into a renewed sense of purpose. Inspired by both his own experience and his father's long journey with Alzheimer's, Peter resolved to become a source of hope and understanding for others facing similar challenges. Enter Deb Bunt, Peter's cycling buddy-turned-co-author and close friend. Their relationship is a beautiful demonstration of how support doesn't just flow one way. As Deb and Peter describe it, they each bring unique strengths to the friendship: Deb provides companionship and boundless camaraderie, while Peter offers technical know-how and navigational skills. Together, they reinforce the idea that living well with dementia is as much about mutual support and meaning as it is about medical care. This mutuality spills into their advocacy efforts—travelling throughout the UK, speaking at events, and writing books together. Their creative journey produced two books so far: Slow Puncture, a memoir of Peter's life post-diagnosis, and Walk With Me: Musings Through the Dementia Fog, a collection of Peter's raw and poetic reflections. Deb explained how Peter's poetic descriptions became the muse for her own long-harbored ambitions to write, and how collecting Peter's texts and turning them into a book gave both of them a sense of validation and purpose. These works don't just recount Peter's experiences; they offer a window into his emotional landscape—with metaphors that make the inexplicable aspects of dementia relatable. For Peter, cycling is like “a balloon that takes me high into the sky”—a momentary escape from the limitations of his diagnosis.

What happens when life takes you thousands of miles from home to a country you never planned to stay in? For Jolanda, what began as a four-year assignment in Ghana with her husband and young children in 1995 transformed into a 30-year journey of building a life, family, and thriving business in West Africa.Her story begins with culture shock – the crowded airport, the unfamiliar sounds of frogs in drainage gutters, and the simplicity of life in 1990s Accra. Yet within these challenges, she discovered the warmth of Ghanaian people and opportunities that wouldn't have been possible in her native Italy. As Jolanda navigated motherhood in a foreign country, she progressed from administrative roles at the British High Commission to leadership positions in Ghana's growing real estate sector.The turning point came unexpectedly in 2014 when a breast cancer diagnosis forced her to resign from her position. Instead of retreating, she used this challenging period to envision her future, founding Akka Kappa Limited while recovering. Her company now manages over 1,300 property listings and has earned international recognition for excellence.What sets Jolanda's approach apart is her unwavering commitment to customer experience. She shares candid insights about the challenges of maintaining high standards in a service business, the importance of continuous staff training, and how passion must be paired with discipline for success. Her observations about workforce development in Ghana are particularly valuable for anyone building teams in emerging markets.Beyond business wisdom, this conversation reveals profound truths about family, resilience, and creating opportunity. From raising multilingual children to navigating healthcare challenges abroad, Jolanda demonstrates how adversity can become a catalyst for growth. Her advice to follow your passion resonates whether you're considering an international move or simply facing a career crossroads.Subscribe to Konnected Minds Podcast for more stories of resilience and entrepreneurship from visionaries shaping business landscapes around the world.

Both emphasize how the profession continues offering rich opportunities for those seeking to combine technological innovation with meaningful human connection.

In this episode of Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf sits down with Jose Blanco, the General Manager of the Glenwood Gladiators, as part of the GM Series. Coming to you from the Charlotte Motor Speedway during a week of special events, the two dive into Jose's extensive 11-year leadership journey at Broad River Retail. Jose shares stories from his beginnings in liquidation furniture sales prior to joining The River and then through his progression through nearly every possible leadership role across many store locations—including Hickory, Arden, Asheville, Matthews, University, Columbia, Northeast Columbia, Fayetteville, Southern Pines, and now at the Raleigh Outlet (a/k/a the "Glenwood Gladiators"). With each move, he highlights his adaptability, focus on sales growth, and a deep commitment to leading by example. Jose credits much of Broad River's evolution to the adoption of consistent processes, like the C4 playbook, and emphasizes how these have shifted the Company from a store-by-store approach to a unified operational culture. Jose opens up about understanding the analytics of the business and those learnings that he gained during the preparation from the Orange Crush tours. Jose opens up about the importance of building trust, showing genuine care for other Memory Makers, and creating a family atmosphere in every store he leads. He discusses the rewarding aspects of being a GM, from celebrating high-performing Home Furnishings Consultants achieving the elite Home Furnishings Expert status, to fostering cultures where everyone feels supported and heard—regardless of age or background. Jose's story also touches on his personal challenges, including being legally blind, and expresses gratitude for the Company's support.     As the General Manager, Jose discusses how he constantly wants to be the lead learner and drops the mic when he says that 'Learning is an everlasting gobstopper.' Throughout the conversation, Charlie highlights Jose's resilience, service-driven leadership, and the perspective on growth at Broad River that is driven by its leaders like Jose: growing as far as their Memory Makers will take them. The episode concludes with advice for top sales professionals who may be contemplating a leap into leadership, underscoring the performance-driven, transparent, and deeply supportive environment that makes Broad River's GM role unique.

What happens when scientific advancement outpaces our ethical frameworks? As Christian Life Resources celebrates 42 years of ministry, this compelling discussion explores how a once primarily pro-life organization evolved to address the complex moral questions of our time and prepare for what's ahead.The conversation takes us from CLR's humble beginnings—marked by a watershed moment when U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop spoke at their 1984 convention—to today's expanded mission addressing everything from surrogate parenting to end-of-life care. National Director Bob Fleischmann candidly shares how the organization matured from focusing solely on fetal development arguments to helping Christians navigate ethical dilemmas through a biblical lens.Looking forward, three critical frontiers demand our attention: revolutionary procreation technologies including artificial wombs, CRISPR gene editing that blurs the line between healing and enhancement, and artificial intelligence that's reshaping human interaction. These advancements arrive amid deepening social fragmentation, where truth increasingly becomes whatever opinion garners the most likes.Yet amidst these challenges, CLR maintains unwavering hope grounded in Scripture. The organization is preparing for the future with exciting initiatives: succession planning for leadership transition, a comprehensive "Debunk" series addressing common misconceptions about life issues, an AI-enhanced website launching this fall, and expansion of their New Beginnings - A Home for Mothers and elder care ministries.Have questions about navigating today's complex ethical landscape from a Christian perspective?

This installment of eponymous food stories is entirely about fruits. We’ve got a berry, a pome, and a citrus, all with varying degrees of documentation.
