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.

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.
