From the outside, doctors and dentists look like they’ve got it all: good money, respected careers, the kind of lifestyle most people want. But what almost no one talks about is how fragile that life really is. One accident, one injury, and the very hands that their entire career depends on can suddenly stop producing income. That was Dr. Jeff Anzalone’s reality after a skiing accident nearly ended his ability to practice dentistry. It forced him to realize: as much as medicine can be rewarding, it’s still trading time for money, and it can all disappear in an instant. The solution...

Most people who buy life insurance never read the fine print. They’re promised “stock market–like returns without the risk,” a retirement account that doubles as a tax-free loan machine, and peace of mind for their families. On paper? It looks like the perfect product. But what happens when the math doesn’t add up, the illustrations don’t match reality, and families find out, years later, that the policy they’ve been funding is set to collapse? That’s the dark underbelly of the Indexed Universal Life (IUL) industry. And it’s exactly what my guest, Jonathan, aka the IUL...

Most business owners only call the bank when they’re in trouble. Cash is tight, deals are falling apart, stress is mounting. By then? It’s too late. The banks shut the doors and wave at you from behind the glass. That’s the obvious mistake. The less obvious one? Not realizing the best time to secure financing is when you don’t need it. That’s when banks give you more, on better terms, and when private lenders are willing to play ball. That’s the theme of my conversation with George Otel, founder of U.S. Business Funding. He’s closed 400+ deals, from SBA loans to $50M...

Most real estate investors are running the same race: chasing the hottest markets, competing for the same deals, and trying to outbid one another. The problem? That crowded approach often blinds you to the opportunities hiding in plain sight. The truth is, success in investing isn’t about following the crowd or chasing trends; it’s about looking where others aren’t, leading with strategy, and building relationships that open doors no one else can see. That’s what sets Aleea Stanton apart. She didn’t start investing just to rack up properties. She began with a deeper purpose: to give...

You’ve experienced life at the highest level: private planes, exclusive circles, red carpet events, and the luxury that money can buy. But beyond the accolades and access, have you ever found yourself asking, 'Is this all there is?' There’s a silent struggle that often shadows success. Behind the velvet ropes and curated lifestyles, many high-profile individuals wrestle with an inner void—an ache that no amount of wealth, recognition, or adrenaline can truly silence. When the applause quiets and the entourage leaves, the stillness can feel suffocating. For some, that emptiness is numbed...

You’ve got something valuable sitting right under your nose: your home’s equity. But here’s the thing: it’s not exactly helping you pay the bills. Your house might be worth a lot more than before, but day-to-day expenses still pile up. Inflation’s squeezing your paycheck, groceries keep getting more expensive, and it feels like you’re stretched thinner every month. You’re “house rich,” sure, but cash? Not so much. And that’s exhausting. The reality is, owning a valuable home doesn’t mean your wallet feels any heavier. Lots of folks are stuck in this same spot right...

You built your business from scratch and poured your heart and soul into it. So it might feel strange, even disloyal, to think about stepping away or exiting. From the outside, everything’s working: sales are up, your team’s solid, and your brand is gaining traction. But under the surface? You’re tired, the vision that once felt clear now feels fuzzy, and growth has started to feel like a grind. This isn’t uncommon. Many founders hesitate to plan an exit because things still feel “fine.” But there’s a big difference between “fine” and truly free. Founders leave their...

Here’s the dirty secret in the term insurance industry: They win when you cancel. They win when your policy lapses. They win when you don’t understand what you really own. Think about that for a second. You’ve been sold on the idea that term insurance is the smart, affordable choice. But what no one tells you is this: it’s a ticking clock. If you outlive the term, you get nothing. All those years of paying in? Gone. Just like that. Who wins? The insurance companies. Every. Single. Time. They count on you to drop it. They bank on you not knowing any better. But what if you flipped the...

Feeling burnt out? You’re not the only investor hitting that wall. Long hours, back-to-back deals, tenants, contractors, financing, and the never-ending pressure to grow. You got into real estate for time freedom and financial independence, but somewhere along the way, it started to feel like just another grind. Here’s the truth most investors won’t say out loud: Burnout isn’t a rite of passage, it’s a red flag. And ignoring it can cost you more than just momentum; it can eat away at your health, relationships, and your reason for investing in the first place. But what if there’s...
info_outlineWe’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.
