In this episode, Nicole shares how she went from sitting bedside with dementia patients to acquiring raw land, navigating septic and zoning laws, and securing an SBA loan to build Mosaic Memory Care, a 16 room luxury...

293 - Infinite Banking: Unlocking Financial Freedom with Anthony Faso & Cameron Christiansen

What if the money you need for your next deal is already sitting right under your nose—and you’re just not using it the right way? In this episode, we break down how real estate investors can stop “begging” for funding, keep their money compounding, and use smarter systems to build real financial freedom.

Jen Josey sits down with Anthony Faso and Cameron Christensen (founders of Infinite Wealth Consultants and hosts of the Infinite Wealth Podcast) to dumb down the concept of infinite banking—aka “becoming your own bank.” They explain it with simple, real-world examples (think: using a rewards credit card… but for investing), and show how a properly designed high cash value whole life insurance strategy can keep your capital safe, liquid, and compounding while you use it for down payments, BRRRR deals, and scaling your portfolio.

If you’re a real estate investor tired of the stock market rollercoaster, confused about whole life insurance, or trying to build passive income greater than monthly expenses, this is for you. The market shifts, taxes change, and “traditional” advice keeps failing investors—so if you want more certainty, control, and collateral right now, this conversation will challenge what you think you know.

5 Powerful Takeaways

  • How to turn friends and family into private money lenders (ethically, clearly, and in writing) so you can fund deals without chasing strangers

  • The simplest explanation of infinite banking: store capital in a place that stays safe + liquid, then leverage it so your money never stops compounding

  • Why withdrawing cash breaks the compound interest curve—and how borrowing against cash value can keep growth going while you invest

  • The real definition of financial freedom: passive income > monthly expenses (and why “net worth” can be a trap)

  • The 2-step next move: get educated first, then run the math for your situation before you decide if infinite banking is a fit

About the Guest

Anthony Faso and Cameron Christensen are the founders of Infinite Wealth Consultants and hosts of the Infinite Wealth Podcast. Anthony is a U.S. Army veteran and “recovering CPA” who worked at the world’s largest accounting firm and served as a CFO before the 2008 recession pushed him to rethink traditional financial advice. Cameron is a long-time small business owner who became frustrated with the typical “Wall Street” approach and shifted into infinite banking and real estate investing. Together, they help clients build financial independence with more certainty, control, and collateral—so they’re not stuck relying on the stock market. Their focus is on creating systems to grow passive income and make smarter money decisions that support real-world investing.
