The #1 Strategy The Wealthy Use That Nobody Teaches You | The Rockefeller Method | Part 3
Watch the webinar on the Rockefeller Method now: In this episode, Darren and Christina continue their Rockefeller Method series by diving into one of the most misunderstood wealth-building tools: life insurance. But not the way you think. Chapter 5 of “What Would the Rockefellers Do?” outlines how the ultra-wealthy have been using high-cash-value life insurance policies to grow and protect their wealth for generations. While most people think of insurance as just a payout when you die, the rich think of it as a living benefit — a financial engine they can access and control throughout their lifetime. We break down how Canadians — business owners, real estate investors, and even everyday families — can use this exact strategy to unlock liquidity, minimize tax, and build multi-generational wealth.
