Confessions Of A CPA - The Capital Equivalent Value of Life Insurance
With so many folks focused on accumulation and the rate of return (ROR) they earn, Bryan Bloom created a new metric to determine what you need to accumulate and receive as a ROR with alternative investments (stocks, mutual funds, real estate, etc) to have the (same) capital equivalent value (CEV) you gain with a specially designed and engineered whole life insurance contract. Though this book seems to just focus on this CEV concept, Bryan makes a strong case for combining your (uninterrupted) savings with the borrowing other people's money (OPM) to grow wealthier than you thought possible. IMHO, this...

For our 40th episode, we're going to challenge our listeners to RE-THINK their thinking. Enough said! “So what kind of financial strategies should you be using in your financial world? Should you be doing the same common things that everyone else is doing? Or should you maybe be doing things differently? The good news is that some of what I ‘know that I know’ is currently sitting in your blind spot. So, by sharing what I know, I hope to help you to expand that which you know. “ -Bryan S.

Collateral Capacity- The Importance of Increasing your Leverage
If you've listened to any of our previous episodes, you'll know that one of the major aspects that makes IBC so powerful is leverage. Leverage is traditionally viewed as a scary thing that irresponsible risk taking investors use. We would argue that the contractual leverage provided by a dividend paying whole life insurance policy is one of the safest financial tools one can have at their disposal. An life insurance policy is unique in that every year your leveragable capacity grows exponentially faster than the year before as you pay premiums and as policy dividends are paid...
