In this episode, Krisstina and Richard Canfield — an Infinite Banking practitioner and long-time student of Nelson Nash — dive into the philosophy behind Becoming Your Own Banker and why it reshaped both of their lives. Richard shares how a $20 book gave him a better financial education than $40,000 worth of real estate and personal finance seminars, and why Infinite Banking is about more than insurance policies; it’s about behavior, mindset, and creating a family system of wealth.Together, they discuss the difference between tax strategy and tax prep, how to rethink “capital” as the foundation of wealth creation, and why payments never end — but you can choose whether to make them to a bank or back into your own family system. Richard also explains how he teaches clients to hold “family banking meetings,” passing down not just money but the values and habits that ensure wealth lasts for generations.If you’ve ever felt constrained by traditional banks, frustrated with debt, or unsure how to secure your financial legacy, this conversation offers a radically different way of thinking about money — one that could change your life and your family’s future.Links & ResourcesBecoming Your Own Banker – Nelson Nash: https://amzn.to/4fVbwIoCash Follows the Leader by Richard Canfield & Jason Lowe: https://amzn.to/3JF4T0VDon’t Spread the Wealth by Richard Canfield & Jason Lowe: https://amzn.to/47l8PhnWhat They Talked About3:40 – Krisstina’s introduction to Infinite Banking through Becoming Your Own Banker6:45 – Richard’s first copy of Nash’s book and why he still re-reads it today12:00 – Why this $20 book was more valuable than $40,000 of financial seminars18:30 – Nelson Nash’s philosophy: "It’s all about how you think"26:00 – The connection between Austrian economics and Infinite Banking33:00 – Understanding capital and why payments never end45:00 – Becoming your own banker vs. Infinite Banking as a family system50:00 – How to host family banking meetings and pass wealth values down generations Subscribe & ShareIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review — and share it with someone who needs to hear Richard Canfield’s message of financial freedom.

Watch & Subscribe on YouTubeRob Cook isn’t your average tax guy. Yes, he’s a CPA and CFP®, but more than that — he’s a strategist who knows that taxes are your #1 expense and the most overlooked wealth-building lever. In this episode, we dive deep into the power of proactive planning, why tax prep is not the same as tax strategy, and how even savvy entrepreneurs leave money on the table.Rob shares the mindset shifts, frameworks, and real-life examples that help his clients keep more, grow faster, and live freer. We also talk about the emotional side of money, the myths around real estate and write-offs, and why choosing the right advisor is one of the most important money decisions you’ll ever make. Key Takeaways:Tax planning is not tax preparation. Strategy starts long before April.Your CPA must work with your financial team. Silence between advisors leads to lost money.If you’re only a W-2 earner, you’re paying max tax. The IRS rewards investors and business owners.Wealth = What You Keep. Taxes are often the single biggest leak in your wealth bucket.High-net-worth clients don’t DIY. Rob’s most successful clients build a team of experts.Memorable Quotes:“Most people think tax strategy is just saving receipts. It’s not.” — Rob Cook“You shouldn’t be doing this alone. The wealthy never do.” — Krisstina Wise“You can’t invest what you give away to the IRS.” — Krisstina Wise“There’s a reason the wealthy use entities, trusts, and structures — it’s to legally keep more of their money.” — Rob Cook“The goal isn’t to pay zero in taxes. It’s to pay your minimum legal obligation.” — Rob CookTime Stamps:00:00 — Intro to Rob Cook03:45 — What most people get wrong about taxes09:22 — Why W-2 income gets taxed the hardest14:10 — The power of proactive planning20:30 — What tax strategy actually looks like27:40 — How the wealthy build teams to protect wealth35:15 — Rob’s personal philosophies on money and success43:00 — Final thoughts and resourcesMyth Busted:Most people believe that tax strategy only matters in April — that once you hand everything off to your CPA, your job is done. Rob Cook challenges this myth head-on.As a CPA and wealth strategist, Rob reveals that by the time tax season arrives, it's already too late to make meaningful changes. The biggest tax-saving opportunities happen months — sometimes years — before returns are filed. From choosing the right entity structure to aligning with wealth-building goals, strategic tax planning is a year-round process.Rob explains, “Tax prep is compliance. It’s looking backward. But tax strategy is proactive — it’s designing your life and income in a way that minimizes taxes and maximizes wealth.” Most W-2 earners, he notes, are unknowingly paying the highest effective tax rates simply because they never learned how to play the game.His approach shifts the entire conversation: taxes aren’t a once-a-year burden — they’re a lifelong wealth lever. With the right knowledge and team, anyone can structure their income to keep more of what they earn, legally and confidently.Resources Mentioned:Claim Your Complimentary Tax Strategy SessionSchedule your free 45-minute consultation with Rob Cook, CPA, CFP®.

We want to live to 100, maybe more. But these plans are not set up to live to 100, which means if we just rely on traditional retirement plans, it's very likely that we'll run out of money.""Match, don't max because you just want to take advantage of what the company is matching. But we don't want to max out everything that we can put into these types of programs.""To really build wealth and to build it powerfully, you might say, 'Hey, there's my neighbor. The estate wants to dump this property really fast. I can get a great deal on this house.'
