You’ve worked your whole life to build something that lasts. But what happens after you’re gone? Too many people avoid that question until it’s too late.

Because here’s the thing: your legacy is too important to put off till later. If you’re not intentional, you’ll leave your family with chaos and confusion.

Legacy doesn’t happen by accident. Trust structures are not magic documents. They’re only as good as the strategy behind them.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into how to build a legacy that doesn’t just pass on wealth, it passes on wisdom, protection, and purpose. And no one knows that better than Loral Langmeier.

She’s not just a six-time New York Times bestselling author or the CEO of Integrated Wealth Systems. She’s “The Millionaire Maker”, and she’s helped over 10,000 people build generational wealth through real estate, business, and smart financial systems.

Now, Loral is opening up her playbook on trusts, legacy planning, and how to protect your hard-earned assets from taxes, probate, and family drama. How do you make sure your heirs won’t inherit a mess? How do you leave them with an organized system of planning and wealth?

We break down the biggest myths around estate planning, why most trusts fail, and how to create one that lives on for generations. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-The “legacy planning lie” most families fall for A trust isn't a magic wand. What do you really need to include to protect your heirs from chaos, taxes, and lawsuits?

-How to make your kids millionaires—without spoiling them Many kids mismanage their inheritance because they don’t have the skills to maintain it. How do we start teaching kids about business, responsibility, and wealth from the time they’re toddlers?

-What’s coming in the economy (and how to prepare) Why record-high debt and rising delinquencies are just the beginning, and how to position yourself to profit from the downturn.

-The five experts every wealthy family needs A will isn’t enough. Laurel reveals the power team behind every airtight estate plan, and the #1 mistake most people make when hiring them.

You found the deal. You found the lender. You even closed with hard money. Now what?

That’s the question too many investors forget to ask—until it’s too late.

In today’s market, with traditional financing tightening up and banks saying “no” more often, smart investors know that real money is made after the flip. When you’ve got a reliable exit strategy.

But here's the problem: too many investors get stuck in the deal because they never thought through how they were going to get out. 

They scramble for financing after the fact, only to find the terms are terrible, if they can get approved at all. 

That’s when the clock starts ticking, interest racks up, and the whole investment starts bleeding cash. 

So what’s the play when the banks won’t play ball?

Enter Aaron Chapman, a seasoned lender who’s made it his mission to get the unbankable deals bankable. 

For over 20 years, Aaron has helped investors navigate the toughest markets. Now, he's teamed up with Private Money Club to help investors set themselves up for long-term wealth, not just short-term flips.

In this episode, Aaron shares exactly what you need to do to make your investment deals irresistible, not just to private lenders, but to banks, too.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-The “Exit Strategy Mistake” That’s Killing Deals Most investors think about finding the right property, not the right financing. What should really come first?

-What Banks Aren’t Telling You (But Aaron Will) Think the DSCR loan is your answer? It might be, but not the way most lenders do it. What do smart investors look for in today's lending climate?

-Why You Shouldn’t Pay Off That 30-Year Mortgage Early Could stretching out your mortgage be the best move you can make?

We’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.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Break free from the big lie 

If you think hard work will eventually pay off, you might be in for a rude awakening. How do you learn to work smarter?

-Create your money philosophy 

Most of what we believe about money comes from other people (and it’s often not good). How do we create better beliefs for ourselves? 

-Income with no equity 

Like many people, Jason was once trapped in the financial system, working hard to make others wealthy. What moment helped him finally break free?

Most people do what they’re told when it comes to money—get a job, stash cash in a 401(k), and hope there’s enough to retire someday. But what do they get? Debt. Stress. Zero control over their time and money.

Meanwhile, banks are making a fortune off their hard work. Savings get eaten up by taxes, inflation, and market crashes. Retirement accounts come with rules, restrictions, and penalties. And after years of grinding, most people still feel stuck, just trying to stay afloat.

What if there was a way out?

The Infinite Banking Concept flips the script. It’s not just about making money—it’s about keeping control. It’s a system that lets you take charge of your cash, grow wealth on your terms, and stop relying on banks that profit off you. With Infinite Banking, you decide how and when to use your money, without waiting until retirement or jumping through hoops. 

How will Infinite Banking transform your life? In this episode, special guest host and Money School partner Stephen Nagy talks to trainer and entrepreneur Brian Fouts. Brian talks about his journey, how he found Infinite Banking, and how it changed the trajectory of his life.

Brian Fouts got his start in life following the traditional path… went to school, got a corporate job, saved money into a 401k, and got into debt because that's what everyone else around him was doing. Yet after almost 15 years in the rat race, he lost more than $500,000 to corrupt financial planners and institutions. He was fed up with the rat race and the broken traditional path that did not provide financial security for his family. After leaving his corporate job and successfully investing in numerous assets including real estate, private lending, and online businesses, as well as growing a financial education business to the Inc.5000 list, Brian discovered the Infinite Banking Concept almost 10 years ago. After using this strategy in his own life, Brian made it his mission to help others gain back control of their money and financial life with this strategy. After impacting over 60,000 clients and individuals through his various companies and ventures, Brian continues to help others discover how real wealth and freedom can be attained through the Infinite Banking Concept.

The stock market’s ups and downs, the uncertainty of the economy, and inflation have many investors on edge, searching for something stable. But for those who know how to play it right, real estate has always stood out as a reliable option.

So, what’s the trick to making it work, especially when times are tough?

Here’s the thing: there’s never really a bad time to invest in real estate—just bad strategies. A good deal is always a good deal, no matter what’s happening around you. Take Joel Miller, for example. He started investing in 1978, a time when double-digit mortgage rates and sky-high inflation were enough to make most people think twice. But Joel’s experience proves that real estate can thrive in any market, as long as you know what you're doing.

Real estate is the most forgiving investment vehicle there is. Unlike stocks or indexes, it puts more control in your hands, and there’s always a way to make your money back (if you picked a good deal). 

And that’s huge when you’re trying to navigate uncertain times.

So, is now the right time to invest? According to Joel, it’s always the right time if you find the right deal. The market may shift, but if you hold onto a property long enough, there’s usually a way to make it work.

In this episode, I sit down with Joel Miller, a real estate veteran with over four decades of experience. Joel talks about his new book, Build Wealth In Real Estate And Enjoy The Journey, the wisdom he’s gained in his investing career and how you can spot good opportunities, no matter the market conditions. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-Knowledge vs. wisdom 

If you want to have a long investing career, knowing all the best strategies isn’t enough. What are some of the basic accounting mistakes investors make that tank their businesses? 

-Don’t wish for better rates, wish for better deals

Even in the worst markets, there’s never a bad time to invest in real estate, but there are bad strategies. What rule should govern whether or not we do a deal?

-The problem with low interest rates 

Many people wish for the super low interest rates we had a few years ago, but here’s the thing: they weren’t normal or good for the economy. Why are today’s interest rates better?

-Real estate: the most forgiving investing vehicle

In real estate investing, you can make a mistake and still find a way to make your money back. How does that differ from other investments?

Every entrepreneur, high-powered professional, and goal-driven person has hit a wall they just can’t seem to break through. Whether it's stuck revenue, burnout, imposter syndrome, or self-sabotage, it feels like the problem is external.

But here’s the truth: most of those barriers are internal. And the person holding you back? That could be the 7-year-old version of you.

Entrepreneurs especially carry programming that dictates every choice we make, rooted in childhood moments when we told ourselves stories to survive. Now, when we hit a ceiling in business, it’s usually because that old programming no longer works. The fix? Go back to that 7-year-old you, rewire those patterns, and unlock new levels of success.

So why do so many entrepreneurs end up stressed, burned out, and stuck? How does it impact our health, our families, and our growth?

In this episode, I’m joined by Annie Yatch, coach and CEO of NorthStar Leadership. She’ll break down how to shatter your business barriers by rewiring those old childhood patterns, and how brain technology can help you become Limitless.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-How to calm a stress-hijacked nervous system 

Entrepreneurs are highly competitive people who are constantly striving to achieve (often to our detriment). How do we rewire our brains so that this instinct doesn’t do more harm than good?

-How to become Limitless 

The movie Limitless might seem like pure fiction, but it’s actually based in reality. What brain tech helps entrepreneurs get to their next level of achievement in a healthier way?

-Calm is the key to business growth

As entrepreneurs, we’re always frantically seeking solutions to problems in our businesses. Could calming down actually be the key to finding those solutions?

How many mistakes did you have to make before you found success? How much time, money, and energy did trial and error cost you? Now, imagine watching someone else go down the same painful road—knowing you have the wisdom to help them avoid those missteps.

Yet, too often, people keep their hard-earned wisdom to themselves. Maybe you think others need to learn the "hard way," just like you did.

But does struggle for struggle’s sake really make sense? What if you could give them the wisdom shortcut—the insight, experience, and lessons that could save them years of frustration?

By sharing your wisdom, you’re not just giving advice—you’re redefining what’s possible for others. You’re showing them a path they didn’t even know existed. You’re turning obstacles into stepping stones, helping them reach their goals faster, smarter, and with fewer setbacks.

In this special 300th episode, I share the wisdom shortcut—lessons learned from my failures and mistakes, both in business and as a pro snowboarder. I reflect on my journey and how I’ve helped others avoid the same pitfalls by passing on the knowledge I’ve gained along the way.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Failure can fortify

Failure is a natural part of growth, strengthening wisdom and resilience. How can past failures shape better decisions in the future?

-Resourcefulness over resources

Success depends more on resourcefulness than available resources. How can thinking creatively help overcome financial limitations?

-Ego and emotions in business

Stay objective in business—avoid assumptions, emotions, and ego-driven decisions. How can you ensure logic guides your decisions rather than emotions?

Attorneys face a unique set of challenges that go beyond courtroom battles and client meetings. From managing unpredictable income and student debt to tracking the financial health of their practice, the journey is often more financially demanding than most realize.  

Many attorneys find themselves unprepared for the financial complexities of running a firm or navigating their career path, making it essential to have the right strategies in place early on. 

That’s where Jess Bailey’s journey comes in. Jess, a lawyer who’s battled through the financial ups and downs of the legal world, knows exactly what it takes to safeguard yourself—both legally and financially. Through her experiences, she’s learned that the best way to stay ahead is to "lawyer yourself up" before trouble arises.

How would you navigate the financial complexities of your own legal journey? Have you ever felt unprepared when facing legal matters? What’s your next move to ensure you’re protected legally?

In this episode, Managing Attorney of the Bailey Law Firm Jess Bailey joins me to talk about the crazy journey attorneys go through, why it's so important to “lawyer up” as well as the financial aspect of law.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Raising money privately

Privately raising money requires building trust, networking with investors, and presenting a compelling opportunity. What strategies can you use to establish trust with potential investors when raising money privately?

-The importance of KPIs

Tracking your business’s KPIs helps measure success and identify areas for improvement. How can tracking the right KPIs reveal hidden strengths or weaknesses in your business?

The volatility of stocks, the unpredictability of real estate, and the rising cost of living are leaving many investors searching for something stable. Gold, historically a safe haven, has hit new all-time highs—but what’s driving this surge, and what challenges lie ahead for those looking to get involved?

The truth is, the future of investing can feel like walking a tightrope. While everything around us fluctuates, gold stands as a rare asset with the potential to offer liquidity and value when other investments falter. 

But here's the kicker: the gold market isn’t foolproof. It comes with its own set of hurdles—price volatility, geopolitical risks, and accessibility issues—that could trip up even the most seasoned investor. 

So, how do we navigate these challenges while still capitalizing on the rise of gold? What can we do today to prepare our investments for a future where gold becomes the ultimate safe haven? What are the key factors driving gold's latest surge in value?

Seasoned advisor at McAlvany Precious Metals, Michael Arries, joins me for this episode to talk about the drivers behind gold’s rise and how to mitigate investment risks when it comes to precious metals. We also discuss how to take advantage of gold’s reliability.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Portfolios and precious metals

Diversifying a portfolio with precious metals can provide stability and hedge against inflation. What percentage of a portfolio should be allocated to precious metals for optimal balance?

-Using a self-directed IRA to purchase gold

A self-directed IRA allows investors to purchase gold, though many are unaware of this option. What steps are involved in using a self-directed IRA to invest in gold?

-Silver vs. gold

Silver is more volatile than gold and has the potential to outperform it in percentage gains, but gold is generally more stable and a preferred long-term hedge. Given silver's higher volatility, is it a better investment than gold?

Too often, giving is tied to personal gain—whether it’s a tax deduction, public praise, or a sense of obligation. But real generosity isn’t about what you get in return. It’s about giving with pure intentions, fueled by love and passion, not by what you stand to benefit.

Imagine what would happen if every act of kindness came from a place of true selflessness. How much more impact would your giving have? How much more fulfillment would you feel?

The ultimate purpose in life is to give—not for accolades, not for financial incentives, but because it’s the right thing to do. When you give with the right heart, the rewards come naturally: deeper connections, a stronger community, and a life filled with purpose.

In this episode urologist and pilot Dr. Brian Rambarran joins me to talk about the act of giving, its importance and the great impact it can have. We also talk about his rescue foundation and the difference he’s making.
