Could life insurance be a better cash-flow tool than a savings account?

Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson sit down with Rod Zabriskie from Money Insights Group to break down how high cash value whole life insurance can be used as a powerful cash-flow tool for pilots and investors. They cut through the confusion around “infinite banking” and explain how properly structured policies can improve liquidity, reduce friction when investing, and add meaningful long-term returns. This episode walks through real pilot use cases, common mistakes, and why this strategy has become a quiet cornerstone for sophisticated alternative investors.

Rod Zabriskie, president of the Money Insights Group, specializes in advanced wealth-building strategies using life insurance as a financial tool. With a pragmatic, education-first approach, Rod helps high-income professionals, especially pilots, understand how to leverage whole life policies for liquidity, tax advantages, and long-term returns.

Are you paying for a high-powered CPA when your tax situation doesn’t actually require one?

In this episode, Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson sit down with CPA Gary Heldt to clarify what smart tax planning really looks like for high-income pilots with relatively simple financial lives. They break down how W-2 earners can optimize taxes without complex businesses, aggressive strategies, or unnecessary fees. Gary explains how often-overlooked fundamentals like benefits planning, estimated taxes, and coordinated advice can quietly compound into meaningful long-term gains. If you want clarity, confidence, and a more intentional approach to your CPA relationship, this episode delivers.

Gary Heldt is a CPA, Certified Tax Coach, and founder of Small Business Advisors. With over 25 years of experience, he helps high-income professionals make better tax decisions through a consultative, family-office-style approach that prioritizes clarity over complexity.
