Welcome to another episode of The Rising Tide Startups. Our host, Kevin Prewett, is joined by Sarry Ibrahim, a seasoned financial expert specializing in assisting high net-worth individuals, real estate investors, business owners, and retirees. With a focus on "banking on oneself," Sarry's business revolves around life insurance products as an independent insurance agency and a broker. He empowers his clients with effective tools and strategies to maximize the potential of life insurance for secure and consistent financial growth. As the host of the popular "Thinking Like A Bank" podcast, Sarry shares valuable insights on navigating the complexities of the financial landscape. Join us for an engaging conversation with financial expert, Sarry Ibrahim, as we explore wealth creation and protection.

A few highlights:

The concept of becoming your own source of financing: leveraging life insurance as a tool for wealth growth and protection, reducing dependence on traditional banking.

Benefits of becoming your own bank: Borrowing against a life insurance policy allows individuals to have access to funds without the pressure of set repayment terms. 

Learning curve and understanding of the strategy: the concept of using life insurance as a financing tool is unfamiliar. Thus, it requires self-education and research to fully comprehend the strategy. When the process is explained and understood, it becomes a logical and mathematically sound approach.

Joining us today is Ron Ross, President and COO of Everee, a payroll platform that eases the payroll process for both employers and employees.

Ron is a seasoned finance executive with 15 years of experience leading accounting, finance and operations teams at fast-growing companies. Ron came up with Everee after seeing firsthand the negative impact of waiting two weeks for a paycheck. His daughter had a job making enough to cover her expenses, but she kept running out of money because the timing of her payday and bills didn’t match. Realizing what a huge problem this was for

so many Americans, Ron decided to challenge the status quo and created Everee to make faster paydays a reality. Since founding the company in 2018, Ron has grown the team by 5X and raised Seed and Series A financing rounds totaling $14M in April 2019 and 2020 respectively.
