Borrow From Yourself, Not the Bank — IUL 101

Most people are trained to chase a loan before they build a plan. This episode flips the script. We unpack how a properly structured Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy can become your personal capital reservoir—so you can fund opportunities, handle emergencies, and keep momentum without begging a bank for permission.

Two guest hosts walk through the mechanics in plain English: how cash value grows, what “zero is the hero” really means, and how policy loans work behind the scenes. We get practical about design (funding, costs, guardrails) and confront the big questions: IUL vs. 401(k), IUL vs. 529, and when an IUL is the right tool (and when it’s not). Strong opinions, no hype—just strategy, math, and control.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What an IUL is—and how it can grow cash value with downside protection
• The real meaning of “borrow against” your policy (not from it) and why that matters
• How “zero is the hero” works during market volatility
• The difference between participating loans and fixed loans (pros/cons)
• IUL vs. 401(k): liquidity, taxes, sequence-of-returns risk, and control
• IUL vs. 529: flexibility, ownership, financial-aid impact, and multi-purpose use
• Smart policy design basics: funding levels, costs, riders, and timelines
• Common mistakes to avoid (underfunding, over-loaning, chasing illustrations)

Who this is for:
Entrepreneurs, high-initiative professionals, and families who want liquidity, protection, and the ability to say yes to opportunities on their own timeline.

Why it matters:
Wealth isn’t just rate of return—it’s control. An IUL, designed correctly, can be an “envelope that earns,” letting you access capital while your cash value keeps working.

Resources & Next Steps:

• Book a strategy call to see if an IUL fits your situation and goals.
• Share this episode with someone who keeps hitting bank roadblocks.
• Purchase the book, Become Your Own Bank by T. Ray Greer, Jr.

Episode Title: Faith and Finances (with Dr. Tanya Tyus)
Podcast: Wealth Explosion Podcast with T. Ray Greer, Jr. (Greerology)

Episode Description:
What happens when faith meets financial wisdom? In this special crossover episode, I’m honored to share an impactful conversation I had on The Dr. Tanya Tyus Podcast, where I was invited to discuss a topic near and dear to my heart: Faith and Finances.

Too often, we’re told to keep our money matters separate from our spiritual walk, but the truth is, your faith should fuel your finances. In this raw and enlightening interview, I unpack the spiritual principles that shape my financial decisions and share practical strategies to help everyday people—especially in the Black community—create generational wealth, break cycles of poverty, and live with purpose.

Together, Dr. Tyus and I explore:

✅ Why faith is more than belief—it's a blueprint for building
✅ How the Bible teaches wealth stewardship and debt discipline
✅ Breaking the “poverty mindset” passed down through generations
✅ The tension of tithing, saving, and investing all at once
✅ The power of vision, hustle, and God-given responsibility
✅ Real-life financial strategies to increase income and eliminate debt
✅ What it means to live richly—spiritually and financially

Whether you’re trying to escape living paycheck to paycheck, fund your children’s future, or just be a good steward over what God has given you, this episode offers the inspiration and instruction you need to take the next step.

🎙️ About the Guest Interview:
 This episode originally aired on The Dr. Tanya Tyus Podcast, and I’m thrilled to re-air it here for the Wealth Explosion audience. Dr. Tyus is a powerful voice in both faith and education, and her platform is doing incredible work empowering leaders across the country.

💥 This is not just another money talk—this is a faith-fueled money transformation.

Let this episode challenge you to look at your bank account the same way you look at your Bible—with expectation, alignment, and a vision for more.
