Most people fail with money because they're stuck in extremes. Underwhelmed by the same old advice like "save more, spend less, lock it away and hope compound interest saves the day." The truth is simple: You are the asset. Your ability to create value is the greatest investment you'll ever have. This episode breaks down Garrett Gunderson's framework for the six money moves that actually matter. Stop locking money away in qualified plans. Stop self-insuring when you should transfer risk. Stop overpaying taxes as a W-2 employee with only 8 deductions when business owners access 475. Focus on cash flow assets that let you live today while building wealth for tomorrow. The penalty for following broken financial philosophies is permanent, but aligning your plan with who you are brings freedom sooner than you think.

• Step 1: Automate liquidity using whole life as emergency fund - calculate daily burn rate to know exact days of liquidity

• Step 2: Self-insurance is a myth - transfer catastrophic risk to insurance companies for pennies on the dollar

• Step 3: Get trust in place to avoid probate - if you don't have estate plan, government has one for you

• Step 4: W-2 employees have 8 tax deductions, business owners with EIN have 475 - create business entity now

• Step 5: Invest in your investor DNA - ask "do I GET to do this or HAVE to do this?"

You need to be able to outprint the Fed. To learn a stress-tested way to accelerate your investment capital, go to https://remnantfinance.com/options to learn the framework we discuss this week.

AI is transforming the world faster than anyone realizes—and the job market as we know it is about to disappear. In this episode, we speak with Navy nuclear engineer turned entrepreneur Troy Broussard, founder of Low Stress Trading, about how to survive this economic upheaval by creating money faster than the Federal Reserve can devalue it.

Troy shares how his unique trading framework is helping ordinary people beat inflation, break free from the traditional “buy and hope” system, and generate consistent weekly income—regardless of what the market does. We explore how artificial intelligence, automation, and Elon Musk's Starlink and Optimus projects are dismantling the old economy and why financial independence now depends on agility, not credentials.

The financial paradigms that guided the last ninety years will be counterproductive in the next ninety years. This is an episode about freedom—from inflation, from dependence on failing systems, and from the illusion of job security.

Chapters:

00:30 - Opening segment

04:10 - Elon Musk’s Starlink, Optimus, and the AI revolution

10:45 - Why Apple stopped innovating and what it means for investors

15:20 - The collapse of old financial paradigms

21:00 - The rich don’t pay taxes—they redefine income

27:45 - Throwing away 90 years of failed investment logic

33:30 - What weekly options really are and why anyone can learn them

41:15 - How to make money in an up, down, or sideways market

47:20 - Weekly income vs. buy‑and‑hope investing

52:00 - Real‑world math: The “lost decade” myth

58:30 - Income beats net worth—why cash flow wins every time

1:03:45 - Trading through recessions and inflation cycles

1:10:50 - Why “too good to be true” is a broken mindset

1:18:00 - Generational impact: teaching kids to outpace inflation

1:23:40 - Hyper‑compounding: 1% per week means 68% annually

1:29:10 - The future of Low Stress Trading’s software revolution

1:33:20 - The community that celebrates success, not envy

1:38:40 - Closing thoughts

Key Takeaways:

• AI is rewriting the job market faster than experts predicted

• Elon Musk’s Starlink and Optimus projects will redefine automation and employment

• Inflation is real, and official CPI numbers are meaningless compared to daily reality

• The wealthy build wealth by controlling how income is classified and taxed

• “Buy and Hold” investing is obsolete in the AI-driven economy

• Weekly option trading creates consistent, compounding income

• You can make money in any market by “being the bank” through options

• Teaching kids financial literacy early can make them self-sufficient for life

• The new financial freedom is independent of jobs, pensions, or Wall Street

College tuition has increased 1184% since 1980 while the value of that education has plummeted... The system that worked for our parents' generation has become a debt trap that produces functionally illiterate graduates who can't read, can't write, and are trained to rely on AI for everything. Sixty Illinois schools have zero students reading or doing math at grade level. University professors report students who can't comprehend basic assignments, expect unlimited resubmissions, and ask if reading exams are open book. The goal of college is ideological indoctrination, not education. AI has decimated the value proposition further by replacing the exact jobs that required degrees - law firms aren't hiring junior associates because AI does case research instantly, and doctors are being outperformed by diagnostic AI that's 400% more accurate. Meanwhile, trades are booming with massive worker shortages, allowing skilled tradespeople to command premium prices and own their businesses. If your child has a specific passion requiring a degree - nursing, military officer, certain specialized fields - and a plan to pay for it without federal loans, maybe. But the default assumption that kids should go to college from 18-22 needs to die. Take a gap year, start a business, learn a trade, do an apprenticeship, or get your GED at 16 and start community college early. Stop enriching a broken system that leaves your children $40,000 in debt and unemployable.

Chapters:

00:30 - Opening segment

04:30 - The trades are booming while college graduates work at coffee shops

33:25 - College degree now a liability when hiring

34:45 - Charlie Kirk built $100M business with community college degree

36:40 - California homeschool charter system under attack by teachers' unions

42:00 - Start a business, learn taxes, understand the real world first

43:00 - Get your GED at 16 and start community college early

46:00 - High school diploma is worthless - challenge the assumption

49:20 - When college might make sense

50:10 - IBC as a tool to fund education without federal loans

51:10 - Internships don't require college enrollment

52:05 - Closing segment

Key Takeaways:

• College tuition has increased 1184% since 1980

• The value of a college education has gone down dramatically as costs skyrocketed

• Average federal student loan debt per borrower is nearly $40,000, totaling $1.7 trillion nationally

• For white males specifically, average income is now LOWER with a college degree than without

• AI has made the college degree nearly obsolete by replacing the exact jobs that required them

• 50% of college graduates never work in their field of study

• High school diploma is worthless - nobody ever asks for it

• Use IBC to fund education without federal loans if you must go

• Internships don't require college enrollment - 18-year-olds can approach businesses directly

What happens if you can't afford your whole life insurance premium anymore? It's the most common concern when people design large policies for Infinite Banking: "I don't want to pay this huge premium until I'm 95 years old." The truth is, once you understand what premium is doing for you—building momentum, creating guaranteed growth, and establishing your family banking system—you won't want to stop.

But life happens. Income disruptions, career changes, or simply changing priorities might make you reconsider. That's why understanding your contractual rights matters. There are five distinct options when you can't or won't continue paying premiums, and most people only know about the worst one: surrendering for cash. This episode breaks down all five options, from the contractual non-forfeiture provisions required by state law to the optimal strategy that lets your policy sustain itself. We explain extended term insurance, reduced paid-up insurance, automatic premium loans, and the dividend payment strategy—plus why working with an authorized IBC practitioner ensures you actually have access to these options. The goal isn't to plan your exit from day one, but to understand the full contract you're entering and know you have control no matter what happens.

Chapters:

00:00 - Opening segment

07:00 - Introduction to non-forfeiture options and PUA

10:00 - Four contractual non-forfeiture options overview

11:20 - Cash value refresher

13:00 - Net present value

14:40 - Dave Ramsey's misrepresentation

17:50 - Company exposure and why cash value grows over time

18:55 - Option 1: Cash surrender value (closing the policy)

20:30 - Option 2: Extended term insurance explained

25:45 - Option 3: Automatic premium loan (APL)

27:00 - When APL makes sense: income disruption scenarios

32:00 - Base premium vs. total premium: What you actually need to sustain

35:00 - Option 4: Reduced paid-up insurance (RPU)

36:25 - Why you can't RPU before year seven (MEC rules)

42:15 - How using dividends changes projections

44:50 - Option 5: Using dividends to pay premiums (the optimal strategy)

48:05 - Keeping premium door open

52:00 - Protection and savings before speculation

54:10 - Keeping the wall between savings and investments

56:30 - Final thoughts

Key Takeaways:

- Cash surrender value is not separate from death benefit—it's your equity in the future payment at present value

- There are 5 total options when you can't pay premium: 4 contractual non-forfeiture options plus the dividend strategy

- Cash surrender (Option 1): Walk away with equity, lose all coverage—least recommended option

- Extended term insurance (Option 2): Same death benefit dollar amount, reduced timeframe based on cash value

- Reduced paid-up insurance (Option 3): Same timeframe (whole life), reduced death benefit, no future premiums required

- Automatic premium loan (Option 4): Company loans against cash value to pay base premium automatically

- Dividend payment (Option 5): Use policy dividends to pay base premium—the optimal approach for mature policies

- Not all whole life companies support optimal IBC design—must have PUA riders available

- Work only with Nelson Nash Institute authorized practitioners to ensure proper policy structure

- Goal is never to stop paying premium once you understand what it's doing for your family banking system

- Your whole life policy should be the asset you understand most completely before signing

Two tragedies in one week exposed something many conservatives had been denying: we are not all Americans working toward the same goals. When one side celebrates assassination and the other extends olive branches, the asymmetry becomes fatal. If you believe in traditional values, speak openly about Christ, or question progressive orthodoxy, they consider you deserving of violence. The second half of the episode pivots to Parkinson's Law and its application to both time and money. Work expands to fill the time allowed, expenses rise to meet income, and luxuries become necessities. Without forced savings mechanisms like Infinite Banking and cash flow systems, lifestyle inflation will consume every raise and prevent wealth accumulation. The connection is direct: mastering money flow gives you control over time, and controlling your time means living the life you want now rather than deferring everything to a retirement that may never come.

Chapters:00:35 - Opening

02:15 - Ukrainian train murder and Charlie Kirk assassination

05:10 - The celebration of violence by the left

09:45 - The leftist flowchart for responding to violence

11:40 - The myth of "national conversation" exposed

14:30 - First Amendment misunderstanding and employment consequences

16:30 - Cancel culture hypocrisy: bodily autonomy vs. speech

24:10 - DC transformation through force: crime to safety overnight

25:20 - Parkinson's Law

26:30 - Becoming Your Own Banker

30:30 - Forced savings through IBC vs. flexible premium policies

37:30 - Funneling raises into policy premiums to avoid lifestyle inflation

38:00 - Tax refund strategy

40:50 - Closing thoughts and call to action

Key Takeaways:

- Political violence is almost exclusively a leftist phenomenon

- Celebration of Charlie Kirk's murder came from mainstream sources, not fringe accounts

- The "national conversation" narrative was always a lie - they want compliance, not dialogue

- Losing your job for speech is not a First Amendment violation

- First Amendment protects you from government censorship, not employer consequences

- Same people demanding speech consequences for conservatives opposed vaccine mandate employment termination

- Work expands to fill the time envelope allowed

- Expenses rise to equal income without intervention

- Luxuries once enjoyed become necessities (air conditioning, heated seats, smartphones)

- Without forced mechanisms, lifestyle inflation consumes all income increases

What if your mortgage worked like a checking account? What if every dollar you earned immediately reduced your interest charges? What if you could access your home's equity without getting a second loan or refinancing? Harrison George, the nation's top All-in-One loan producer, reveals a mortgage product that flips conventional wisdom on its head.

Traditional mortgages trap your equity and front-load interest payments so heavily that at 5.625%, you pay 100% of your loan amount in interest alone. The All-in-One loan integrates your checking account with your mortgage, automatically sweeping deposits to reduce your daily interest calculations while maintaining full access to those funds. This isn't velocity banking with multiple accounts and complex strategies - it's velocity banking simplified into one product.

Hans learns the mechanics in real-time while Brian shares his personal experience using the loan to buy property, pay insurance premiums, and access equity for investments. From SOFR-based adjustable rates that outperform fixed mortgages to qualification requirements and practical applications, this episode breaks down how the All-in-One loan can accelerate wealth building for disciplined borrowers ready to rethink everything they know about home financing.

Two 31-year-old fathers of two. One died unexpectedly in a hospital, leaving his family scrambling financially with only a $400,000 life insurance policy. The other was assassinated for his political beliefs, sparking a national conversation about violence and ideology. Both tragedies expose the same uncomfortable truth: none of us know when our last day will come.

Hans opens with a sobering reality check for fathers - if you don't wake up tomorrow, how does your family survive financially? Beyond the emotional devastation, what practical steps have you taken to ensure your wife can pay the mortgage, access accounts, and maintain the lifestyle you've built together? The episode serves as both a wake-up call about financial preparedness and an introduction to alternative investment strategies through client Will Leight's raw land business.

The conversation takes a hard turn into cultural commentary following recent events, examining the escalation of political violence and the breakdown of civil discourse.

The media obsesses over whether Powell should cut rates, but they're missing the bigger story entirely…Since 2022, the Federal Reserve has fundamentally lost its ability to control long-term interest rates - and that might be the best thing to happen to American monetary policy in decades.

Joe Withrow from the Phoenician League returns to break down the most important financial shift you've never heard of: the transition from LIBOR to SOFR. While everyone argues about Fed policy, a quiet revolution has returned actual market forces to interest rate setting. The days of European banks manipulating global rates through sealed envelope submissions are over, replaced by real transactions from real institutions with real obligations.

This episode examines the mechanics of interest rates, repo markets, and why Trump's demands for rate cuts might not matter as much as everyone thinks. From the $9 trillion debt rollover crisis to the geopolitical implications of monetary independence, Hans and Joe connect the dots between outdated financial instruments and your personal investment strategy.

01:15:50 - Closing thoughts and next steps

Key Takeaways:

- LIBOR was manipulated by 17 banks submitting sealed envelope "guesses" with no binding obligations

- SOFR is based on actual overnight lending transactions between real institutions

- This shift has fundamentally severed the Fed's control over long-term interest rates

- Powell's 1% rate cut in 2024 caused long-term rates to go UP, proving the new dynamic

- Fed only controls short-term rates (up to 2 years) through the Fed funds rate

- Traditional "refinance when rates drop" assumptions no longer reliable
