My guest today is Gary Pinkerton, a wealth strategist at Paradigm Life. Gary has a fascinating personal history as a former military submarine captain. He transitioned into real estate as a civilian career. Gary and I discuss his path to wealth strategy. We also explore Gary’s specialty in infinite banking, which is a self-banking investment strategy.
Gary explains self-banking and outlines the benefits of using an insurance policy as a revenue source. We discuss the multiple uses for the money and how investors can take control of their liquidity.
