For most service members, the transition into retirement is a blur of acronyms, briefings, and deadlines. You’ve spent decades mastering your craft, but only a few short hours deciding how to protect your family’s financial future. When the time comes to make a decision about the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP), many retirees simply check the…

In this episode of The Wade Borth Podcast, Wade breaks down the recent headlines about NASCAR driver Kyle Busch allegedly losing $8.5 million in an Indexed Universal Life (IUL) scheme—and why stories like this create so much confusion about life insurance. Wade explains the likely factors behind the situation, including premium financing and unrealistic illustrations,…

Most business owners are busy chasing the next sale, signing the next deal, and putting out the next fire. But ask most of them where their money actually goes every month, and they’ll give you a blank stare. The truth is, inefficiency—not lack of revenue—is what’s quietly destroying their businesses. We’ve been taught to think…

In this episode: Wade walks through Business Banker (treating capital like a business, routing more cash flow through policies, and demanding payback with interest) and Infinite Banker (a closed family banking ecosystem where money consistently flows through your policies across generations).

In this episode: Wade breaks down the first two stages of owning whole life: Saver (building a safe, liquid foundation and tightening your relationship with money) and Wealth Builder (shifting premiums from “expense” to “opportunity,” paying down the right debts, and funding opportunities without sacrificing liquidity).

There’s a saying that goes: “Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.” It means the first generation builds the wealth, the second preserves it, and by the third — it’s gone.

Most people view retirement as the finish line — years of saving and sacrifice finally paying off. But here’s the real question: are you ready for what comes after?

Wade sits down with Dallas-based advisor Brent White to unpack why most financial advice fails business owners—and what a team-based, “family office” approach can do instead. From Infinite Banking and cash-flow efficiency to avoiding siloed planning (hello, audits and missing 401(k) bonds), Wade and Brent share real-world tactics to build resilient companies, create liquidity, and…

Most people are following a set of money rules they never agreed to. Cash comes in, some gets spent, some gets invested, and whatever’s left might get saved. The problem is that order leaves you under pressure — always depending on banks and lenders to tell you what’s possible. But it doesn’t have to be…
