    Ep 22 — Do You Have to Be Wealthy to Become Your Own Banker? | Becoming Your Own Banker Series (Ep 6)
    Jan 8 2026
    Do you have to be wealthy to become your own banker? That question stops more people than almost anything else. In this episode of the Becoming Your Own Banker series, Tricia walks through the true origin of the Infinite Banking Concept — and it didn't begin with wealth, comfort, or a perfectly organized financial life. It was born in crisis. By tracing Nelson Nash's journey, you'll discover why the real breakthrough wasn't earning more money, but revising the spending pattern and redirecting cash flow through a system you control. If you've ever wondered: "How can I afford this?" "Is Infinite Banking only for people who already have money?" "Is there a real way out of financial prison?" This episode will challenge the way you think about money, discipline, and long-range planning. If Nelson could build a way out from the middle of crisis, so can you. 👉 Learn more or get started at banklessbydesign.com 📘 Referenced Book: Becoming Your Own Banker by R.

    Ep 21 — Who Really Controls the Money? | Becoming Your Own Banker Series (Ep 5)
    Jan 1 2026

    Who really controls the money?
    In Episode 21 of the Becoming Your Own Banker series, we take a 30,000-foot view of money, banking, and control. Nelson Nash teaches that there is one pool of money in the world — constantly flowing through individuals, families, businesses, and banks — and the banking business exists to control that flow.

    Most people never stop to ask how much of the banking function they actually control as it relates to their own needs. In this episode, we explore cash flow, the illusion of control, and why money always finds its way back to the banking system unless families intentionally keep that function at home.

    This conversation lays the foundation for becoming Bankless by Design.

    Ep 20 — Unlock Financial Freedom by Thinking Like a Banker | Becoming Your Own Banker Series (Ep 4)
    Dec 18 2025
    Banks don't chase returns — they control the flow of money. What if you did the same? In this episode of Bankless by Design, Tricia Miller and her son Jonathan continue the Becoming Your Own Banker® series by walking through the second half of the book's introduction. Together, they dismantle some of the most common misunderstandings about Infinite Banking — and reveal why thinking like a banker, is the real key to long-term financial freedom. You'll learn: ✔️ Why Infinite Banking is not an investment ✔️ Why focusing on rates of return misses the point ✔️ How banks actually make money — especially in low-interest environments ✔️ Why Infinite Banking is a process, not a get-rich-quick scheme ✔️ How dividend-paying whole life insurance functions as a personal banking system ✔️ Why long-range, intergenerational thinking matters more than short-term gains This episode is especially important if you've ever asked: "What's the rate of return on an IBC policy?" "Is Infinite Banking basically a pension or retirement plan?" "Why do banks thrive even when interest rates are low?" If you're ready to stop swimming upstream in the traditional financial system and start reclaiming control of your capital, this conversation will challenge — and change — the way you think about money. 📘 Referenced Book: Becoming Your Own Banker by R.
