Welcome to another episode of Passive Income Through Multifamily Real Estate. Joining us in conversation today is Tom Laune, founder of Bulletproof Wealth. Tom kicks off our conversation by giving us an overview of how banks make money and why that is important, before he gives us a definition for another way to process your money: infinite banking, which originated in Austria. He tells the story of losing his high-frequency hearing while working in the music industry, which sparked his realization that it’s so important to protect your livelihood. It was also through this experience that he learned the importance of moving forward one step at a time. Tom’s message comes down to the fact that you have to trust the person you are investing with, and he points us in the direction of a free resource he provides on his website, videos to guide your decision-making and help you to self-educate. In closing, he reminds listeners that changing the way you manage your finances is a process, and it’s not about the rate of return. We hope you join us to hear him pass along these lessons from his life and business today.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
