Is leverage always the golden key to building wealth—or can it sometimes hold you back?

Many entrepreneurs believe that using corporate or personal leverage is the ultimate strategy for unlocking cash flow and accelerating growth. But what happens when shifting debt from one pocket to another doesn’t actually improve your position? In this episode, we explore Omar’s story—an accomplished entrepreneur with multiple businesses, smart tax planning, and a well-structured financial system—who discovered that leverage wasn’t the answer he expected. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re missing out by not tapping into leverage, this conversation may shift your perspective.

You’ll discover:

  • Why using corporate-owned life insurance for leverage can backfire if the timing isn’t right.
  • The crucial difference between leverage that creates growth and leverage that simply shuffles debt.
  • How to evaluate which assets are truly best to borrow against—so you protect cash flow without triggering unnecessary tax or fees.

Press play now to learn when leverage can propel you forward—and when it’s wiser to keep that ace up your sleeve.

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.
