David Stearns and James Neathery of the Nelson Nash Institute (NNI) explain why dividend-paying Whole Life is the only structure Nelson Nash recommended to support the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC).

You’ll learn:

  • How Universal Life shifts performance and longevity risk to the policyholder
  • Why the Cost of Insurance (COI) rises over time, threatening long-term viability
  • The difference between illustration-based planning and contractual guarantees
  • Why Whole Life’s cash value is guaranteed to equal the face amount by age 100/120
  • How mutuality, dividends, and non-forfeiture options create reliable long-term capital

This video also highlights the historical evolution of life insurance: demutualization, 1980s product design, and industry pressures, and how Austrian economic principles shaped Nelson Nash’s long-range banking philosophy.

By the end, you’ll understand why IBC works only with Whole Life and why any product dependent on projections or rising costs undermines the core principles of becoming your own banker.

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.
