Save $500–$2,000 in hidden money leaks, organize your cash flow, and create a money system that actually works with the Money Hunt found inside the Smell of Money Community.  Join here: https://www.skool.com/the-smell-of-money/about [https://www.skool.com/the-smell-of-money/about] Most entrepreneurs work hard to make money but what happens after the money hits your bank account? In this episode of iDateMoney®, Lisa Drennon sits down with Thomas Cox, founder of Cox Capital and host of The Owners Table Podcast, to unpack the concept of Infinite Banking, a wealth-building strategy that uses specially designed whole life insurance policies to create a personal source of capital for investing, real estate, business growth, and long-term financial security. Whether you've heard of Infinite Banking or this is your first introduction, this conversation will challenge the way you think about cash flow, profit, and putting your money to work. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: * What Infinite Banking actually is—and who it's designed for. * Why this strategy only makes sense if you have consistent excess cash flow. * How entrepreneurs can use life insurance as a financial tool instead of viewing it as just a death benefit. * The biggest mistake business owners make when they say they're "reinvesting in the business." * Why Profit First principles create the foundation for sustainable wealth. * How to think differently about saving, investing, and building long-term financial freedom. * Why money should always have a job—not sit idle in a checking account. KEY TAKEAWAYS 💰 Money is a tool—not a trophy. 💰 Reinvesting in your business doesn't mean spending money on everything that promises growth. 💰 Insurance can become a strategic financial asset when used correctly. 💰 Building wealth starts with intentional cash flow management before investing. 💰 It's not about how much money you make—it's about what you do with it.
