Episode 109 - Thinking Like a Bank with Sarry Ibrahim

Sarry is a Bank On Yourself® Professional and the CEO and President of finassetprotection.com. Learning about podcasting has completely changed his story and business. This has to led to him being a guest on over 250 podcasts in the last 2 years and starting his own podcast as host of Thinking Like a Bank. 

Prior to getting involved in his current roles, Sarry started his journey toward a career in financial planning when he took a course in high school called Consumer Economics. This basic class was helpful and relevant, and Sarry determined then he wanted to have a career helping people. He went into insurance working for Allstate, and learned the questions often delved into financial coaching and growth. He read the book “Bank on Yourself Revolution” by Pamela Yellen and “Becoming Your Own Banker” by R. Nelson Nash that talks about the concept of infinite banking. This model helps unlock the cash value of life insurance policies to allow people to invest in other assets such as real estate. 

Thinking like a bank helps people change the tables so that they pay back themselves for the use of these cash values. The cash value of a life insurance policy is a unique financial instrument that offers many options where consumers can benefit in terms of access to finances, tax concerns, and market risk avoidance. However, the life insurance policies have to be structured properly to provide all of this value–cash value grows over time, tax-free, even when you leverage it.

Anybody can participate in this market and think like a bank. As long as people have as little as a few hundred dollars of month they can use in this manner, that’s all it takes to get started. Sarry meets with clients to do a financial analysis with them for about an hour with a goal to understand where they are now, and where they want to go financially. The most important point is where does the client want to go? This will set the tone for how Sarry sets them up for success with their policies and future plans.
