Building wealth isn't just about hustle and grind. Every day, huge deals are being made, businesses and properties are changing hands, and a small group of people are making quantum leaps forward – building wealth faster than most dream possible. To the rest of the world, it looks like they have the Midas Touch. What makes them different? They chose to break AWAY. To build a mindset of abundance. To spot opportunities others overlook. On this podcast, we'll unlock the secrets to breaking out of the herd, thinking BIG and building wealth on our own terms. What's the point of wealth? Is it only to increase your bank account or is there more to it? There's an old saying that money can't buy happiness, but what about purpose and control? Can wealth provide you with a greater sense of purpose and control in life? Let's dive into the benefits of having purposeful wealth. Wealth can provide you with financial freedom, but it also gives you control over your destiny. When you have control, you can make decisions that benefit not only yourself, but those around you. You have the power to choose how your hard-earned money is used; whether it's investing in real estate, starting a business, donating to charity or helping others in need. Having control over your finances lets you live on your own terms and gives you peace of mind knowing that your future is secure. In this episode, Jim and Nick have a friendly discussion on how having purposeful wealth allows you to live with meaning beyond just making money. It gives you the ability to use your money for things that truly matter — whether it's providing for those in need or investing in something that could create jobs and stimulate economic growth. By using your wealth for something meaningful, you will be able to look back at the end of each day knowing that you made an impact on someone else's life.

In This Episode: Are taxes going up or down? Are those dollars in your pocket worth more today or the future? Would you rather pay tax on the seed or the harvest? These are the three questions that Jim asks people all the time, and the answers come so easily. Taxes are going up, of course, our dollars will be worth less in the future, and you would rather pay tax on the seed. Yet a traditional 401(k) or IRA violates all of these answers, and people are still putting their money there. Why? Because people still don't fully understand just how devastating inflation really is. The only way to keep up with inflation is to have actual assets – not instruments in Wall Street eroding every day – but assets. After 21 years in banking, that's exactly what this week's guest learned. Fouad Bazzi realized he could step away from the corporate grind and that investing would be a better option, and as a result has been running a short-term rental business for the last year. He sold every stock he ever had and began investing in the rental sector, and his business is thriving. He joins Jim this week to share his journey into short-term rentals, what drove him to do this, and how he runs his business differently from the norm. There is a reason that banks are the most profitable businesses in the world and it's because they control your money. But there is something the banks don't want you to know, and Fouad is sharing it with you this week. Jim and Fouad discuss the benefits of having assets, how Fouad broke away from the corporate sector, and the true power of real estate. Find out why people shouldn't be putting their money in Wall Street, the reasons more people don't invest in short-term rentals, and everything you need to consider if you are interested in breaking into the short-term rental space. - Connect with Jim Oliver: Facebook: CreateTailwind & Jim Oliver Website: https://createtailwind.com/ YouTube: CreateTailwind LinkedIn: Jim Oliver Join the Community: https://community.createtailwind.com/ RSVP for the next community Q&A HERE: https://community.createtailwind.com/events Connect with Fouad Bazzi: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fouad-bazzi-4415973 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fouadbazzi_airbnb/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/foubnb Resources Mentioned: Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom by Robert T.

Nelson Nash used to say the majority has never been right about anything, and that if you do common things you will get common results. We already know that infinite banking isn't for everybody, as some people don't want to break away from the herd. They're happy with the status quo and doing what they've been told without question. But infinite banking is different from the mainstream, so people who do it have a different mindset. We ask questions like, why do we have to put money in stocks? Why do we need an IRA? What else can we do? What else is out there hiding that people don't want us to find out about? How can we leverage it for our own good? The same can be said for functional medicine. Functional medicine is all about the why. Why is someone sick? Why are they having the symptoms they're having? What is the underlying cause of the issues this person is facing? It is about being proactive with your health and treating the underlying cause of the disease rather than waiting for it to happen and then treating it. It is about interrogating everything, seeking an alternative, non-traditional way of doing things, and questioning the status quo. And this week's guest is here to share more about functional medicine, and how he helps his patients live longer, happier, and healthier lives. This is a cool episode where Jim talks about different topics than usual because he's welcoming functional medicine doctor Sajad Zalzala to the show. Sajad shares his journey to becoming a doctor, how he became disenfranchised with conventional medicine and how this led to him discovering his passion for functional medicine, and how he now helps people live longer, healthier lives by preventing the diseases of aging.

In This Episode: If our life on earth is measured in time, how much is it worth to have more time with your family? Most people go to work every day, they work long hours and they do things they don't really want to do. They stay stuck behind a desk with their boss telling them over and over what they need to do, and they exchange their time for money. But would you rather sit at a desk all day and have people controlling you, or would you rather invest in real estate, own businesses, spend more time with your family, and have your assets provide your ideal standard of living? That's what this week's guest is here to discuss further because this is exactly what inspired him to learn more about infinite banking and investing. Jim is joined this week by Jake Kosko. For those who haven't heard Jake before, he's an experienced investor who has been doing infinite banking for a while, and because he didn't have many influenced paradigms or ingrained beliefs cemented in like so many of us have, he was able to grasp the concept of infinite banking pretty quickly. He bought real estate, bought into a business, and funded two policies, and has made incredible returns in just one year. And the most important point to mention: he is just 13 years old. Jake is wasting no time going down the wrong path like so many people older than him, and he is already growing his infinite banking system and financial freedom plan. He recalls what life was like when his Dad had a job versus what their family life is like now that he is more financially independent, and the difference this has made to his life and his family. Jake shares when he was first introduced to infinite banking, why you are never too young or old to start investing in real estate or learning infinite banking, his advice for anybody looking to get into it, and how he learned to understand the importance of buying assets that provide for you for the rest of your life.

Life happens, and people are facing adversity all day every day. It just so happens that the host of Breakaway Wealth faced adversity recently in an event that everybody knows about. A little over a week ago, Hurricane Ian made landfall just a couple of miles from Jim's house and nobody heard from him for 48 hours or so. They were fighting through over 150mph winds and storm surges, and Jim was left with no power or water. Experiencing the hurricane first-hand, there are a few things he would have done differently had he known what he does now, and he's sharing his experience and takeaways from this event this week. In the face of adversity, there aren't any easy decisions or solutions. The first plausible step is to simply take action. It is OK to grieve. It is OK to be sad about what you have experienced. But regardless of the experience, what really matters is your attitude. It is always liberating to take ownership of your situation, and whatever that adversity is, it is possible to not let it win, to not let it beat you. Persistency is key, and you need to be bigger, step up – not down – and come out of the adversity on the other side. And that's what Jim and Nick are diving deeper into in this episode. In this episode, Jim and Nick talk about adversity, crisis, and what to do when you are faced with either of these in your own life. In Jim's case, a hurricane hit and damaged people's homes, and people lost their lives. He shares how he handled it, his advice for what to do in a crisis, and some lessons on the different stages of a crisis and how to put them to work in your own life. Find out the importance of vision and the role it plays in handling adversity, and some strategies for handling adversity from Fortune 500 executive Deborah Smith Pegues. All thoughts and prayers here at Breakaway Wealth go out to everyone who has been affected by Hurricane Ian. - Connect with Jim Oliver: Facebook: CreateTailwind & Jim Oliver Website: https://createtailwind.com/ YouTube: CreateTailwind LinkedIn: Jim Oliver Join the Community: https://community.createtailwind.com/ RSVP for the next community Q&A HERE: https://community.createtailwind.com/events Resources Mentioned: Deborah Smith Pegues: Home - Deborah Smith Pegues (confrontingissues.com) Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win by Jocko Willink: https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-Jocko-Willink/dp/1250183863

There is a lot going on in the world right now, and it is easy to blame a lack of progress on external factors. The timing isn't right, or interest rates are too high or there are no opportunities. But there are always opportunities, you just need to change your perception and stop making excuses. If you can't visualize your future, you can't have it. But creating a vision and pursuing it instead of giving up on it can have immeasurable gains. This week, Jim and Nick are talking about the unbelievable power of the mind. Whether you think the world is bad, prices are too high, or any other obstacle you have put in your narrative, remember that everything is overcomeable. As Viktor Frankl once said, you have to find optimism in tragedy. Maintain optimism, even in the worst tragedy and you will succeed. The key to happiness is progress, and if you are not making progress, you are declining. If you don't feel like you are making progress because you can't find deals or believe there are no opportunities, don't miss this week's episode. Jim shares why you are always ready to take the next step and the one thing you have to remember when it comes to creating a vision. Learn the difference between living in the gap and the gain, how to measure progress based on where you came from, and why there are always opportunities, you just need to open your mind to them. Now is the time to draw up your 2023 vision. There are around 12 weeks left of 2022, what are you going to do with them? - Connect with Jim Oliver: Facebook: CreateTailwind & Jim Oliver Website: https://createtailwind.com/ YouTube: CreateTailwind LinkedIn: Jim Oliver Join the Community: https://community.createtailwind.com/ RSVP for the next community Q&A HERE: https://community.createtailwind.com/events Books Mentioned: Man's Search For Meaning: The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust by Viktor E Frankl: https://www.amazon.com/Mans-Search-Meaning-classic-Holocaust/dp/1844132390 The 12 Week Year Field Guide: Get More Done In 12 Weeks Than Others Do In 12 Months by Brian P.

Michelle Kimbro is a nursing executive turned investment entrepreneur here to teach us how to reduce your taxable income by investing in carbon capture and storage technology using accelerated depreciation. Michelle literally drills down into cash-on-cash ways of doing this, using innovative new offshore drilling and carbon capture technology that incentivizes tax breaks through accelerated depreciation. Michelle's patented mobile carbon capture technology contracts with Exxon and their technology sits atop the pipeline and simultaneously absorbs and cleans the CO2 emissions to EPA standards. That is then re-injected back into the same well site for what is called 'enhanced oil recovery'. This saves Exxon a lot of money to sequester the CO2 (as they'd ordinarily have to haul it off to a processing plant and then sell to a secondary market). This closed service is far more lucrative. Michelle's company raises capital for the equipment and revenue shares with Exxon on the additional barrels of oil that come out of the well site. The kicker is that they can leverage a portion of the tax code favorable to oil and gas – and leverage bonus depreciation in year one for their investors. This is the last year where bonus depreciation is set at 100% (next year, it goes to 80%, with a 20% reduction until it's phased out). A $100K investment, for example, would yield a 2X return ($200K), factoring in bonus depreciation. If you're paying 40% on tax, you can reduce your taxable income by $80K. This is huge for someone living in a high-income state. Plus, it cash flows. If you average the annual rate of return over seven years, it's between 25 - 26%. As Jim says, "Wow, where else are you going to get that?" This investment is for someone looking for a tax play to reduce their taxable income – as well as being something that cash flows. And, with an additional 80 000 IRS agents looking into the real estate market, this investment seems even more appealing. This offering is a 506C offering for accredited investors only. - Connect with Jim Oliver: Facebook: CreateTailwind & Jim Oliver Website: https://createtailwind.com/ YouTube: CreateTailwind LinkedIn: Jim Oliver Join the Community: https://community.createtailwind.com/ RSVP for the next community Q&A HERE: https://community.createtailwind.com/events Connect with Michelle Kimbro: Email: [email protected] Website: emprinvestor.com

In This Episode: Building and housing are not going to cause the looming recession, they are going to help get us out of it. Knowledge is power, and understanding how the system works means you can maximize it. As real estate investors, one way to do this is through cost segregation. Whenever you buy a property, every single component inside it will be depreciated. Cost segregation is simply the process that accelerates this depreciation. It works on new and existing properties, you can do it anytime, and this week's guest is here to explain it clearly and show you how he makes it as easy on your CPA as possible. Boomer Philbrick helps people save money on taxes as well as gives them financial freedom and more immediate cash flow. He has been working in the real estate industry for 6 years and serves people by teaching them how to retain more of their money. He joins Jim on the show this week to talk more about cost segregation, what it is and what the process entails, and how you could benefit from it. There are so many benefits of buying real estate and depreciation is one of them. It is a return on real estate that so many people ignore, but cost segregation allows you to have more money right now, to either buy another property, fix it up, or pay off debt. Listen in this week to learn more about why this is a great way to save taxes and get more cash flow right now, how the process works when you buy a property, and a good way to wrap your head around it. Boomer shares four questions he asks clients when they buy a property, some common misconceptions about cost segregation, how Donald Trump took advantage of this tax law to save money, and how you can do the same. If you don't know anything about cost segregation, you don't want to miss this episode.

In This Episode: Here is something you already know: money has to flow or it dies. It needs to be constantly working for you and to do so, it needs to be constantly moving. Why let your money die when it could be making a return for you? This is exactly what this week's guest helps people do. We are switching things up a little on the podcast this week, as Harper Jones is replacing Jim as host, and he's catching up with Will Coleman from Urban Gate Capital. Urban Gate Capital raises capital from investors and lends it out to people looking to buy property. They provide an average of between 3-6 month loans and over the last two years, have lent out just over $18 million to their clients. Will joins Harper to walk you through their business model, talk more about the fund they have recently launched for investors, and share more about how Urban Capital could keep your money moving for you. You'll hear more about the short-term hard money lending industry, the advantages and benefits of lending, and some of the opportunities available within the industry. Investors know that they need to keep their money moving and that capital sitting in their accounts is not an option. Urban Capital's newly created fund is a fantastic way for investors to keep their capital working for them and their business model now enables them to fund even more people; it's a win-win for all involved. If you're wondering what to do with your capital and thinking about buying a project versus potentially lending to get some exposure, you need to listen to this episode. Harper and Will talk about the current market, the importance of educating yourself on what's going on in the industry, and some ways to make your capital work for you, and Will shares his advice for anybody interested in lending.

In This Episode: When people read Becoming Your Own Banker by R. Nelson Nash, they get to the equipment financing example and they don't understand it. They read it two to three times and then take the Becoming Your Own Banker course inside the CreateTailwind community, and then it sinks in. They think it's the answer for them and that they have everything figured out. But this week, Jim and Nick Kosko are taking a different approach to this topic, and while they are still explaining it as the book intends it to be explained, they are putting the Breakaway Wealth CreateTailwind spin on it. Picture this. Nick and Jim buy the exact same brand new F150 pickup truck. Same options, same sticker price, same color, same everything. Nick drives the truck hard and doesn't worry about the maintenance schedule, he drives it like nobody's business. How many miles will he get out of the truck? Now, Jim takes the exact same truck that he bought, he changes the oil every 3000 miles, uses the best oil and fuel from the best gas station, has it inspected regularly to make sure it's running right, and takes good care of it. How long will the truck last for Jim? Wondering how an example about buying a brand new F150 pickup truck relates to infinite banking? It all becomes clear in this week's episode. When we look at an insurance contract, we should look at it the same way as this equipment financing example. In this episode, Jim and Nick explore this example further to explain why, and show you what you really need to be focusing on in your life insurance policies. Hear the unique spin that Jim and Nick are putting on this topic and how it differs from the way most Infinite Banking practitioners teach it, learn how to get money to stop flowing away from you and start flowing back to you, and find out why, when you really look at infinite banking and life insurance policies, you actually want to pay the base premiums. Don't forget, if you want to see all the ins and outs of this equipment financing example from the book, the course inside the CreateTailwind community can help.
