Welcome to The Big Mike Fund Podcast. It’s my pleasure and privilege to welcome back to the show, Chris Miles who is an Infinite Banking expert. Today we’ll be talking about what life insurance is, the trends in the market, different forms of life insurance, and we’ll briefly touch on the stock market and other types of investments. Chris Miles, is the “Cash Flow Expert.” He is a leading authority on how to create cash flow and lasting wealth for thousands of his clients, entrepreneurs, and others internationally. After working as a traditional financial advisor and stock coach for several years, Chris came to a stark realization that the financial advising industry was not showing anyone how to quickly and safely become financially prosperous today. After leaving that industry, he was able to retire when he was 28, and has since worked to teach his effective, unique strategies, for companies like Freedom Fast Track and Garrett Gunderson, and now Money Ripples, while exposing the popular myths around money that have kept so many from enjoying financial freedom and peace of mind.
