    Family Banking: The Wealth Strategy of Family Offices

    In this episode of Wealth Strategy Deep Dives, Dave Wolcott is joined by MC Laubscher for a powerful conversation on why true wealth is built through intentional structure, not just investments. MC explains how financial freedom unlocks the ability to dream bigger, help others, and build lasting impact—connecting the three pillars that society struggles with most: health, family, and money. The discussion highlights a major shift happening today: many people have stopped dreaming, and rebuilding that vision begins with creating stability across these foundational areas. MC dives deep into one of the most important strategies used by the ultra-wealthy: family banking. Listeners learn how family offices operate differently—thinking 100+ years ahead, prioritizing builders over breakers, and creating private systems that keep wealth inside the family. The episode breaks down how infinite banking works through properly structured whole life insurance policies, allowing families to borrow against growing, tax-advantaged capital to fund investments, businesses, and opportunities without relying on traditional banks. The key takeaway: the wealthy don't view life insurance as a death benefit—they view it as an asset class, a cornerstone of generational wealth, liquidity, and long-term control.

    The Hidden Psychology Behind Wealth Creation

    In this episode of Wealth Strategy Secrets of the Ultra-Wealthy, Dave Wolcott dives into one of the most overlooked drivers of financial success: your money story. Dave explains why wealth creation isn't determined by how hard you work, how smart you are, or even what product or service you offer—but by the emotions, beliefs, and subconscious patterns you attach to money. These deeply rooted narratives shape how much you believe you're worth, how comfortable you are charging for value, and whether you operate from scarcity or abundance. Dave introduces the concept of five money personalities, helping listeners recognize how their own relationship with money may be influencing their financial outcomes. Drawing from real-world experiences and mindset research, he highlights how understanding your emotional connection to money allows you to take control of earning, spending, saving, and investing decisions. When you shift your money story, you unlock the ability to grow wealth intentionally—starting with small, consistent mindset changes that compound over time.
