What if your life insurance policy could be your most powerful wealth-building tool and let your money grow in two places at once? 🤯 On this episode of The Audacious Founder, Melissa Manning sits down with financial strategist and asset protection expert Sarry Ibrahim to unpack the misunderstood — yet incredibly powerful — strategy of cash value life insurance and the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC).

Together, we uncover:

• How the wealthy quietly use life insurance to grow tax-free income, invest in real estate, and fund their businesses 💸

• What the MEC limit is and why having multiple policies actually makes sense

• The real tax-free investment vehicles (hint: there are only 3)

• Why it's NOT just about the death benefit — it’s about building wealth now

• How to use tax-free arbitrage to grow wealth over and over again

• The difference between tax preparation and true tax strategy — and why it matters to founders and entrepreneurs

We also challenge outdated financial advice (yep, looking at you, Dave Ramsey 👀) and break down why liquidity + control of your money can outperform “set-it-and-forget-it” retirement plans.

If you’re thinking, “I need to buy a policy tomorrow!” — slow your roll. This is a game of strategy, not sales. Learn the framework, understand how it aligns with your goals, and then make moves.

This episode is a mindset shift for every founder, investor, and financially-curious human who’s ready to rethink what their money can really do. Listen, learn, then lead.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Cash value life insurance offers liquidity, growth, and tax-free income

• You can leverage policies to pay taxes, fund business expenses, and invest

• Avoid becoming a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) by structuring your policy right

• True wealth building is about intentional strategy, not just reducing taxes

• Work with professionals who understand both financial planning + tax optimization
