Author: Think & Act Locally August 24, 2026 Duration: 46:12

Barry Brooksby spent more than 25 years in the financial industry. He started out selling VUL and talking about 12% and 18% returns. His experience eventually took him in a different direction, and today he uses high cash value whole life policies for real estate, business opportunities, and family needs.

What You'll Discover:

  • What changed Barry's approach to financial planning
  • Why guarantees and control became important to him
  • How Barry uses policy loans in real life
  • What it means to be an "honest banker"
  • How he responds to common pushback on IBC
