Author: Think & Act Locally September 15, 2026 Duration: 20:31

What does it really mean to Become Your Own Banker®?

The difference between a bank and a banker may seem small, but it points to an important part of Nelson Nash’s teaching. Becoming your own banker is about learning a role, making financial decisions, establishing your own rules, and having the discipline to follow them.

In this episode, Leigh Barganier and David Stearns explore why that distinction matters, how policy loans fit into the process, and why becoming your own banker is something you continue to learn and practice over time.
