Peripatetics

Inspired by Aristotle's walking philosophy lectures, Michael takes listeners on a "peripatetic podcast" to unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal finance: what a life insurance company actually is. He argues that mutual life insurance is not primarily about death benefits—it's a financing system that allows individuals to store wealth, leverage capital, and maintain greater control over their money. Along the way, he explores banking, opportunity cost, infinite banking, and why every purchase in life begins with buying money first.
