Infinite Banking Explained: Richard Canfield on Building Generational Wealth

Richard Canfield breaks down infinite banking, family wealth systems, and why mindset—not money—is the foundation of generational wealth.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack sits down with Richard Canfield of CashFollows.com to dive deep into infinite banking, family banking meetings, and how to create true generational wealth that lasts.

Richard shares insights from his latest books—including Don’t Spread the Wealth and Diapers to Dollars—and explains why legacy isn’t just about money, but the knowledge, systems, and mindset we pass down.

Here’s what we cover:

  • The infinite banking concept explained in plain English
  • How to set up family banking meetings that actually work
  • Why most “generational wealth” disappears within 3 generations
  • Real-world client examples of using infinite banking
  • How to leverage dividend-paying whole life insurance as a financial tool
  • Why mindset matters more than policies or advisors
  • Teaching kids and teens about money early through family systems
  • The Kolbe Index and how it helps real estate partners avoid conflict

If you’ve ever been curious about infinite banking—or how to truly build a legacy beyond dollars—this conversation delivers clarity, strategies, and real-world application.
