[00:00:39] Eric (Host): Hello and welcome to Private Banking Strategies with Vlo and Seth Hicks.
[00:00:42] Eric (Host): If you’re just tuning in, these gentlemen have already released a few podcasts. They are really in depth meat and potatoes, the things that they do with the private banking strategy. It’s definitely worth the, listen. There are some complications to this process because that’s what these guys specialize in.
[00:00:57] Eric (Host): I mean, let, let’s face it, they are. Powerhouses in [00:01:00] this area. And so now moving forward, what we’re gonna do is Vance and Seth are going to share a story, uh, a real life client story, a situation that you’ll probably find yourself in. A lot of the things that you’re gonna hear on these podcasts, you’re gonna say, Hey, I relate to that.
[00:01:14] Eric (Host): That’s something that, that sounds like me or my situation. So we’re gonna start this off with kind of the story of where somebody was. How the different steps that they put in place relate to the pillars that they have. And they have seven pillars, and those are explained in some of the previous podcasts.
[00:01:28] Eric (Host): But this is gonna be fantastic. You’re gonna learn a lot, really think about the story that you’re hearing and realize that you’re probably part of this. Vance and Seth, good afternoon. How are you? Good afternoon.
[00:01:38] Vance Lowe: It’s a pleasure to be here.
[00:01:40] Seth Hicks Esq.: Thank you Eric.
[00:01:41] Eric (Host): Seth, thank you for being here. I’m, I’m so glad that you’re gonna, you’re gonna be piggybacking off of what Vance tells us this story, and you’re gonna really break this down for us in bite-size pieces.
[00:01:49] Eric (Host): Vance, what story are we gonna talk about today?
[00:01:52] Vance Lowe: Well, we’re gonna jump in with both feet and talk about a typical family who’s self-employed professional, who fell [00:02:00] on hard times. I’ve gotten permission from the client to narrate his story a little bit so that we too, if we find ourselves or a loved one in some of these same situations, we’ll be able to relate.
[00:02:14] Vance Lowe: This man, his profession was a chiropractor, so we’re gonna call him a Mr. Chiro. Alright. Circumstances evolved to a point where a couple made an appointment with me. They drove up from Houston, five hours to get to my office, and they came in and introduced themselves and they looked like they were worn out and they told their story and my heart went out to ’em.
[00:02:40] Vance Lowe: And I guess it was because they were full of tears many, many times. Evidently this, uh, client, Mr. Cairo was misdiagnosed. With Lyme’s disease. Mm. And in this type of profession, you cannot practice with that on your record. He was misdiagnosed for two solid years [00:03:00] before they found out their mistake. Mm. So think of the spiral that happened to this, uh, couple.
[00:03:06] Vance Lowe: They were in their office. They were on their last effort before they were going to file bankruptcy. They had gone through all of their assets, all of their monies.
[00:03:17] Seth Hicks Esq.: Mm.
[00:03:18] Vance Lowe: And some miracle, uh, they said they had heard about our practice and that what Vance and Seth tells you, you can rely on, they’re gonna tell you the truth.
[00:03:32] Vance Lowe: Mm-hmm. So they were hoping that that was true. They wanted to hear what we had to say. And when I asked him a question, one of the first questions, I said, well, what is it that you want from me? What can I help you with? So they told me they were getting ready to file bankruptcy. They, they were back employed.
[00:03:51] Vance Lowe: And they were making a little bit of a profit, but combined with the monthly payments and the profit, they could [00:04:00] never see themselves clear of the heavy debt that they accumulated. Hmm. So I wanna just jump into the debt a little bit so you understand. There was right at 450 to $500,000 of excess debt.
[00:04:16] Vance Lowe: Wow. This was second mortgages along with mortgages, loans. All kinds of loans from different banks to help them out during this period of time, they had tapped every resource they knew and had borrowed right to the limits and it was back to work, but they couldn’t see themselves out and they didn’t want to be strapped for the rest of their lives.
[00:04:41] Vance Lowe: Under this mountain of debt, the average interest rate was over 16%. Incidentally, this can be seen on a video if you decide, you can actually look at the numbers. I, I’m just going to narrate the story to you folks at this point. As we progressed, I asked them, what’s the first thing you want to do? [00:05:00] And Mom in this case was there.
[00:05:02] Vance Lowe: She just broke down in tears and says, do I have to take. My two sons out of university, they were attending Michigan University at the time, and there was no money to continue to pay, uh, tuitions. So we proceeded, we looked at all of the debt. And we, I asked him, I said, is there any additional resource? And when you look online or at the numbers, we come up with approximately just a little bit over $30,000 a little bit into savings.
[00:05:40] Vance Lowe: That they swore they would never touch some stocks owned by parents. That was willed to them. A little mutual fund, a little bit here, a little bit there. They had a Roth IRA. They didn’t want to touch that because I might have to pay penalties, but they had about $33,000. But how far is that gonna go against a mountain [00:06:00] of debt of mm-hmm.
[00:06:00] Vance Lowe: Almost a half a million dollars at 16%. The other thing I found out was this folks, is that he said, now that I’m back to work. I can afford two office patient visits and the money I make off of two patient visits per day towards this system that I’ve heard about. Mm-hmm. To see if it will help me get out of debt.
[00:06:27] Vance Lowe: And to tell you what that is, folks that was, that equated to $20,000 annually. So if you, you times that by the number of weeks, days that he worked per week and and weeks he worked per year came out right at $20,000. Mm-hmm. So I told them in that scenario, I need to go to work. I need to put the power of banking.
[00:06:52] Vance Lowe: To work for you and show you how soon you’re gonna get outta debt. And I asked them and reiterated, do you think it’s gonna take a lifetime to get [00:07:00] out of debt? And they said, yes. We can’t see our way clear. And I said, well, if I can get you out before that, can we celebrate? What can we do with, uh, the extra money?
[00:07:09] Vance Lowe: And they assured me that they could put it to work. The long and the, the short of the story. As we built a plan together, we introduced a strategy that the banks use every day. We’ll all agree that the banks always get the money back, right? Mm-hmm. They lend it out. It always comes back, or at least, and, and, uh, Seth will back me up here.
[00:07:35] Vance Lowe: I miss the day that they give out free money. BA banks don’t give out free money. They always get the money back. So when you and I do our thing during the day and the month, when do we get the money that we spend back? Well, we don’t. And that’s because we’re not following the same strategy that the banks do.[00:08:00]
[00:08:00] Vance Lowe: So the simple equation is we’re gonna put the bank strategy in this client’s life, and we’re gonna show them how to get money back on their payments and use that money over to compound the payments down so that they can get outta debt one at a time. We usually start a strategy close to the smallest owed debt.
[00:08:23] Vance Lowe: And then work towards the largest. So all along this time, we’re not gonna require the client, Mr. Cairo, to work any differently. He’s not gonna have to work harder. He’s not even gonna have to change his cash flow. What we’re gonna change is who ends up with the money? So at the end of the day when everything is done, every one of us have heard in our lifetime never spend principle.
[00:08:54] Vance Lowe: What is principle you ask? Well, principle is the money you. Earn [00:09:00] after taxes. When you go to work, you earn a new income. That is all principle. Well, the oxymoron is, or the, uh, dilemma and the conflict is, well wait a minute, we have to survive. We have to, you know, pay our way through. We have to pay for our expenses of course.
[00:09:16] Vance Lowe: And naturally we have to spend our principle. Uh, Nelson Nash. Put it this way, folks. It’s not so much what we don’t know about money that’s hurting us. It’s all about what we think we know about money that’s incorrect. That fo is, is a fallacy. Having to spend principle monthly is incorrect. It’s, it’s 180 degrees opposite.
[00:09:46] Eric (Host): Hmm.
[00:09:48] Vance Lowe: How do the banks get the money out? How do they get, how, how do they get it out? How do they get it back? Well, everybody knows where to go and get money. You go to the banks and if you don’t need it, you can have all you want. [00:10:00] If you need money, then they’re gonna make you go through the ringer and probably give you as little as they, they need to.
[00:10:05] Vance Lowe: But the banks have the money. Do they give it away? No, they lend it folks. They lend the money. The system that was taken out of America from, uh, the control of our education system back in the early fifties through the seventies eradicated this strategy out of the average American’s lives before Ban banking, we still did.
[00:10:31] Vance Lowe: Banking only. We used a different concept. We used a a different strategy. That strategy has never been lost. The banks use it on all of their own personal, safe money. Exactly the same way we lay it out for clients, but it’s something that works. Every one of us will agree that the banking industry. It is the most successful industry in the history of the world about accumulating [00:11:00] growth and assets and money the way they manipulate it.
[00:11:04] Vance Lowe: I hope everybody’s learned. The first principle, the first thing we have to do is lend money. Mm-hmm. If we do not lend money, that money has to be worthless to us. We have to agree upon that because that’s exactly it. We have had have agreed that, okay, this money, we’re gonna pay for this and we don’t want it back.
[00:11:27] Vance Lowe: We’re willing to sacrifice our time, our effort, and our talent to have to start over again and go earn a new dollar. If we lend that money to pay that item, then we’re gonna want it back, right? Mm-hmm. So we need to explore now how. This process is set up, how it works and what we do for these clients.
[00:11:52] Vance Lowe: Incidentally, I want to tell you the back end of this client story as we delve into it. This may take us a couple of times [00:12:00] here on different podcasts and to introduce concepts and principles. ’cause if, if we put an elephant in the room or on the plate, you can’t eat it all in one setting. So this concept of being able to set up a system, putting the bank equation back in our lives and being able to lend the money for what we need, you know, the Donald Trumps and the Warren Buffets, they do not spend principle.
[00:12:27] Vance Lowe: They go to the banks and say, Hey, my budget just to survive and pay all my bills is gonna be $250,000. I want you to lend it to me. And the banks do it. How much do you want? Okay, great. They never spend principle. They know how to talk the language. We have to get to some point where we value the money, we put it to work and we get it back.
[00:12:53] Vance Lowe: So we start a lending process. So I think at this point, Seth and [00:13:00] Eric, Seth knows all about, we’ve dissected, uh, what we do all the time. So he’s gonna come back and give us some, some of the points that I’ve laid out. Eric, there might be some individual questions you have on this, but we now wanna explore what we put into place, maybe line item by line item.
[00:13:18] Vance Lowe: How were we able to buy the first debt? Notice I didn’t say pay off. Mm-hmm. I said, bye. Yeah, with that, that’s the layout here. This is on everyday strategy. I hope you are able to maybe see yourself or a loved one that might be faced with something like this, a mountain of debt where they can never see themselves clear.
[00:13:39] Eric (Host): Yeah, I, I, I think that anybody listening to this can definitely pick out some key points in there and say, you know what? That, that’s kind of my situation, or I’ve been close to that situation, or, wow, I wanna hear how this one resolves. So when we come back, it’s gonna be Seth really breaking this down and talking about what strategies are being used and, and how they’re being incorporated into this plan.
[00:13:57] Eric (Host): So you’re gonna wanna stick around for that.[00:14:00]
[00:14:03] Midroll: Do you see yourself in that story? Do you feel like you are generating a lot of revenue but are not moving forward as fast as you would like? Are you ready for help?

[00:14:36] Eric (Host): All right. Welcome back. I, I am so glad you’re still with us. I wanna let you know that as Seth goes through this, and the story that Vance told is, is very true and it’s, it’s something that happened to one of their clients. And all these podcasts are gonna be involving stories of, of success. From their clients.
[00:14:50] Eric (Host): So it’s gonna be something you’re gonna wanna definitely subscribe to and listen to. But there’s an added resource that these gentlemen have added to the, the immense amount of information they’re giving you. They have [00:15:00] created a Loom video. I’m not even very familiar with Loom videos. These guys are technology.
[00:15:04] Eric (Host): They’re, they’re far above me, but they’ve got a Loom video that they’re gonna provide for you. So you can see the numbers, you can see the everything happening on the screen. That’s something that’s extra that they’re gonna give to you. And at the end of the podcast, they’re gonna tell you how to get. To that resource, uh, and receive that for absolutely free.
[00:15:20] Eric (Host): So please stick around for that. Seth, you’re up to bat, my friend. Let’s break this down a little bit. Talk to me about this story.
[00:15:26] Seth Hicks Esq.: Thanks, Eric. Well, what sticks out to me about this family is, is the pain that they were experiencing from the fear of being wiped out financially. Here’s this chiropractor that was misdiagnosed and basically had his tool belt stripped and couldn’t earn money for his family.
[00:15:44] Seth Hicks Esq.: Mm-hmm. After a couple years, they were so heavily in debt into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. They didn’t see that they could ever get out. It was expressed form of slavery to, to financial burden. What Vance started to lay out for them was an absolute [00:16:00] roadmap, step by step of how to climb out of that hole.
[00:16:04] Seth Hicks Esq.: And although they didn’t see that they could do that, and they came in with literal tears, doubt, uncertainty, and and unbelief really in the process or Vance, they decided to take that leap of faith and, and follow the roadmap. And they are an absolute rockstar because. They did that, they actually had the fortitude and the courage to follow the advice and follow the plan step by step.
[00:16:28] Seth Hicks Esq.: And as they did what we call a headwind that forces drag in your financial, uh, prosperity became a tailwind and it lifted them and accelerated them such that they. Never went backwards again. And that’s one of the pillars, the seven pillars of private banking strategies, is that this strategy and, uh, it’s not an investment, but you’re an, you’re investing in a discipline and in a strategy, and you’re putting your money in a place that now gives you lift Yeah.
[00:16:59] Seth Hicks Esq.: Rather [00:17:00] than a headwind. And that lift, uh, accelerates. And as they began to accelerate year upon year, they, they became more. F hopeful, less anxiety ridden. They were on top of their bills. Everybody wants to be with winners, Eric. I mean, we, who wants to be, uh, with losers? I wanna be with winners. Yeah.
[00:17:19] Seth Hicks Esq.: Everybody wants to be with winners. They want to be secure. They want to have the enjoying the life that, that they create for themselves.
[00:17:29] Eric (Host): Well, Seth, Seth, I’ll tell you one of the things that strikes me about this story specifically is that this gentleman was a chiropractor and, and we know scientifically it’s been proven when you carry stress, you carry stress.
[00:17:40] Eric (Host): In your body, right? Your, your joints ache, or your neck aches, or you get headaches because you’ve got this stress. I can’t imagine the amount of stress that they were going through, the lack of sleep. I mean, I’ve, I’ve been in situations where you’ve got worry and concern. You don’t, you don’t sleep well, you don’t eat right.
[00:17:56] Eric (Host): I mean, there’s so many things that it affects and I, I can imagine the place that [00:18:00] they’re at when they came down and sat in your office the very first day, and how that changed over that timeframe.
[00:18:06] Seth Hicks Esq.: Absolutely. I mean, you gotta have compassion for people, especially if you’ve gone through trials and troubles of your own mm-hmm.
[00:18:13] Seth Hicks Esq.: That, uh, have kept you up at night and the stress, like you said, weighing on you like a 400 pound bar. These folks, as they began to get lift, which really didn’t take that long, they saw. These principles in action in the first few months, and they began to catch that lift and that stress le lifts and the anxiety lifts and they began to breathe a little easier.
[00:18:35] Seth Hicks Esq.: They were able to keep their kids in college. They were be, they were able to avoid bankruptcy, which they were on the precipice of filing, and they began to see that light at the end of the tunnel and that they were gonna be, they were gonna be able to make it through this. So that, that’s really where.
[00:18:51] Seth Hicks Esq.: We thrive as everybody. We love to help everybody but these stories where people are, are burdened down and we’re able to, [00:19:00] to step in and get them out of this type of situation. And this type of whole really makes you feel good. They coming from a place of being. Uh, almost losing it all. There was an over-leveraging, and it’s unfortunately, there’s a lot of Americans that overspend.
[00:19:18] Seth Hicks Esq.: That is one of the types of folks that we, we really can’t help if you continually spend more than you make. These people didn’t, they were, they’re not by overspending, they weren’t there from overleveraging necessarily. They were there from a medical misdiagnosis that prevented him from earning what he.
[00:19:35] Seth Hicks Esq.: Been making, but let’s, let’s be real. A a a lot of Americans spend more than they make. They, they accumulate toys and things that they really can’t afford. And that’s just the American way. And if you cannot. Forsake that mindset and step into, uh, another strategy where you actually control the money and the money doesn’t control you, then we can’t help you.
[00:19:59] Seth Hicks Esq.: [00:20:00] But that’s why I said these guys are like rock stars because they actually took the advice, the eight year roadmap that I’m describing, and they put it into work.
[00:20:09] Eric (Host): Yeah. And that was actually my next question. I know that Vance just barely scratched the surface on this story, and we’re gonna get into, um, get in more in depth in the next two podcasts.
[00:20:18] Eric (Host): But the timeframe is what I was wondering about. So you said it’s like an eight year roadmap, correct?
[00:20:23] Seth Hicks Esq.: Yeah. The, the roadmap that Vance puts together for folks is an eight year roadmap, and that that. Can be changed and modified as things change, assets change, liabilities change, incomes change. But that’s where we start with that eight year roadmap.
[00:20:37] Seth Hicks Esq.: And if nothing changes and you don’t have to work any harder or take a second job, you can follow that roadmap right to the end. And. And know exactly where you’re going and where you’re gonna end up in financial freedom and security. I mean, these folks scraped together about 30,000 bucks. That’s all they had to their name?
[00:20:53] Seth Hicks Esq.: Yeah. From friends and family loans and selling used things on Craigslist and you know that, [00:21:00] that’s not a whole lot, but they went all in. They jumped in the deep end and they, they trusted us to put this to work for them. This is the thing that we’re after with this. It’s a new. Uh, form of banking to most that they’re unaware of now, but it’s not new in, in our history.
[00:21:15] Seth Hicks Esq.: It’s a 200 year old concept of private banking through whole life insurance, and it’s the contract that we’re after in these situations.
[00:21:24] Eric (Host): Fantastic. Well, guys, do you have any closing thoughts for today’s podcast? Because again, this is a journey that we’re all gonna be going on together. Great information.
[00:21:32] Eric (Host): We’re gonna continue this on the next podcast, but any closing thoughts for today?
[00:21:37] Vance Lowe: Well, as far as I’m concerned, since this is so typical to so many people, what will be surprising is the information we’re going to introduce. Mm-hmm. Remember, Seth has said a couple of times, I said at the beginning, these people scraped together, the remaining little teeny bit of asset that they had.
[00:21:59] Vance Lowe: Yeah. [00:22:00] We want to talk about what is, how to put things. Wake things up versus having things asleep. How to wake investments up, how to, from being asleep. I’m just excited because this is just the opening page here, folks, and, and here’s a typical example. I’m so thankful for the Chio family for allowing us to, to use their numbers as a typical example.
[00:22:27] Eric (Host): Yeah, absolutely. Alright guys, well we promised the audience, uh, that loom video. How do they find that Loom video so they can watch it?
[00:22:35] Seth Hicks Esq.: It’s gonna be a link that’s made available, uh, with the podcast and, and should simply just be a click through link and they’ll get a 30 minute discussion of an analysis and spreadsheets where Vance is taking them through line by line, year by year, debt by debt Wow.
[00:22:52] Seth Hicks Esq.: And asset by asset. Illustrating
[00:22:54] Eric (Host): how this works. Fantastic. All right. That’ll be a link in the show notes. Everybody right in the show notes [00:23:00] on your favorite player, the one you’re listening to this podcast on, go there.
