A former oil driller quit his high-paying job on November 2nd to pursue infinite banking after discovering the concept three years earlier. He now trains with Ascendant Financial to help others implement the strategy, trading corporate extraction work for what he sees as financial empowerment.

Last day I seen the old patch. At that point there, I decided I'm not going back again. I discovered infinite banking about 3 years before that, and I always knew I wanted to do something bigger, you know, rather than drilling the holes in the ground and making money for the oil company. It was great, provided a great living for me, but it wasn't fulfilling. Once I discovered this, I knew that this is the path that I wanted to go on, but I kept saying maybe next breakup, maybe next breakup, right? And then, uh, that was a catalyst. And then November 2nd, I just never went back, and I jumped right in. I started doing my training with Ascendant Financial, and yeah, now I'm here and I help other people out.
