I am a Christian, husband to my wife Lauren, father of 4: Jacob, Jesiah, Lanah, & Jorah. I’m a proud American patriot.
I’ve been helping people to “live and leave a lasting legacy” through Infinite Banking for over 10 years.
I’m from a small town in one of the smallest counties of North Carolina. I’ve worked at the Sheriff’s Office, taught at the high school, still attend my childhood church, and married the girl I courted since we were 15. Today, our family likes to hike, hunt, travel (I’m currently at 46 of 50 states so far!), homeschool, garden, speak sarcasm as a second language, work our property, camp out, throw knives/tomahawks, wrestle like we mean it, climb trees, write poems (like true warrior poets), read together as a family *almost every day, train our own dogs, are always playing music, and who knows what’s next!
Growing up, Dad worked in a factory, and Mom was a homemaker. I’m one of 11 children! The only things I learned about money were to work hard for it and to give charitably to our church.
Back in 2015, Lauren and I were in our first year of launching a business in travel after I left a very stable career as a high school Spanish teacher. Our second son had just been born, but behind the scenes, we had credit card debt, student loans, the family car payment, medical bills, etc. That was the year I heard about Infinite Banking and read the book, Becoming Your Own Banker by R. Nelson Nash. It was like seeing the Matrix movie for the first time. It was my “Eureka!” moment, my light bulb coming on. It was our way out! It put us back in control, let us live more independently, and build a legacy. It was a way to actually leave an inheritance to our children’s children. 2015 was what I call my Renaissance year.
We spent some years just building our own private, family banking system to pursue our own personal goals. We shared the concept with friends, family, business partners, etc., from the very start. Some asked me to help them along the way, to share what I knew, answer their questions, and coach them.
There came a time when I wanted to directly teach Infinite Banking, and that meant building a business that would allow me to do that. I got licensed in 2019 with the exclusive intention of helping folks implement Infinite Banking. I launched the Durham Talents podcast and channel in 2020, where there are now over 1,000 videos. I became an Authorized Infinite Banking Practitioner in 2025. I have been helping hard-working, small-town, blue-collar, conservative-minded, free-thinking, family-oriented, America-loving patriots all along the way.
I strongly believe in freedom. I am a learner and a doer. I’m relentless. I persist. I know what it’s like to put my head down and move forward no matter what. I value those characteristics in you too; being courageous enough to never stop getting back up and having a vision for something never done in your family before, but you know you are the one to start it.
If we decide to work together, just know that the pursuit is independence. It’s about you becoming your own banker. I’m here to help empower you, encourage you, share best practices, speed up your learning curve, and work hand in hand. You won’t be reliant upon me; however, when I decide to take on a client, I anticipate working with your grandchildren. I have a long-range approach to this business.
My hope is that you “Live and Leave a Lasting Legacy”.
In Christ,
Jesse W. Durham
