Mike Crawford interview transcript.
Chris Bay:
We’re starting down this road of interviewing our team members at Life Success Legacy so that you, the listeners, can get to know us a little bit, but really part of it is for you to hear the diverse ways that we came to know about life’s Infinite Banking and how we implemented it in our own personal lives. Everybody on our team were clients at one point, and we applied Infinite Banking in our own lives. Then many of us joined Life Success & Legacy because of how it impacted our lives. This podcast is going to be talking with Michael Crawford, one of our team members here. These podcasts are because of Michael; he does a lot of the background technology work. He manages our website, the podcast, and other things for us. Today we’re going to get to hear his story. Michael, give us a sense of where you were in life. When you first learned about the Infinite Banking concept, give us age, family, that kind of stuff.
Michael Crawford:
Sure, I would have been 32 years old. I was working in Baldwin city for a software development company, and I was working a lot of hours and very stressed. It was a good, fun job. I’m very much grateful for it because I’ve learned so much about technology and implementing proper marketing strategies and things of that nature that the time that I spent there was more than valuable.
Chris Bay:
Yeah.
Michael Crawford:
But also at that same time, when I learned about Infinite Banking, my wife was pregnant with our son.
Chris Bay:

We normally dealt with people via email or phone calls or went to their place of business to learn a little bit about them and who they were rather than come to us. One afternoon this gentleman walked in, had a bunch of stuff in his hand, and he goes, I think I need to talk to you, and he pointed right at me, and I thought, do I know this guy from somewhere?
Chris Bay:
Right.
Michael Crawford:
Well, it turns out it was Mike Everett, the founder of Life Success & Legacy. He was in desperate need of a website rebuild.
Chris Bay:
Okay.
Michael Crawford:
So that was my first introduction to Mike Everett.
Chris Bay:
Okay. So, you were introduced to Mike Everett, and then how did it place that you were introduced to Infinite Banking?
Michael Crawford:
Well, you see Mike, didn’t try to sell me on anything at all. In fact, when he sat down, he gave me an overview of the company that he was trying to really take to the next level. He handed me a packet of information between flyers, brochures, handwritten things that were just notes about what he wanted the new website to look like.
Chris Bay:
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Michael Crawford:
And last but definitely not least was Nelson’s book.
Chris Bay:
Oh okay.
Michael Crawford:
And being Mike Everett, if you know him at all or have listened to his podcast, he takes the look at the diving board, the high dive, jumps off, and then determines if there’s water after he’s jumped off.
Chris Bay:
Right.
Michael Crawford:
Same thing occurred with this website. He gave me all this information. He asked how much it would cost. We wrote up a contract; he signed a check that da...
