In this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder and Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with Heath Goldman, President of IconWealth, for a conversation on how insurance planning is evolving in today’s chaotic world.
From Heath’s unexpected pivot from law school to wealth planning, to decades spent helping ultra-successful families rethink liquidity, legacy, and risk, he shares why traditional portfolio management simply isn’t enough anymore.
As they continue their discussion, Heath and David explore the resurgence of life insurance as a planning strategy rather than a product, with a deep dive into how Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) is reshaping tax deferral and wealth transfer. The conversation also hits on one of the most groundbreaking shifts in the planning world—particularly in South Dakota—where forward-thinking rules allow PPLI policies to hold crypto and other non-traditional assets, offering both tax efficiency and powerful asset protection. It’s a strategy more families are exploring as conversations move beyond traditional planning.
