The Intelligent Borrower Podcast
Manage series 3710159
Changing our mindset and understanding of debt, both personal and for business purposes.
An intelligent borrower is someone who sees debt as a tool, not a lifeline.
They borrow with intention—knowing exactly why they’re taking on debt, how they’ll use it to create value, and when and how it will be repaid.
They understand that debt has a cost beyond the interest rate—it impacts cash flow, decision-making, and even emotional wellbeing. They don’t just qualify for financing; they qualify themselves by stress-testing their own numbers, planning for the worst-case, and making sure the upside is worth the risk.
An intelligent borrower reads the fine print and asks hard questions. They see lenders as partners, not rescuers, and they take responsibility for the commitments they make.
Above all, an intelligent borrower knows that access to debt isn’t the same as readiness for debt. They use it to grow, not to survive.
Let’s re-imagine debt in all areas of our life. Borrow Smarter. Build Stronger.
