7 Men Who Forever Changed American Banking 

There was once a time when America was a humble Republic.

 A time when there was no alphabet soup of government agencies, no federal taxes to pay, and not even a central bank. 

With regards to the last point, there were two exceptions (1791-1811) and (1816-1836) when America had chartered national banks. However, on both occasions, the banks ended up being shut down.

However, that all changed in the 20th century.

Following the banking panic of 1907, various prominent figures representing America’s top financial institutions came together at Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia in November 1910. 

These figures included:

1) U.S. Senator Nelson W. Aldrich

2) Abraham Piatt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury

3) Frank A. Vanderlip, President of National City Bank of New York

4) Henry P. Davison, Sr., Senior Partner of J.P. Morgan & Co

5) Charles D. Norton, President of J.P. Morgan’s First National Bank of New York

6) Benjamin Strong, Vice President of J.P. Morgan’s Bankers Trust

7) Paul M. Warburg, partner in Kuhn, Loeb, & Co.

Undoubtedly, these were America’s most prominent heavyweights when it came to representing financial interests. 

They used this meeting to iron out the details of a bill for establishing a central bank. 

The goal was to use the panic of 1907 to justify the passage of this central bank bill, known informally as the Aldrich Bill — making reference to Rhode Island Senator Nelson Aldrich. 

However, Aldrich had too much of a pro-banker image, which made his original bill unable to be passed. 

This forced the Jekyll Island cabal to rebrand the bill. It would then be titled the Federal Reserve Act as a way to make it an easy sell for the general public. 

With this clever rebrand, this bill quickly moved through Congress.

On December 23, 1913,  President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law, which established the Federal Reserve System. 

Since that fateful day, the U.S. dollar depreciated by 96%. Plus, politicians now have a large printing press to tap into to finance their fiscal largesse. 

Now, we’re beginning to see the chickens come to the roost with the current not-so transitory inflation raging across the nation.

Without a doubt, tight-knit interest groups are capable of pulling off major economic and political feats that shape the lives of millions of people.

Never underestimate the power of talented people banding together….

That’s why George Gammon. Ken McErloy, and myself combined our talents to set up The Collective Mastermind

Think of it as the ultimate roundtable group for success 

You’ve probably seen several mastermind groups out there.

Most of them aren’t bad. There is a lot of useful information to be found there.

Perhaps you’ll gain a few skills.

Nothing wrong with that.

Some of these mastermind groups may even offer conference events where mastermind members can link up and share ideas.

Nothing wrong with that either.

But when the fateful day of the conference arrives, reality strikes you in the face.

This mastermind event wasn’t what it was billed out to be.

It became apparent that it’s an event where speakers are pitching their latest products….. non-stop.

Sure, some of these products might be useful but they are not unlocking many of the doors of opportunity that have been shut off to you.

You see, the one thing most people like you are lacking is “The Who.” 

By The Who, I’m referring to high level contacts that should be in your Rolodex if you’re serious about taking your game to the next level.

No doubt skills are needed to be successful. But they’re not enough to reach your full potential.

Society has conditioned you to accept the expression, “Knowledge is Power.” 

I respectfully disagree with this maxim. 

Knowledge is handy…but knowledge alone is not power. 

Truth be told…genuine power comes not from what you know… but from who you know. Better yet, who knows YOU.

The Collective Mastermind is a different kettle of fish. 

We’re more than just a mastermind group.

This is a meeting of some of America’s most talented individuals who are striving for financial greatness.

It’s a retreat for the elite entrepreneurs who desire maximizing their Return on Life. 

Celebrities, entrepreneurs, investors, and politicians will all be in attendance at this event. And they’ll be sharing all sorts of business opportunities and projects that you can potentially get involved in.

These are opportunities that 99.9% of other mastermind groups could never dream of offering. 

And you could potentially have access to these game-changing opportunities… but that’s if you qualify for this program.

You see, we’re still taking applications for our upcoming event in Bonita Springs, Florida from February 4-6, 2022. 

At the Collective Mastermind, we’re building the next generation of leaders who will lead the way in carving out opportunities for the freedom-minded. 

What we’re aiming to do is not for the faint of heart.

But if you’ve put in the work and are ready for a new set of challenges, quickly complete your Collective Mastermind application.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to join a high-value network of individuals who will help catapult you to greatness:
