Asset-Based Finance:
A Day in the Life

Connecting our World

In this animated video, we explore a “Day in the Life” of the average person through the lens of Asset-Based Finance (ABF). Nearly everything you encounter—from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep—is connected to ABF.

 Most people may not know the name for it, but the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is a hallmark of our lives. Everyone has had the feeling that once someone mentions a place, person, or trend, you can’t help but see it everywhere. It’s a Frequency Illusion, but with ABF, it’s not an illusion; it’s the connective tissue of the modern ways of living. Follow us on this journey.
