Black Lives Matter. This episode is a heavy topic but very necessary. Mykail discusses the 2020 Protests against police brutality. She also talks about a very sensitive topic: Life Insurance. There are many ways people can access term life insurance policies and with the advancements in tech companies to provide access to non-invasive life insurance. 
 
Major Take-Aways:
 
Black Lives matter every day Capitalism that thrive off of poor Black people are trash Get life insurance outside of your company
