Virginia's episode was excellent

As someone who is looking to learn more about how companies provide the best underwriting experience for their customers while minimizing risk, this was a hugely beneficial episode. A+. The rewards incentives are a great way to encourage clients to take a proactive approach towards maintaining their health. Insightful stuff.

Pacific Life gets 3 stars.

I’m sure there are lots of wonderful people that work at Pacific Life. Northwestern Mutual and my policy there has blown anything I could have gotten at Pacific Life out of the water. Publicly traded companies are always going to be second to the mutual and Northwestern Mutual is the premier Mutual. I got a policy there when I was 18 and started working there when I was 29 because I believed in their planning philosophy so much.
