    Get an in-force illustration whenever you buy a Universal Life insurance policy!

    Get an in-force illustration whenever you buy a Universal Life insurance policy!

    The regulators don’t force insurance companies to provide in-force illustrations to their Universal Life policy holders and it allows them to deceive consumers who aren’t prepared to do the math required to know the truth. Insurance companies make Bernie Madoff look like a petty thief. Don’t fall for it! But before we get into it… […]

Good advice, average listening

Sara, I’ve listened to a dozen episodes of your podcast. Excellent job! I respect what you’re doing, which I believe can be summed up as shining a light on what advisors, a backward group, do wrong. I believe in your mission! For entertainment value, you make the most of your ebullience; I applaud it! I love the content; maybe not the delivery. For example, your extremely humorous game show highlights some need for improved editing skills. Why not allow contestants a full minute to answer, then edit out the silence? Next steps take you past blogging and into podcasting.
