In this week's episode I highlight the greatest lesson and habit I gained from the pandemic.  Work from home flexibility allowed for more time spent with family and less reliant on child care.  Quality time spent with kids in the form of picking them up from the bus or coaching their  sports team is the best reward from a flexible schedule.  I also encourage listeners to consider "interactive entertainment" such as playing sports or being creative with the people around you, rather than simply watching TV or other passive forms of entertainment.

My guest is Eric Geier, President of Puresurance.  We talk about the good and bad of the "typical" American health insurance policy and why people can get confused and frustrated with their policies.  Eric walks through how his company offers an alternative model that starts with underwritten policies that require health screenings, much like life insurances policies.  We trade stories and tactics to keep costs low, no matter what kind of policy you have.  Eric, then, gives options on the life insurance side and explains some of the differences between term, whole, and universal coverage.  As always, make sure you understand any investment decision before making a final decision.

In this episode, I talk about how my family pivoted our travel plans during COVID and focused more on domestic travel.  Specifically, we were able to enjoy Yellowstone National Park, the Smokey Mountains and Maui, HI in place of cruises and international destinations.  We were so happy with all of these trips and absolutely encourage folks to consider these destinations in your travel plans, especially while restrictions are still in place.
