Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! If we don’t pull it together soon, or cull out the stupid ones, women are going to start showing us what life insurance is really for. I swear not a week goes by that I don’t have a conversation with a husband in which they...

I just did a quick gut check on my blogging efforts over the past year. Who really cares about what I believe and what I know about life insurance? Who reads this and really believes that I can do what I claim? I have had more than just a little interest in weblogs...

During this time of year when the focus should be all about family, fun and the joy of having survived another one (year that is), there looms an annual health challenge that can ruin all the plans and hopes of the season. The Christmas/New Year’s season is also...

I follow Adam Aircraft with particular interest because their planes are built not too far from here in Colorado and also because George Adam is a life insurance client of mine from a time when we (Bill Fanning from the Pilot Insurance Center assisted me)Â had to...
