All right guys, you can take a break. I already know how most of you feel about life insurance. If it’s free you’ll take some but if it gets into your beer or bass boat money, well, a guy has to have his priorities, right? Ladies, in general men have two...

I am 56 and I can tell you honestly that 3 years ago I had never read a blog, didn’t know what it was or what it was for. I just knew that for my business to grow, for us to reach more and more people blocked out of life insurance for the same old reasons by the...

Each day brings another reason to be more impressed by just how stupid the majority of men are. If you’re a guy and don’t want to hear this, let your wife read it. Women get this stuff. I just talked to an agent friend of mine who worked with a client last...
