Now there’s a calming thought. You’re still alive, traumatized from head to toe from a car to moose gathering on the highways of Maine and you’ve made it to the hospital. The doctor and nurse start working and you relax as you know that you are with...

It’s been a long time since I addressed the topic of the beating that professionals, from physicians to attorneys to CEO’s take on life insurance if they have ever even been suspected of having a mood disorder. The way life insurance underwriting jumps all...

I can tell you without hesitating that I wouldn’t be in the life insurance business if I was just churning out easy business and that isn’t to say I couldn’t make good money doing it. It is the challenges of working with underwriters to find a way to...
