One area of money I see more first responders (and civilians) screw up time and time again?

Estate planning, specifically when it comes to naming beneficiaries.

Have you done a beneficiary audit of your accounts recently?

The results may surprise you....!

➡️Got married

➡️Got divorced

➡️Spouse passed away

➡️Had kids

➡️or any other major life event

Join us as we talk about what happens when things go right, but also what happens when things go horribly wrong.

How did you end up working with first responders, and why did you get in this business?

I get that question a fair amount.

Why do we do what we do, and what keeps us motivated and in the game?

Well, to get those answers you will have to check out our latest podcast.
