    From the September/October issue of Finseca Focus magazine, Chau Lai tells the story of one of the worst phone calls she has ever received, which led to one of the most deeply meaningful professional successes she has ever experienced. Chau Lai had been friends with Wayne Lyn, one of her first clients, for over a decade. One night, Wayne's wife Kristine called to tell Chau that Wayne had died the night before from a heart attack at age 37. As the devastating news set in, Chau thought of the meeting she had had with the Lyns just months earlier. With Wayne's dental practice thriving and the couple now the parents of two young children, Chau had helped the Lyns update their financial plan, persuading them to prioritize life insurance for Wayne as he was the family's sole earner. It was a decision with lifelong effects.

    From the July/August issue of Finseca Focus magazine, Karen Diaz reflects on the incredible journey of her family and the life-changing impact of the guidance she received from a trusted financial security advisor, which empowered Karen and her family when they needed it most. Karen Diaz and her husband, Les, had just adopted their nine-month-old daughter when Les was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Just 18 months later, Les passed away. Today, Karen looks back 10 years to that difficult time and discusses with Finseca Focus magazine senior editor, Danielle Wong-Moores, one of the factors that helped to sustain her: the guidance she received from her financial advisor, Marshall Gifford of Northstar Financial, who ensured Karen Diaz and her daughter would remain financially secure for their journey ahead.
