TODAY'S TREASUREA despairing man should have the devotion of his friends, even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty. But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams as the streams that overflow when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow, but that cease to flow in the dry seasons, and in the heat vanish from their channels. Job 6:14-17Send us a comment!Support the show

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Waverly Ann Harris, President and CEO of Friends Life Community, who highlights the Nashville, Tennessee-based nonprofit organization and their efforts and mission "to provide adults with developmental disabilities the opportunities to grow personally, develop socially, and enjoy community as they experience life together." Waverly Ann explains that Friends Life Community was founded in 2008 by four families and a community advocate who were concerned about what would happen to their loved ones with disabilities after high school graduation. She discusses how the organization has evolved and grown to now have its own headquarters located at 4414 Granny White Pike where it serves over 100 individuals annually through programs that help adults with disabilities grow personally and socially while building community connections. Waverly Ann describes Friends Life Community's Weekday Program, which runs Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, with 70% of activities occurring out in the community. The program involves splitting participants into different classes and includes volunteering at over 12 different nonprofits in Nashville, partnerships with YMCA locations, and work experience at Edley's Barbecue, which has become one of their biggest employers and community supporters. She discusses how Friends Life Community's participants, whom they call "friends," actively engage in their community including at Radnor Lake, helping to break down stigmas and barriers. Waverly Ann explains that Edley's has been a good example of inclusive employment, having trained their management team on inclusive employment practices and hiring individuals with disabilities, which creates a positive impact on both employees and customers. The discussion highlights how the dedication and energy of individuals with disabilities inspire and motivate others in the workplace. Their visual and performing arts program, led by registered drama therapist Sarah Edwards, allows participants to discover their voice and tell their own stories through original works that are performed for the community. Waverly Ann discusses how Friends Life Community uses their arts programs as a key vehicle for building confidence and self-advocacy in the community. She explains that staff facilitate original creative work including poetry, songwriting, painting, and performing arts, allowing individuals to tell their own stories and express how they want to be seen. Waverly Ann notes that touring performances at nonprofits and businesses have been particularly successful in breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities to be leaders and storytellers in emotional, shared experiences. Waverly Ann explains that the Friends Treat Truck was launched after the pandemic to maintain community engagement when partnerships were lost during shutdowns. The ice cream truck, now in its sixth season, operates Thursday through Sunday and is hired by companies and nonprofits for events. The Friends staff greet customers with joy, making it a morale-boosting community activity that has become a highlight for regular customers. Waverly Ann discusses how Friends Life Community relies on community support for their programs, emphasizing that supporting adults with disabilities is a lifelong commitment. She highlights various ways companies can support the organization, including monetary sponsorships, donations, hiring the Friends Treat Truck, creating employment opportunities, and conducting facility tours. Waverly Ann discusses her experience with Friends Life Community and how it brings hope by creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and belongs. She highlights the community's ability to break down stereotypes and build connections, emphasizing the collective strength in addressing challenges. Waverly Ann encourages others to learn more about Friends Life Community by visiting their website at friendslife.org or contacting them directly for a tour.

Making friends isn't always easy. Listen to Heather and Jamie discuss social anxiety and being known in this episode of Life in Motion.   Why is making friends so hard? Like, don't we all just want to be known? The desire to be seen, understood, and heard is hardwired in all of us. So why do we cringe at the idea of putting ourselves out there? Let's talk about it.   In this episode, Heather and Jamie lay out 3 challenges for people who are wanting to make friends:    Show up: Commit to showing up to the places you're invited to or stay committed to the class you're taking.  Journal: Take some time to reflect on what is causing you to feel negatively about putting yourself out there. Practice: Saying “hello” to someone or making eye contact with the people around you.   Resources: Disappointment — Message by Ethan Vanse Friendship Coach Article   Read more from In Motion.

The Key Learning Points:1. The importance of making the insurance industry the career choice for young people, by providing realistic insight into a financial services career.2. The misunderstanding amongst young people that a degree is necessary to have a successful career in financial services, and practical advice on how to kickstart a career without a degree.3. How the demographic of the adviser market has stayed relatively stable over the past decade.Today on the Risky Mix Podcast we're joined by the intermediary director from AIG Life, and a lady who is well known in the life and health insurance industry, not only for her successful career but also having shared her personal health story last year. She was awarded Woman of the Year in the intermediary support category last year, at the Women in Protection awards. Welcome the wonderful Vicky Churcher! Vicky starts by talking us through her career journey, leaving school at the age of 15 with few qualifications. Her first role in financial services was as a bank clerk at Lloyds bank and while working there she began to understand about managing money and financial wellbeing. Vicky moved onto the customer enquiries desk and explains that she saw first-hand the impact of debt and vowed never to get into that situation: “That would never happen to me and 35 years on I can honestly say I've always looked after my finances.” A few years on Vicky decided to make the move up north: “I swapped my suit and banking job in the city for wellies and a VW Jetta.” Taking her first role in sales, Vicky was tasked with selling pigloos - igloos for piglets to protect them from the harsh Yorkshire winds. “I loved it and I realised that sales was definitely what I wanted to do!” After accepting that the job offered few progression opportunities, Vicky joined Allergan pharmaceuticals, then moved to Bupa in 1996, where she worked for 16 years and had her three children. Vicky left Bupa in 2001 when the business was acquired by Friends Life and joined Ageas Protect, which at the time was a new company and Vicky saw them as a “good opportunity to create something.” Ageas was acquired by AIG and today Vicky is the intermediary director at AIG life. “It's been a very wiggly career journey, as most are, but I wouldn't have changed any of it given my time again.”The conversation moves on to education and the options available to young people coming out of school. Vicky believes that financial services is still an industry that most people “fall into” because it's not spoken about at school as a career choice. Young people don't really know what the industry offers and what a career might look like. Vicky doesn't think that young people should feel pressured to go to university: “If you don't go to university, it's fine, it's not the end of the world.” Vicky explains that AIG recruits lots of young people straight out of school and the business offers all protection specialists the opportunity to become qualified financial advisers, funding qualifications and study materials over a three to four-year period. The conversation moves onto the adviser market and Vicky explains that it's not really changed in the last decade. We have the same number of financial advisers as we did in 2017, most are male and the average age is mid-50s. Vicky adds that of the 26,000 advisers in the UK, 20% plan to leave the industry or retire in the next 5 years and that by 2030 it's predicted that only 18,000 financial advisers will be working in the industry. Part of this Vicky believes is the perception that buyer behaviour is expected to change, and become more digitally-focused, which is part of the reason that new advisers may not be entering the space but for her, the main issue is that this career option is not being spoken about enough at schools.  

It is an episode which will walk you through our spiritual journeys. We also converse about Covid and relationships and how being spiritual affects relations and life at a huge scale. Also tune in to find your purpose!

Life

Cedric Phillips is joined by his life coach Erika Taylor to discuss his thoughts on Ozark, his trip to Syracuse, what music he's currently listening to, and the two of them try to figure out what cereal mixes best with other cereal.

Aviva faces regulatory changes, such as the 2015 pensions freedom reforms. It has been on the M&A trail, through its takeover of rival Friends Life. And now, it has set its sights on disrupting the Asian life market. It's also been a decent long-term investment since a strategic shift in 2012. Cash generation is up, debt is down, and non-core businesses are gone. Financial services writer Emma Powell spoke to Aviva's head of UK insurance Andy Briggs about the how investors can value life assurance in a diversifying business. Produced by Dominic Toms.

This week I talk to Tony Horn who has some interesting views on the future of the UK Protection market. Price cuts, additional illness conditions and underwriting changes seem to be the only tools in the protection provider’s box. The result is a stagnant market. Tony's view is that distributors should drive future protection growth by building their own propositions. And cutting out the main stream providers where necessary. Do you agree that the future of the protection market lies with distributors? That's all right here in Episode 59 of the Marketing Protection and Finance Podcast. Who is Tony Horn? Tony has 26 years’ experience in the Life Insurance Industry, qualifying as an actuary in 1996, specialising in Investment.
