Podcasts about refunds

Most people who buy life insurance never read the fine print. They're promised “stock market–like returns without the risk,” a retirement account that doubles as a tax-free loan machine, and peace of mind for their families. On paper? It looks like the perfect product. But what happens when the math doesn't add up, the illustrations don't match reality, and families find out, years later, that the policy they've been funding is set to collapse? That's the dark underbelly of the Indexed Universal Life (IUL) industry. And it's exactly what my guest, Jonathan, aka the IUL Exposer, has dedicated his career to uncovering. He's reviewed over 4,000 policies in just 18 months, uncovered systemic mis-selling, and even built a process that has helped families claw back over a million dollars in refunds. Jonathan isn't anti-insurance. He's anti–false promises. His work shines a light on how commissions drive product design, why regulators are warning against IULs, and how clients are left holding the bag when agents disappear. This episode isn't about theory, it's about hard numbers, legal battles, and the uncomfortable truths most of the industry hopes you never learn. Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Illustrations are a trap IUL projects steady growth that rarely happens. Why do clients still trust the numbers? -Commissions drive the product IULs are sold 10-to-1 over whole life because they pay the fattest commissions. What does that reveal about whose interests are really being served? -Refunds are possible Families often think their money is gone forever. How are some clawing back tens of thousands in refunds? -Indexes aren't what they seem Synthetic “uncapped” indexes promise market-like returns but rarely deliver. How are clients set up for disappointment from day one?   Guest Bio Jonathan Aguilera is the voice behind @lifeinsurancerefunds on TikTok and Instagram, a platform dedicated to exposing misleading life insurance practices, breaking down complex policies, and helping families recover money they thought was lost. Licensed since 2012, Jonathan once built a national agency of 250+ licensed agents with Primerica. But when faced with the choice to “stay quiet to stay compliant” or speak up for what's right, he chose the latter. He resigned, surrendered his securities licenses, and walked away from everything he'd built to launch DTRT Financial, not just a company, but a movement. Jonathan isn't the suit-and-tie advisor chasing commissions. He's the guy who got fed up watching families get misled, overcharged, and under-informed. Through thousands of policy reviews, he's exposed the harsh realities of cash value life insurance while educating the masses on how to make intentional financial choices.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has been a whirlwind of activity these past few days, dominating headlines and social feeds with both professional highs and personal intrigue. Most notably, she was slated to perform at Washington DC's Nationals Park as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and to kick off WorldPride DC 2025, but the concert was canceled last-minute due to complications stemming from structural issues at her previous Boston show. Nationals Park announced that her full tour production simply could not be transported to DC on time, leaving thousands of fans disappointed and prompting heartfelt apologies from Shakira herself, who shared her heartbreak on social media while promising to return as soon as possible. Refunds were promptly issued, yet the absence of such a high-profile event made waves across music news—an unfortunate snag in her otherwise triumphant tour, which has been praised for its ambitious setlist, elaborate visuals, and 13 dazzling costume changes, all masterminded by Shakira and a team of 145 people according to USA Today.Despite these setbacks, the star is surging forward: she's confirmed as a headliner for the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park on September 27, sharing the bill with The Weeknd. The festival, hosted by Hugh Jackman, champions major global causes—protecting the Amazon, scaling renewable energy in Africa, and advancing children's literacy—and Shakira's involvement underlines her ongoing commitment to philanthropy and social impact, bringing her activism to an audience of millions.On the personal front, speculation ran rampant as reports from outlets like as.com suggested Shakira has rekindled her romance with Antonio de la Rúa, the Argentine lawyer and her former partner. Allegedly, the two reconnected through professional collaborations and now share a close bond, even involving Shakira's children in family affairs. While rumors swirl about them cohabiting and a possible public reveal in Argentina, neither has confirmed this publicly, so the story remains in the realm of informed gossip.Shakira's recent performance in Mexico City electrified fans when she invited Mexican singer Belinda onstage for a moving duet of “Día de enero,” marking her record-breaking twelfth show at Estadio GNP Seguros—a new industry standard for female artists in the venue. Social media exploded after Shakira posted images from a beachside promotional shoot in Mexico: her metallic bikini photos drew over a million likes and even praise from Salma Hayek, reinforcing her status as a pop culture phenomenon.Adding to the social chatter, footballer Sergio Ramos teased a possible musical collaboration with Shakira in a recent interview, which would cleverly riff on her past relationship with Gerard Piqué. While that's tongue-in-cheek for now, the playful buzz proves Shakira's knack for staying topical and relevant.Looking ahead, anticipation is building for her scheduled shows in Atlanta and Puebla, Mexico, and even a 2026 world tour teased by fan sites. Business-wise, her net worth remains astronomical, with income streams from music, touring, brand partnerships, and catalog sales, as covered by Forbes and Billboard. Collectively, these developments—headline festival bookings, tour drama, viral moments, and tantalizing romantic rumors—underscore Shakira's enduring biographical significance and her ability to command attention on all fronts, blending artistry, activism, and intrigue with effortless style.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

This is a special episode explaining in detail the new changes coming up for OTR, if you want them. We are implementing a community forum and a quarterly blog for all in Real Plus. This is being done for three reasons. First to develop a community around healing from any Mental health condition and thriving. I think it's important as we grow together to achieve Mental Health for Real. Secondly, to get direct input through a community forum and suggestion box that will make the show what the listener wants. And lastly to grow the show so we can increase our reach and implement better quality sound with just a little revenue. This will put us in a position to reach more people and book any guest we feel will help us. To do this I am implementing a Premium Package as part of Real Plus. The premium Package will have everything in basic Real Plus but so much more as described below and detailed in this short episode. Real Plus Premium – Subscribed AccessUnlock exclusive content, including early access to episodes Annotated Transcripts – not just what we said, but why it mattered.The “Unpolished” Feed – outtakes, false starts, and the moments we almost cut. Produced twice a year Monthly Dispatch – one email, no marketing, just what we're building, breaking, and rethinking Verified/co-authored Badge – not for clout, just a quiet nod that you are co-authors Suggestion Box (with Teeth) – you pitch it, we respond. If it's good, we build it. If it's off, we say why Yearly Dividend – 5% of total earnings redistributed equally to listeners at year-end - So, this gives the advantage to the early subscribers, since the price will never go up no matter what extras we put in. So, if we raise the price over the years your actual value back rises from 5 percent and there is no cap. If the show some how goes viral, you will make more money than you pay for subscription. Potentially much more. . Refunds for dividends -If canceled mid-year, refund begins at end of the month -Refund is prorated based on the yearly rate - Any payment method is eligible -Credit card, Zelle, or other agreed-upon methodCancel Button will be clear and on the first screen. 2 click cancelI am thinking about a co-host for the 2026 season. I will keep you informed.Also, you may have noticed the logo has been changed in Facebook, Instagram and X. The Logo will officially change everywhere on November 1, 2025. Hopefully along with Real Plus. Which changes everything.The implementation of Real plus depends on you. I will have a post on Facebook, Instagram, and X. Please indicate your interest in the program tiers. Please "Like" the post, if you're in for implementing Real Plus on November 1, Please "Love" or other than like the post, if you're in for the Premium Package in Real Plus.Or send an email to Overtherainbowbob@gmail.com with the subject "Like" or "Love" and please indicate if you want to receive status updates of the project if we have 5 likes for Real Plus and/or 5 "Loves" for the Premium Package one or both It will be implemented For November 1 sign up and benefits.So the future of OTR is up to you. If we don't implement; I may offer the program at a later date.OTR sites:Real Plus: (coming soon)Podcast Website: https://bobadleman.wixsite.com/otrmentalhealthMail:

The Consumer Goods and Services Ombud this week announced consumer complaint statistics for the 2024/25 financial year. In the latest report the ombud facilitated refunds or replacements to consumers to the value of R11.9 million. According to the CGSO , the annual report aims to reflect on what the CGSO has achieved but also why their work matters. The theme this year is accessibility. CGSO has found that many of the most vulnerable consumers in poor and rural communities remain unaware of their rights or uncertain on how to enforce them. For more we are now joined on the line by Consumer Goods and Services Ombud Chief Executive Officer ,Queen Munyai

This business with the supermarkets and their pricing... Consumer NZ has launched a petition. They want change to stop prices being incorrectly labelled. So you go to checkout and scan receipts, something's different to what you expected. Then we would get a refund on the product, and the product for free. The idea is that if you make the punishment more than fit the crime, they'll stop doing it. Which I get. But the supermarkets reckon —and Consumer NZ calls this spin— that there's just too many products and they honestly make mistakes. More often than not the prices are out by a few cents - so $5.99 instead $5.95. The key question here is whether we think the supermarkets are doing this on purpose, or whether they're just large organisation that occasionally get small things wrong. And correct the errors when spotted. Refunds where necessary. If we're saying they are deliberately doing this, that's a whole other thing. I'm not saying the supermarkets should be given a Hall Pass here, but if we're talking about a few million dollars a year spread over a population of five million, plus the free products on top of refunds they'd have to fund... You've got to ask if the potential payoff is worth the cost of pushing a policy like this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you have items that you've purchased that you really need to return to store? You changed your mind, the item doesn't fit, you purchased too many, or simply the wrong colour!? And be honest, how long have you been procrastinating returning those items? I see it all the time - clients have clothes, toys, household items that they've bought (usually online) and they need to return them for whatever reason, but instead of doing the admin of the return, they sit in boxes and bags in our loungerooms, spare rooms and studies.I've recently experienced this with left over supplies from our renovation. We finished the reno and then I gathered all the things that we had over purchased, or not needed ready to return. But it's such a hard task to get excited about. you've got to find the receipt, put everything back in the car, then when you get to the shop you have to get everything out, explain etc and go through the process.But... please hear me - IT'S WORTH IT!!Your returns and refunds are a tab open in your brain, the stuff you're waiting to return is clutter in your house.ACCC Warranties and Refunds Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Today we look at an old and very true saying: It's not about the money you make, but about the money you KEEP. There's an old joke about a guy who loses money on every sale, but, he says, “I make it up in volume.” We're not talking about back ends or affiliate sales here. Things can go sideways in your business if you're not making enough sales, or your profit margins are too small. Or upside down, like the guy in the joke. But you've got an even a bigger problem even if you're making enough sales and your margins are good—but the sales don't stick. When people decide they don't want what they bought, you've got tons or refunds. Maybe even chargebacks. So here's the thing we're going to focus on today: You only keep the money you make when the customer decides to KEEP what they bought from you. And we'll really dig into how to keep more money by reducing or eliminating refunds and chargebacks. Recap of what we talked about: In Section 1, we talked about why buyer's remorse happens. We learned about the dopamine drop—a chemical crash that happens after the excitement of buying fades. We also saw some surprising stats—42% of Americans regret their purchases, and 74% regret online buys. We explored the reasons behind this regret, from impulse buying to fear of being scammed. In Section 2, we looked at how to use emails to reduce buyer's remorse. We talked about the importance of timing, starting with the “ownership” email within two hours of purchase. We discussed how to use small wins, social proof, and progress markers to keep customers engaged. And we covered the importance of building community by day five. In Section 3, we focused on the words you use after someone buys. We learned how small language changes—like replacing “purchase” with “access”—can shift the focus to value instead of cost. We talked about using implementation language to guide customers toward action. And we explored how ownership language and progress messaging work together to build confidence and satisfaction. When you put all of these strategies together, you create an experience that keeps customers happy and engaged. And that's how you can stop refunds and chargebacks before they even start. Download.

In part one of this two-part episode, Ralph and Lauren are talking about New Customer Acquisition Cost (NCAC). Sure, the mention of math might send some of you running for the hills, but hold on—this is the math that matters. Ralph compares finding your NCAC to searching for buried treasure, while Lauren reminds us that chasing vanity metrics like ROAS alone is as useful as an umbrella in a hurricane.Learn why NCAC is the North Star of scaling a business, how to measure it effectively, and what tools can make the process manageable. Ad platforms love to boast about their results but your bottom line—and how much it costs to add a new customer to it—never lies.As Lauren puts it: “Fake numbers might make you feel good, but they won't pay your bills.”Chapters:00:00:00 – Math That Matters: The Secret Ingredient for Scaling00:00:24 – NCAC: The Metric That's Cooler Than ROAS00:01:42 – Why Calculating NCAC Feels Like Cracking a Cold Case00:02:42 – Scaling Secrets: Unlocking Business Growth with Math00:03:47 – The Real Cost of New Customers (No, It's Not What You Think)00:06:10 – Lifetime Value: Measuring Love from Your Best Customers00:09:28 – Practical Math: When Numbers Lead to Dollars00:12:45 – Refunds, Returns & Regrets: Subtracting the Pain Points00:15:30 – Hidden Costs Unveiled: Shipping, Storage & Surprises00:18:05 – COGS: Decoding Cost of Goods Sold00:20:50 – Gross Profit: The Halfway Mark to True Success00:23:15 – Profit Checkpoint: COGS, Gross Profit, and What They Mean for You00:34:10 – A Special Perk for PT Fans: Wrap-Up & SurpriseLINKS AND RESOURCES:Tier 11Mongoose MediaTier 11 JobsPerpetual TrafficGet Your nCAC Calculation Guide Now!Marketing Performance Indicators™ ChecklistPerpetual Traffic on YouTubeTier 11 on YouTubeBy the NumbersConnect with Lauren on InstagramConnect with Ralph on LinkedInFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterThanks so much for joining us this week.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment, Analytic Dreamz explores the closure of Ubisoft's XDefiant, set to go offline completely on June 2, 2025. We'll discuss the immediate changes like the halt in new registrations, downloads, and in-game purchases. Refunds are on the table for recent buyers, with the Ultimate Founder's Pack purchasers and those who made in-game transactions in the last month getting their money back within eight weeks. Initially launched in May 2024, XDefiant saw a stellar start, hitting 1 million players in just 2.5 hours and averaging 300,000 concurrent players in its first 48 hours, featuring beloved characters from Ubisoft's extensive library. However, the game's player count plummeted, with numbers below 20,000 by August 2024, unable to stand out in a saturated FPS market. We'll delve into Ubisoft's broader challenges, including significant layoffs, the closure of several studios, and a tough year marked by other game flops and ongoing issues. Analytic Dreamz will analyze what this means for Ubisoft and the future of free-to-play shooters amidst industry-wide layoffs and economic pressuresSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
