Life insurance innovation is just like innovation in every other aspect of our lives. It's a new technology, a new financial weapon system, that's been developed in recent decades. People haven't been able to figure out how to employ it, especially the financial professionals, because it's a “bringing your new toys to an old fight” type of approach. But I believe that in the coming decades this new approach is going to become more and more common because of the way the financial system is going to play out and the amount of true risk involved with people's money―whether it's the risk of a stock market crash, the risk of taxes going up, the risk of getting sued, the risk of losing jobs, or the risk of just plain not having liquid assets in the right places.  Get your copy of the Modern Guide to Military & Veterans Life Insurance Free eBook & Webinar - https://usvetwealth.com/sbp-webinar-lp/ (The BETTER Survivor Benefit Plan Alternative) Connect with https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottrtucker/ (Scott R.

Military service members face a unique problem when transitioning from the military that is seriously underrated and under acknowledged by the systems that are set up to help us transition.

Smith 20:11- The reality of veteran suicide crisis 22:19- The commissioned officer's god turbo transition tool  3 Key Points:  Focus on the big M-Mission, have structure and specific tasks that you should do to have slack and flexibility at the transition date. Setting up a business after retirement doesn't happen overnight. It takes time.  Be aware of civilian life to better relate to the community after retirement. Quotes:  “We all need to be ready to return to society to do great things and not get out there and ask for handouts.” -Jarrod H.Smith  “No matter how much money, resources, time, and effort I put into this, if I can save one veteran's life, then it's a success.”- Jarrod H.Smith  “I believe that it takes 5 years to set yourself up to get this right. If we have a structure, direction, and coach/god holding you to take care of your business throughout the military service then, we can send every active service duty member back to society to be a healthy contributing member.” - Jarrod H.Smith   “Until we can get ourselves right and get right with our identities and who it is that we are as core beings without our rank and uniforms is going to be really, really hard.”- Jarrod H.Smith   “We need to be real about the veteran suicide crisis, and I believe to the very depths of my being that it is a mixture of poor medical use during service that leads to poor health when we leave, and it's a part of not being financially prepared.”- Jarrod H.Smith   “The most important thing a service member can do from a U.S. vet wealth perspective is recognizing today, right now, that they are in a mission to transition out of uniform.”- Jarrod H.Smith FREE! - https://usvetwealth.com/veteran-wealth-secrets-book/ (Get the First 3 Chapters of Veteran Wealth Secrets) Free eBook & Webinar - https://usvetwealth.com/sbp-webinar-lp/ (The BETTER Survivor Benefit Plan Alternative) Connect with https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottrtucker/ (Scott R.

What's the first thing that you think about when you hear the phrase “life insurance?” Especially in regards to the standard American Retirement Life Insurance company. Most people think of death. Why?  Because that's what we think life insurance is about!  When you get a corporate job, https://usvetwealth.com/veterans-life-insurance-death-benefits/ (life insurance is commonly offered as a benefit). This is because the life insurance that comes along with a corporate job is only about your death. The lump sum paid out to a beneficiary is a benefit—for them, not for you. But when you https://usvetwealth.com/life-insurance-innovation/ (insure your own life) as an income-producing asset, much as you protect your other assets like your home or your car against loss, life insurance becomes an asset.  That life insurance is a death-related benefit is just one more of the myths and misconceptions that so many people live by, and that make it so much harder to get their financial lives in order than it ought to be. I am going to talk about life insurance in the context of life. I want to dispel the myth and finally wake people up to the realities of our financial industry so that they can take advantage of this knowledge for themselves.

This week we welcome Scott R. Tucker, founder of US Vet Wealth. Scott is a West Point graduate whose mission is to educate veterans and military members about the philosophy he calls Wealth & Liberty, a modern approach to Military Financial Services. The Wealth & Liberty movement is about creating more abundance and opportunity so that veterans can have the freedom and financial independence to find their life's purpose. So what does that really mean, according to Scott that means "you can keep your eye on the good you can do in future and stop being stuck in the accolades of the past." If you are looking to change the way you manage your money and plan for the future, this is the episode for you. You can also check out Scott's new book Veteran Wealth Secrets, available at usvetwealth.com.

Husband and wife team Scott R. Tucker & Jen Amos have another Friday bonus episode to talk about in-person voting, creating personal autonomy for post-military life, and most of all, educational resources for alternative solutions to the Survivor Benefit Plan.

She had recently moved from San Diego, CA (her home of 20+ years) to now Virginia Beach, VA with her husband and fur baby. Currently, her two main shows collectively have over 15k+ downloads. Jen produces and co-hosts of The Filipino American Woman (TFAW) Project: A Podcast Show that shares stories and life lessons told American women of Filipino descent. Learn more about our show at https://linktr.ee/tfawproject “As a Filipino American woman, I’ve been told to be or do many things: Be American. Be Filipino. Know your history. Speak Filipino. Know your family roots. Don’t ask questions. Visit the Philippines more often. Lighten my skin. Lose weight. Get a stable job. …On and on and on. All of these kind, good intentioned suggestions and not once was I told, ‘Just be who you are. You are enough,’” she says. “With The Filipino American Woman Project, we celebrate the Filipino American women as they already are. Our underlying message is: You are enough, and we want to celebrate you by sharing your story.” - Jen Amos, featured in The San Diego Union Tribune: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/lifestyle/people/sd-me-one-amos-20171020-story.html As a Gold Star Daughter, Veteran Spouse, and Director of Operations for a military family focused financial firm, Jen currently produces and hosts Holding Down the Fort Podcast.

This podcast show is dedicated to making the lives of the active duty military spouse’s life easier by curating knowledge, resources and relevant stories so they can continue to make confident and informed decisions for their family.

Tucker is passionate about showing the veteran and military spouse community how to become leaders in the Cannabis Gold rush. Website https://anchor.fm/veteransincannabiz/ Opinion The music intro with no voice-over was too long. You kind of lost me introducing why the guest was on at the beginning. You got a little to inside baseball talking about groups the audience has no access to. You did a great job with your first question. I've said it before. Anchor.fm is horribleFor a second episode, you are out of the gate. With a little post production to lose some "ums" you are well on your way.

WHAT I DO: I help active-duty military and recent retired veterans plan for healthy transitions to civilian life. Furthermore I also help individuals understand how to manage their financial opportunities as they relate specifically to veterans and military benefits. My deeper purpose, however, is to be a guide for fellow veterans in discovering their own purpose. Together, we clarify and embark on a new mission that leads to financial stability and personal life fulfillment. I do this because I believe that our military service may be complete, but our true service to the world is still ahead of us. HOW I DO IT: I provide one-on-one consulting and coaching, online webinars/training programs, on-site workshops, speaking engagements and create content aimed at helping you discover your true purpose, how to achieve your financial goals, and the steps to achieving all of it.WHY I DO IT: After a number of successes and mistakes, trials and errors, I discovered not only the ins and outs of financial opportunities afforded to veterans, but more importantly my mission to help others discover the same—without all the turbulence I experienced in the process. I want to help as many veterans as possible to get here as well. This is my new life’s mission. MY BACKGROUND: A former military officer, author and award winning entrepreneur, I combine realistic perspective, financial expertise, and life experience to help others prepare financially for the transition back to civilian life.ConnectFree E-bookDave SwansonWebsiteBook Goat Wrestling Perseverance Clothes Free Chapter of my Bestselling Book?
