As the youngest of three in a family of educators from Hartwell, Georgia, he began his career as an underwriter at Travelers Insurance. Corporate life had always been the dream, but he quickly realized he was more drawn to people than paperwork.

Since then, he has helped thousands of families on their path to financial freedom and he has mentored agents across the country.

The Inflation Guy sometimes gets distracted by shiny things. Today, he was distracted by an article sent from a listener, detailing comments from the CFO of Travelers Insurance about the increased reinsurance the company is employing as a hedge against inflation risks to its property and casualty (P&C) businesses. This is an illuminating comment, showing both that (a) insurance costs are going up not just because insured property values are rising, but also because the cost of reinsuring is rising as inflation risks rise; and (b) major insurance companies are still not hedging inflation risk in P&C businesses with inflation hedges but rather through increasing reinsurance coverage. That's inefficient, and the Inflation Guy explains why. Insurance and inflation! What could be more interesting than combining those two exciting topics?   NOTES Article: Inflation on insured values main reason for Travelers extra reinsurance protection, says CFO Blog Post: Inflation Sherpa To Subscribe to Quarterly Inflation Outlook: https://inflationguy.blog/shop/ To Subscribe for free to the blog: https://inflationguy.blog/ Check out the website!: https://www.EnduringInvestments.com/

Want to follow along with us on video? Click here to go to the Youtube version and see the slides! Dr. Alan Weinstein, AKA, "Dr. Al", is one of Reed's mentors and best friends. In addition to that, he has an extensive background in healthcare as well as marketing. Interestingly, it's the marketing side of his background which is why we invited him on the show today! Of the many things that go into health coaching businesses, it's often the business stuff that many coaches are least looking forward to. That is, the average health coach LOVES talking about various dietary approaches, looking at and analyzing labs, as well as guiding people along their journey to new and improved health! However, when it comes to actually attracting those clients they otherwise love to work with, that part can get a bit messy. In comes Dr. Al! During this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, Dr. Al helps us understand the psychology behind why some clients say "Yes", and why others say "No". And, just to be clear, this does NOT MEAN this is an episode on how to sell people expensive health coaching packages that they DIDN'T NEED OR WEREN'T READY FOR. What we are referring to specifically in this episode is how to get people who you KNOW you can help and who you realize would be EXCELLENT for your program to say YES so that both you and the client can win.  Does all this sound good? Then the episode itself will sound even better! Listen now and let us know what you think or ask us questions by reaching out on Instagram @fdntraining.  About Dr. Al: Alan S. Weinstein, D.C. ran a state of the art, waiting list multidisciplinary, multi-physician practice for over twenty five years, combining neurology, radiology, exercise rehabilitation, biochemistry, Chinese medicine, acupuncture and chiropractic. He had so many referrals that he had to refer them to other physicians in his area as he was unable to keep up with the demand for the Wellness care he created.  He was one of the first physicians to achieve three separate certifications in exercise rehabilitation in the United States.  He served on the Quality Assurance Committee of the American Chiropractic Association, where he formulated the Rehabilitation Guidelines from which all other chiropractic physicians had to adhere. He completed the ACA Neurology Diplomat program and was honored as valedictorian of his class.  He has achieved certifications in ADHD and Learning Disabilities, Vertigo, Applied Kinesiology, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, Detoxification, Metabolic Typing and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. His leadership and entrepreneurial spirit paved the way in the managed care arena, where he was a founder and board member of the Managed Care Network.  He was the first chiropractor ever selected to serve as a panel physician for Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Capitol Care.  He was also chosen as a panel physician for Prudential (Prucare) Insurance, Giant Food Stores, Travelers Insurance, A.I.I.A. / P.P.O., Health Care, Focus, and CorVel.   He served as an Independent Medical Examiner for Hartford Insurance, Kemper Insurance, and Mediq Claims Review.  He was accepted as a Life Member in the National Registry of Who's Who in recognition of exemplary service, both to the community and to the profession.  He served on the board of the International College of Applied Kinesiology. He then decided to give up practicing and devote his time to marketing.  He soon wrote, directed, and stared in his own television long form infomercial featuring an exercise device of his own invention.  During this time he worked with Eric Stilson who many of you know for his hugely successful marketing campaigns for HealthRider, Bowflex and the AbDoer. He honed his media skills with Mercury Media and Euro RSG the largest media buyers in the world.  He then went on to work with some of the top innovators in internet marketing today. He began to work with Alex Mandossian one of the most if not the most successful marketer in the world who has generated over $473 million dollars online for himself and his affiliates.  As a result Dr. Weinstein created a 7 figure business helping health-care professionals use podcasts to build their practice.  He then created the first lead generation/ follow-up marketing SYSTEMS for healthcare professionals which he still runs actively today. Currently, Dr. Weinstein specializes in helping his clients understand Brain Based Marketing a neurological approach to building your brand.  Brain based Marketing is well researched and is some of the most successful marketing done today.  His vast marketing experience combined with his knowledge of Brain Based Marketing allows his clients to "Get Above the Noise" of email and Social Media and be guaranteed to reach their audience.

This is a Holy Spirit inspired sermon while at the gym getting my rehab on. Self prescribed rehab because doctors refuse to treat me from a car accident that happened on July 8th without upfront payment and Morgan and Morgan dropped me with no reasoning. So the Father is allowing me to use my degrees in school and my street smarts to provide my own rehab while also serving you through this spiritual health sermon. Be aware that I curse in how I speak when I am upset about a situation so there are some times I throw out the F bomb

In this episode of Get a Load of This podcast, Cameron Pechia is joined by Roger Whitworth. Roger currently holds the position of Sr. Transportation Specialist for Travelers Insurance and he is based in the Hartford Field office. He comes to Travelers with over thirty-five years of experience in the transportation field, specializing in regulated fleets.  He started out loading trucks in his early twenties and gradually progressed up through the ranks until his last position, prior to coming to Travelers, was Director of Training for a national trucking company. He was directly responsible for administering the training program for over 1800 drivers nationwide. Over the course of his career, he has driven tractor-trailers, taught CDL, managed fleets of trucks, served as DOT Compliance/Safety Director, served as a consultant to several large trucking firms, and has conducted numerous accident investigations (including several fatalities). In addition, over the course of his career, he has been the systems administrator of several different Telematics/Vehicle Video systems. He became adept at using the systems to positively influence driver behaviors and decision-making through offering drivers timely feedback, as well as remedial counseling. Roger still holds a valid Class A Commercial Driver's License with the Hazardous Materials Endorsement and he has found this to be very helpful when dealing with drivers. The fact that he can still drive a truck earns him a level of respect with drivers that they do not offer up so easily. Episode Highlights: Roger shares his experience in the transportation and trucking industry, including 30 years of working in trucking before transitioning to insurance. (4:37) Roger discusses his unique perspective on staying connected with his family while on the road and how his blunt approach benefits his work in the trucking industry. (12:35) Roger explains the importance of defending decisions made in hiring and managing drivers, as it can have legal and criminal consequences and the need for documentation and evidence to support a positive defense in case of accidents or lawsuits.  (19:24) Roger discusses the importance of driver safety training, including behavioral expectations, continuing education, remedial actions post-incident, having clear cellphone policies, and utilizing telematics and video technology to monitor and improve driver performance. (22:19) Cameron mentions that it is important for truck drivers to prioritize safety and take proactive measures to protect themselves in case of incidents or accidents. (30:10) Roger explains that it is crucial to consider the driver's character and behavior when entrusting them with your equipment, as human error accounts for the majority of crashes, and the potential consequences of neglecting this aspect. (39:51) Roger discusses the challenges faced by truck drivers including parking issues, delays caused by shippers and receivers, law enforcement hostility, rising costs of diesel, brakes, and tires, difficulty finding good mechanics, and the additional paperwork and documentation required after driving. (52:07) Key Quotes: “I learned that the trucking industry is a very viable profession. And it's an honorable one. And you can do well by your family if you're diligent and well-intentioned and passionate.” - Roger Whitworth “The reality is, with the technology we're mentioning, we also need to be managing and monitoring our drivers' behaviors, as well. So that means either the telematics systems actively engaging with those, or even the vehicle video systems, and then using those as remedial measures to help improve our driver behaviors to meet our written and documented expectations. ” - Roger Whitworth Resources Mentioned: Roger Whitworth LinkedIn Travelers Insurance Cameron Pechia Thomas Comstock Ryan Young Valley Trucking Insurance

Hello Interactors,This week kicks off the fall series on economic geography. My introduction to economics started with a room full of giggling girls. Its founding began by exploring a common moral sympathy, but it has become anything but. This evolution has been relatively fast; occurring throughout the lives of a rural postman pioneer and his pioneering punch card punching son.As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…STUFF ITAs I walked in the door, the girls awkwardly spun around and grinned with a tinge of embarrassment. And then back to their friends as giggles percolated across the room. I tried to play it cool as the teacher welcomed me and led me to a special desk against the wall. She sat down next to me, maybe a little too eager, and helped me to get started.It was 1984 and Claus Oldenburg had recently finished a civic sculpture, Crusoe Umbrella, for what was then called Nollan plaza in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. My friend’s dad, Charles “Chick” Herbert, designed the concrete plaza featuring a shallow pool across from his angular stark white Civic Center. The sculpture is an homage to the umbrella Robinson Crusoe built from sticks and plants. Oldenburg thought the plaza looked like an oasis amidst the high-rise buildings in a state that felt like an island in the middle of a continent that most people only see while flying over on their way to New York or Los Angeles.The neon red animating Travelers Insurance logo atop one of the buildings also served as an inspiration – an umbrella. The curved handle of the base also reminded Oldenburg of a backhoe sometimes seen on the ubiquitous tractors grooming the fields of Iowa. And the long skinny shaft that connected the umbrella to the handle reminded him of the road through downtown Des Moines where he saw High School kids cruise on Saturday nights as they ‘scooped the loop’. I was one of them.Come Monday it was back to school. For the senior art project we got to choose our own medium for our entries into the spring art show. I had Claus on the brain. In addition to large public sculptures, Claus was also known for his oversized stuffed everyday objects. The Des Moines Art Center collection had one; a massive three-way plug made out of blue vinyl that lazily drooped from the ceiling partially stuffed with filler. I decided I was going to do a giant soft sculpture of my own for the spring show. I choose to make a wall mounted hand-cranked pencil sharpener – a staple of every classroom in those days and a farewell homage to my final year in the Norwalk School District.Des Moines was home to more than just insurance companies. It’s still a major center for insurance and financial services. And publishing. If you’ve ever flipped through a magazine in America, it was most likely printed by the Meredith Corporation. Growing up it was also home to the farm equipment manufacturer, Massey Ferguson. Through the 1970s their factory made mostly lawn tractors and snowmobiles, but it was also a center for the company’s legal, financial, and marketing departments. My Dad worked there for twenty five years.You can’t really make a soft sculpture in most art rooms. Their set up for drawing, painting, printing, and ceramics. So during art period, I’d grab my cheap beige muslin fabric from my art locker and walk down the hall by shop class where guys would point at me and laugh as they tinkered with an old clunker locals would donate to the school. I’d proceed through the black double doors, hang a left down a long empty hallway, pause at the door, peek through the relight, and slowly open the door. I’d walk through a class full of giggling girls, sit down to the sewing machine against the wall, and start sewing. The only dude in my four years to ever to set foot in a high school home economics class.THE ORIENT EXPRESSThe word economics in English-speaking worlds was born out of home economics. There are still hangers-on, like ‘economy sized’ goods at big-box stores or ‘economy-sized’ rental cars. Economizing in this context means to be miserly or frugal. That was certainly what I grew up learning. Both of my parents came from humble beginnings.My Mom’s mother is the daughter of German immigrants and her father the son of Irish immigrants. Both farming families had to scrape to get by. My Grandmother survived the Spanish Flu; even after caring for parents who both had it.My Dad was born into the depression in his mother’s bed in 1933. He was the second youngest of twelve. His dad served in both World Wars and was the town postman; he started out delivering mail by horse.They both lived in a small town in southern Iowa called, Orient. They were born into an era and area dominated by a small scale farming economy. There wasn’t a lot of need to think beyond the economics of the household. Having a large family meant that many more hands for labor. The area was settled by farmers with homesteaded land offered by the government. Orient was mostly there to support the local farmers.This small Iowa town was founded in 1882 during the great swell of America’s industrial age. It’s marquee feature and primary reason for existence was a grain elevator in the center of town. It was part of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Also known simply as the Burlington. This company started as the Aurora Branch Railroad and was created by the Illinois state government in 1848. It grew to dominate tracks through western Illinois, southern Iowa, northern Missouri, across Nebraska, and extended its reach far north and west into Montana.Eight years later, in 1900, the American federal government had traded, stolen, or bought enough land and offered incentives to corporations like Burlington to run trains coast to coast. Their tracks divided herds of buffalo, countless Indigenous communities, and were built on the backs of mostly by low-wage Chinese immigrant laborers.In 1882, the year Orient was founded, the U.S. government thanked these people by instituting the Chinese Exclusion Act which banned further Chinese immigration and blocked naturalization. It is what started the so-called Yellow Peril – an anti-Asian sentiment that has resurfaced in recent years in the form of racist hate crime.MORAL UTILITYBy the late 1800s the Western world had been putting theories of division of labor to practice for over one hundred years. It’s what fueled the Industrial Revolution. It all began the same year the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and the publishing of A Wealth of Nations. This highly influential book was written by a Scottish professor of moral philosophy, Adam Smith.He was an awkward and absent minded man who is said to have "had a large nose, bulging eyes, a protruding lower lip, a nervous twitch, and a speech impediment." Smith himself agreed he was no looker saying, "I am a beau in nothing but my books." Despite his speech impediment and awkwardness, he found success lecturing. He began writing and lecturing on economic topics in 1748, but from a moralistic standpoint. He expanded on what he deemed obvious and simple principles of natural liberty. An idea that had been around since the Greeks; and likely the Zoroastrians before that; one of the longest running religions in the world out of Persia that espouses three core principles I think we can all get behind: Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.Natural liberty, or natural law, was a feature in many Enlightenment thinkers of Smith’s era and is ensconced in the U.S. Declaration of Independence – "all men are … endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". His lectures also concerned the increasing opulence in England during this period. It led him to write his first book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments in 1759 that explored “moral sympathy” or what today we might call empathy – the capacity of an individual to express sympathy for other members of society.It was after this that he turned toward more explicitly toward economics and the inclusion, exclusion, and overlap of natural law with manmade legal laws that were beginning to be written by Western societies and nations. He theorized it was the legal power of the state to control labor that brought about wealth, dominance, and control and not the accumulation of silver and gold. It led to An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. A book who’s name has shortened over time to the Wealth of Nations.  That book became his most famous and leads many to call Adam Smith the father of the field of Economics. In it he reveals how the division of labor in scaled up industrial enterprises leads to growth and wealth accumulation. By having teams of specialized skilled workers conducting interdependent tasks, industries could scale production more efficiently and profitably – in large part through slave or low-wage labor.This mechanized view of labor divisions echoed scientific theories and discoveries in biology and physics that would have been swirling around Smith during the Age of Enlightenment. The influence is evident today by looking at the language of economists and business professionals. Money flows through economies; especially when there are waves of prosperity. Economics is a mechanism that uses the gravitational pull of consumers and sellers. Unless, of course, there is friction from far away resources or customers. Markets seek equilibrium. So long as we avoid inflation.Economics can even be described in farming and biological terms. A market can be fertile. Every day on the radio, tv, and social media you hear about the health and growth of the economy. Goods can be in circulation, products can be reproduced; come Black Friday in November consumers will be triggered by herd instincts. In the end, economies are a function of natural selection. Only the fittest companies and strongest governments will survive.By the late 1800s scientists were on a roll. They had discovered an underlying uniting principle of physics that also unified the discipline: all matter in the universe is connected by a unifying force – energy. The burgeoning field of economics, eager to model itself off science and math, sought their own unifying principle and settled on an economizing word – utility.ECON ONE-BY-ONEPrior to the industrial age, the production of goods required the labor of an individual farmer, merchant, blacksmith, baker, carpenter, or cobbler which was harder, slower, and more expensive to scale when demand became greater than supply. To maximize profits, firms had to maximize the utility of their workers. And they did that by creating specialized divisions of labor.But that quaint image of a farmer and merchant, could be recognized in Orient even when I visited my Grandparents as a kid in the 70s and 80s. It had a single tiny grocery store, a hardware store, and assorted repair shops. Nearly everyone in town had a garden and the city was surrounded by fields and farms of corn, beans, hogs, and heifers. And running straight down the heart of town was a railroad.Nestled next to it was a grain elevator five stories high that would get filled with area corn and soybeans waiting for the next train to come to haul it away; a cog in a nationwide industrialized economic machine in the middle of small-town Iowa on an island of a state within a vast continental land mass that stretches from sea to shining sea.The wealth of this nation, in keeping with Smith’s theory, grew from the federal and state laws that, in cooperation and sometimes collusion with private firms, controlled the price of land and labor to build the nation’s largest industries; including the railroads that ran through Orient, the steel used to make the trains, tracks, and railcars that were fueled by what seemed like endless supplies of coal, oil, and gas. Industries also controlled the seed the farmers bought, the fertilizers and pesticides they spread, and the equipment they used to till, plow, plant, and harvest – like Massey Ferguson.My Dad was a Computer Audit Analyst at Massey Ferguson. He exceled in math, majored in it, taught for awhile, got married to my Mom, and then landed a job in 1969 writing COBOL programs for a small financial software firm in Des Moines. He soon moved to Massey Ferguson where he wrote more COBOL on punch cards. He’d bring them home for me to play with and draw on as a small boy. I can still see them stacked under the piano bench in my room on Jackson street that looked out to the elementary school across the street.My Mom and Dad and their Mom and Dad bridged generations of economies. My Grandpa Weed was born in 1889. The Ford Motor company was still a twinkle in Henry Ford’s eye. My Mom and Dad were born in the thirties into Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal Era; when Democrats were the party of protecting people over banks and not the party of protecting banks over people. FDR must be rolling in his grave. He famously quipped, "I took economics courses in college for four years, and everything I was taught was wrong."By the time I was born, my family had entered the ranks of the middle class FDR had imagined. My parents experienced old-fashioned agrarian economies that even Adam Smith would have recognized. They rose with the White educated middle class and settled into the comfortable suburban sprawl of the post World War boom to raise a family. They witnessed the growth of American industries that cranked out planes, trains, automobiles, and rockets. And, yes, Massey Ferguson tractors, snowmobiles, and riding lawnmowers too.But my Dad also bridged the industrial economy and the knowledge economy by becoming one of the first software professionals in 1969 as part of a newly burgeoning high-tech industry. Within my lifetime, the lives of my parents, and of theirs the formal discipline of Economics was born overseas, grew larger in America, and has metastasized into a global economic instrument void of any of the moral foundations its founding father, Adam Smith, envisioned. Where’s the empathy? Where is the capacity of an individual to express sympathy for other members of society?Our world economy has come to resemble the soft sculptures of Claus Oldenburg. A parody of mass production and mass culture that has ballooned to comedic scale and is sagging mournfully from the gravitational pull of its own weight.Maybe what we need is to step away from our classes, march into the void, open a new door, endure the ridicule and laughter, and sit down to sew us a new moral economy that can be stuffed with good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.

In the early 2000s a scandal erupted when it was found that a leading manufacturer of silicone breast implants had not followed regulations and therefore put a significant number of women at risk. As these sub-standard implants leaked and ruptured the number of compensation claims began to flood in. This case looks at the situation where the medical clinic became insolvent and so the claimants went after the insurance company instead. Would they get the damages that they deserved or end up merely with a judgement that was barely worth the paper it was written on? Music from bensound.com

The couple talks about how they met, how they won ten grand and who they've invited to their wedding.

Real-time payments (RTP) have had a bit of trouble catching on in the U.S., but they may finally be turning the corner, with The Clearing House’s Real Time Payments Network, as well as the Federal Reserve’s upcoming service, FedNow. Treasury professionals on the whole tend to take their time when it comes to adopting new technology. Nevertheless, the prospect of paying and settling B2B payments in real-time is enticing, and it seems like it’s only a matter of time before it breaks through in the U.S. In this episode of AFP Conversations, sponsored by Santander, Larry Mills, Vice President and Assistant Treasurer for Travelers Insurance, and Beatriz Saldivar, Director of Treasury and Payments for Axletree Solutions, discuss how treasury organizations are grappling with transitioning from a batch world to a real-time world. For more insights on real-time payments, check out the 2019 AFP Electronic Payments Survey.

Actor Will Ferrell was involved in a severe car accident Thursday, April 12th, at 11:00 pm. According to a police report, a 22-year-old male driver was driving a 2007 Toyota northbound on Interstate 5 in Orange County around 11:00 p.m. The driver was in the second lane while Ferrell, two passengers, and their chauffeur were in the high-occupancy vehicle lane to the driver's left. They were in a 2017 Lincoln.  "For undetermined reasons," the 22-year-old driver veered to the left and the left-front side of his Toyota hit the right rear of Ferrell's vehicle. The hit caused the actor's car to veer left and strike the center of a divider median. Ferrell's car then overturned.  According to the report, he was taken to Mission Hospital for minor injury treatment. Steele and the chauffeur were also hospitalized for minor injuries; however, the female passenger was not wearing any safety equipment and ended up being hospitalized for "major injuries." The driver of the Toyota didn't sustain any injuries.   For decades we have been discussing the use of seatbelts. Statistics show that seatbelts save lives. When used correctly, wearing a seatbelt reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger car occupants by 45% and risk of moderate-to-critical injury by 50%. For those riding in the rear of vans and SUVs during a car crash, rear seatbelts are 73% better at preventing fatalities. A stunning statistic: victims are not properly restrained in more than one-half of all fatal car accidents. In 2016, seatbelt use in passenger vehicles saved an estimated 14,668 lives. Many understand the lifesaving value of the seatbelt - the national use rate is at 90.1 percent - but nearly 27.5 million people still don't buckle up. Having a properly trained security driver does not make the principal immune from accidents such as Ferrell's. No matter how short the trip, ensure all passengers are wearing seatbelts. We suggest reviewing the company policy concerning seatbelts. Here is a link to Travelers Insurance article covering the subject. For more articles and news related to secure transportation, security, and executive protection, go to isdacenter.org or securitydriver.com.

Wedding Insurance is VERY important, but not discussed enough or thought about when planning a wedding. Todd Shasha, a Spokesperson for Travelers Insurance, walks us through the ins and outs of wedding insurance. We talk about what it is, why you need it, how much it costs and some examples highlighting exactly why the investment is worth it. Liability, cancellation, ‘event insurance'...let's dive in! Big Takeaways Many venues require liability insurance. When you sign the contract and pay the deposit, you are essentially renting the venue for a certain amount of hours and the venue is requiring you to hold additional insurance covering the venue itself. In case one of your guests falls and breaks a leg - the insurance YOU hold will cover the guest, the venue won't have to deal with it. The venue's insurance protects them. Your event liability insurance protects YOUR interest, in the event of any lawsuits. Like if your clumsy guest breaks a window at the venue...the venue isn't going to want to use their own insurance to pay for that damage - they'll want you, the renter, to deal with it. And your insurance will help you do that. Travelers bundles it's special event insurance - per customer. You start with their Core Coverage, then you can add liability and liquor liability. Their policies are more comprehensive than simply getting a $150 liability insurance online to satisfy the venue requirement. A Travelers policy would cover property damage for the rentals you use, the linens, etc. The Core package also covers lost deposits. So if you pay a tenting company $5000 for an awesome tent for your reception and they just don't show...the wedding must go on, and that's why you want a wedding planner, but the insurance policy will help you recoup the lost deposit...get your money back. Everything is explained on their website and they have agents that will answer questions and walk you through each step. (We are not sponsored by Travelers, btw.

Basically, we are encouraging all our listeners to consider event insurance for their wedding...lots of options, big price range...but we think if you are spending $20k or more on your wedding...you need insurance.) Weather is covered with these policies...if you need to cancel or postpone the wedding because there is a huge storm, the insurance policy will help you recoup the lost deposits and cancellation fees, so that you can plan for another date. ‘Change of Heart' is not covered under the insurance policies. So weather or an injury may derail your wedding plans and Travelers will help navigate the process of recouping your deposits, but a runaway bride...you're on your own and out the money. Links we referenced https://www.travelers.com/event-insurance - Travelers main site https://www.protectmywedding.com - Travelers Event Insurance Site for online quotes https://www.zola.com - our fave place to register for wedding gifts and our sponsor! *Quotes * “Do you have any episodes cover the $1M liability insurance that some venues require? My understanding is it might be called "event insurance," but Google has led me astray. I looked up event insurance online and the prices range quite a bit, so I was wondering if there are specific search terms to look into (or, if this is a task for a month-of coordinator)? Surprisingly, ‘purchase wedding insurance' is missing from The Knot's timeline/checklist (or maybe I missed it)!” - Susan, our dear listener asking about insurance “Even if nothing goes wrong and you don't end up needing to make claims on your insurance, the couple of weeks of peace of mind that you had right before your wedding, is worth the pitch for my clients.” - Christy “We recommend that you purchase the policy when you start paying your deposits. You want to make sure you have coverage at that point.” - Todd Shasha, insurance agent Get In Touch Let us know if you have any questions you need answered on the show or if you want to share your own wedding planning experiences!

Want to know the $4,434 (at least) mistake you’re probably making when you insure your properties, including your own personal residence? This is the MOST LIKELY THING to damage your real estate investments, and it’s probably not covered by your homeowners insurance. I’ll tell you what it is today. I’m Carole Ellis. This is episode 42.--Can you believe that the MOST LIKELY THING to damage your property is not covered by most homeowners’ insurance policies? Yeah, I guess I can too. But you still need to know how to close up this loophole or you’re very, very likely to be paying through the nose to deal with the damage. Before I reveal the details on this top demolisher of property, though, I want to take a minute to mention something else pretty wild: millennial homebuyers’ expectations about the purchasing process. A recent report from Credit.com and Bank of America, who are constantly trying to recruit more millennials into homebuying, as you might imagine, revealed that the younger generation (that’s 18 to 34 years old, by the way) has some pretty surprising ideas about how they will make their first home purchase. Check out all the details (you need’em if you’re going to sell to these guys) in the news and networking section at www.rei.today.Now, back to preventing major destruction of your properties…According to Travelers Insurance, a certain weather-related problem is present in fully one in every four claims – and most policies don’t cover it! That problem is wind damage, specifically caused in most cases when tree branches or unsecured outdoor items hit the home, lift up roof shingles, or damage windows and doors, said second VP of risk control at Travelers Scott Humphrey. Wind damage actually beats water damage (plumbing and appliance issues), hail, and THEFT, and if you live in a flood plain, a coastal area, a hurricane prone area, or a tornado-prone area, you’re probably not covered. While most insurance companies describe that list of exceptions in this way: “Your policy probably covers it,” in reality, the list of excluded areas is expanding by the day, and it changes every time we have a major weather-related disaster. So you cannot be certain at all that you are covered unless you’ve read every detail of the fine print in your policy.So how much is that uncovered wind damage likely to cost you? According to data provided by HomeAdvisor, the least amount of money homeowners are likely to spend on wind damage is $800, and it frequently gets as high as nearly $12,000! The average amount that a homeowner with wind damage spent on repairing their home last year was $4,434 and remember, odds are good that it wasn’t covered by their insurance. In fact, even if wind damage IS covered in your policy, failure to appropriately prepare for it could get your claim denied! Make sure that you are prepared (and your tenants, if you have rental properties, are prepared as well) for wind damage by doing the following:Checking your door bolts to make sure that doors are secured before a stormMaking sure storm windows, if you have them, are secured and that windows are locked.Securing shuttersRemoving any dead or dangling branches from trees on your propertiesInstalling plywood over windowsChecking your garage to make sure it is secured with vertical bracesReviewing your roof and securing loose shinglesNow, if you fail to do all these things and you sustain wind damage, does that mean your insurance won’t cover it? I couldn’t say for sure (a lot of policies do) but you need to check your own policy and, perhaps even more importantly, the policy on any rentals and rehabs that you own in order to be certain. Particularly when it comes to rehab properties that may be partially open to the elements or have more loose items than most out where the wind could snag them, you must be very sure that your care of the property meets your insurance company’s needs.If you’re feeling a little insecure about your homeowner’s policy now, don’t sweat it! I’ve got the whole list from Travelers in the REI Today Vault so you’ll know exactly what is most likely to tear up your investment properties and your own home and you can review your policy to make sure that your coverage is what you expect and need.

In this episode of #ThisOldMarketing, Joe and Robert inadvertantly themed this rendition the "Content Inc." episode.  After Joe discusses the new platform launch, the boys dig into Mary Meeker's annual trends report.  Guess what?  Your buyers are now millennials.  And there are quite a few opportunities just right for you (yes, you!). After a little discussion of how startups can use content marketing, Robert lays out Google's new "Phantom" update, and why content marketing and native advertising are joined but separate.  Raves include Austin City Limits and Travelers Insurance.  This week's TOM example of the week: Band-Aid.
