Determining the right amount of insurance is crucial. Your most valuable asset is yourself and your income. Life insurance should fit into a broader financial plan. There are two main types of life insurance: term and permanent. Universal life insurance offers flexibility but has growing costs. Whole life insurance provides guarantees and stability. Policy dividends can enhance whole life policies but are not guaranteed. Understanding the terms of your policy is essential for long-term planning. Consulting with a financial professional is vital for making informed decisions.

In this captivating episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee reflects on the upcoming challenge of addressing a unique audience at a fifth-grade graduation. This introspective journey into crafting a memorable speech for young minds leads Baylor to explore universal life themes—principles of success—which apply across different domains of life. His insightful examination offers listeners valuable lessons on leveraging existing strengths to enhance various areas of their lives. The episode delves into the interconnectedness of life disciplines, suggesting that the same dedication driving financial stability can be harnessed for personal health and relationships. Baylor encourages listeners to identify and translate their successful habits from one life domain to others. By fostering disciplines such as goal-setting and consistency, he argues, one can achieve holistic success. Additionally, Baylor emphasizes the value of simplicity in understanding and teaching core competencies, aligning with the concept that profound understanding allows for comprehensive yet straightforward explanations. Key Takeaways: Interconnected Success: Understand that the same discipline applied in one successful area of your life can translate to others. Simplicity is Key: If an idea or process can be sketched simply, like on a napkin, it's often more effective and easily understood. Lifecycle Learning: Engage in continuous learning by teaching and learning from people both younger and older than you. Embrace Expertise: Everyone has a unique skill set or strength; identifying and articulating it can boost confidence and direction. Universal Principles: Success principles are often universal and applicable across different areas of life; leverage what works for you. Notable Quotes: "The themes of life are universal, whatever works in one area will work in others." "You should be able to explain your craft to a kindergartener if you truly understand it." "Learn from someone older and teach someone younger—this is the complete circle of life." "You're closer to hitting your goals than you think if you'll just acknowledge the connectivity in your life." "The best way to assert expertise is to simplify and explain it to someone who hasn't understood it yet."

When we first started talking about estate planning with life insurance, it was because we saw a massive disconnect in how families were thinking about their wealth. Not just the numbers. But the purpose behind it. https://www.youtube.com/live/sqVXY199ygQ Bruce and I were in the middle of one of our deeper conversations—talking through how most people think life insurance is just a “check the box” kind of thing. They get the policy, set up a will or trust, and assume their family is covered. But what they haven't thought through is how that money will be used. What it's meant to fund. What kind of mindset or framework their children need to carry it forward well. Bruce said it best in the episode: “You've got a bunch of people out there who are trying to do the right thing—but they're buying the wrong tool for the job. Or they're leaving out the whole reason they got it in the first place: to provide for their family in a way that actually works.” And that's what this article is about. This isn't just about life insurance. It's about using the right kind of policy inside an estate plan that's built for generations, not just legal compliance. It's about creating a strategy that protects your wealth and prepares your children. It's about designing a legacy—on purpose.

Estate planning with life insurance is one of the most overlooked but powerful ways to ensure your family is protected, your assets are preserved, and your values are carried forward with intention. It's not just about paying estate taxes or transferring wealth efficiently. Done right, it gives your heirs time, options, and guidance. It replaces financial panic with peace of mind. And it makes sure that what you've built doesn't just last—it multiplies. If you have real estate, a business, investments, or a vision for generational wealth, this is a conversation you cannot afford to postpone. Why Estate Planning with Life Insurance Creates Immediate Liquidity Here's what most people don't realize: When you pass away, even if your estate is “in order,” your heirs may be stuck needing to pay estate taxes within nine months. If your wealth is tied up in real estate, private equity, or business holdings, your family might be forced to sell those assets at a loss—just to pay the bill. That's where life insurance for estate taxes becomes mission-critical. With a guaranteed death benefit, whole life insurance creates instant liquidity—giving your family the cash they need to cover expenses, hold onto appreciated assets, and stay out of financial distress. In the episode, Bruce shared, “The beauty of this strategy is that it gives you certainty. And certainty is a gift—especially when the world is reeling from loss.” This is what makes estate planning with life insurance such a foundational part of a healthy, functional legacy plan. Whole Life Insurance vs. Universal Life: Why Guarantees Matter Not all life insurance is built to withstand the test of time. Bruce and I have reviewed countless policies that looked good on paper—but were designed with the wrong product. Universal Life policies may seem attractive because of ...

Often when Reiki teachers use the term "universal life force" it may give the impression of a higher power or god or source in some religious context. Reiki is not religious, nor does it need any religious belief to practice. It is more like the flow of energy you receive from walking in the forest or by the seaside. htpps://www.reiki-centre.com

The regulators don't force insurance companies to provide in-force illustrations to their Universal Life policy holders and it allows them to deceive consumers who aren't prepared to do the math required to know the truth. Insurance companies make Bernie Madoff look like a petty thief. Don't fall for it! But before we get into it… […] The post Get an in-force illustration whenever you buy a Universal Life insurance policy! appeared first on Sara Grillo.

Let's bust some myths and let the record be set straight. The five myths we talk about in this episode are: 1. You borrow your money, 2. Premium is post-tax, 3. You collect the interest on loans, 4. You can use Universal Life products for IBC, and 5. You don't have to repay loans. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com 

Universal Life insurance is quite possibly the most misunderstood and misrepresented product on the market. They're tough to understand and can be even more challenging to explain to a prospect. This podcast will help you understand the difference in (hopefully) easy-to-understand terms. That said, please don't start presenting these if you're a new agent. Focus instead on simple products that you can understand and explain. If you do sell these, please make sure you're doing it right so there are no surprises.

What Is Energy Healing? Energy healing is a complementary therapeutic approach that has roots in ancient and traditional medicine. Scientific research is currently ongoing to determine how useful these therapies are, but evidence suggests that certain forms of energy healing and practices (reiki and dowsing energy healing) may reduce and help with pain, depression, anxiety, and support overall well-being. Energy healing is a complementary approach based on that our bodies have energy flowing through them, and that healing can come from helping to balance this flow.  It is about restoring energy balance, which in turn brings about purported health benefits. Energy healing can be done at a distance, via remotely or in-person. Energy healing encompasses a variety of techniques believed to clear blockages in the energy field that contribute to imbalance in a person's life. Energy healing works on the principle that our physical body and life experiences are informed by the energies that exist in our energy field, and any imbalances or blocks in our energy field can contribute to emotional challenges, physical pain or illness, limiting life patterns, and other unwanted conditions in a person's life. There are many modalities, I do Reiki energy healing and Dowsing Energy Healing. Each is about becoming a clear channel to anchor universal life force energy. You don't use your own energy. It is about being able to be a clear channel and being able to hold space to anchor Universal Life force energy. Reiki & Dowsing both respect free will. So you call to you what you want for your highest good. One of the goals for energy sessions to improve the flow and balance of energy to promote relaxation and healing.  #energyhealing #healing #energy #meditation #reiki #dowsingenergyhealing #love #spirituality#spiritualawakening #chakras #selflove #lightworker #spiritual #reikihealing #selfcare #yoga #mindfulness #chakrahealing #energyhealer #positivevibes #energywork #awakening #lawofattraction #wellness #energyiseverything #chakra #goodvibes #selfhealer #inspiringyou #selfheal #inspiring

Ever wondered why certain companies champion whole life insurance while others lean heavily towards universal life? Dive into this enlightening episode of the Insurance Pro Blog Podcast as we unravel the mysteries behind these two popular life insurance products. You'll discover the unique benefits and drawbacks of each, the historical context that shaped their evolution, and the strategic reasons companies might choose one over the other. By the end, you'll have a clearer understanding of which policy might be right for you and why companies are so passionate about their preferred choice.  _______________________ As you'll often hear us say, we're agnostic to the solution: whole life insurance is great and so is indexed universal life insurance. We offer our clients either of the two and let them decide what they think is best for their situation. Sometimes one is the clear winner; other times there's a bit more nuance. Either way, we're here to help you make the best decision. Please reach out to us by using our contact form, just click right here. 

What is the premise of the Morphic Resonance Theory? The lower laws of nature are more like habits. Meaning, each species has a type of collective memory, the collective unconscious so to speak, not just a memory of behavior like instinct, but also a form. For example, when a cabbage grows, it's tapping into a collective cabbage memory, a memory of form. This understanding in general isn't a new concept. However, what Dr. Sheldrake's theory also suggests is there's a resonance between similar self-organizing systems across space and time.  Morphic resonance is a holistic theory. It works through morphic fields rather than in granulated atomistic bits—in other words, in-form-motion rather than simply information, which extends from a memory source that exists in a morphic field, a form of energy, outside the brain. “Memory is a phenomenon in time, not in space, and I think that the whole of the past is potentially present everywhere and that we access it through resonance on the basis of similarity.” According to French philosopher Henri Bergson, memories are not stored in brains and involve a direct transfer across time.  Morphogenetic fields reverberate and exchange information within a universal life force. Do you ever feel someone staring at you only to turn around to find there is? How do your pets know you're on your way home? A mother's intuition is another example of the energetic exchange of information. What patterns and information are you sending?

We're answering these questions from you, the listener, in this episode: What are some pros and cons of Indexed Universal Life Insurance? How do I know if I've saved enough if I'm nearing retirement and don't want to change my lifestyle? What's your opinion on annuities and how do they fit into a retirement plan?

Rarely, if ever, do we get to hear from someone internal to a life insurance company. Clay shares some great insights on why a company may not like a 10/90 policy and how that can affect the company.

If you're like me, Universal Life is an enigma wrapped up in a conundrum. I spent a year or so before I was brave enough to write my first UL policy. I was intimidated by them. Term and Whole seemed fairly simple to understand, but UL? It scared me. Admittedly, Universal Life policies are more complicated and can be confusing to understand, let alone to explain to a client. Hopefully, this helps. I'm not suggesting you go out and start writing a bunch of UL policies this week, but at least it's good to understand how they work so you can speak to them if a client should ask. Hopefully, this podcast will give you a better understanding of one of the more confusing products we write. If you like this, you may enjoy my book. To protect your family, contact us.

Guest Speaker: Natalie Cooper (Levinson Agent) - I come from a long line of insurance agents including my father, his brother, and many of their 1st cousins. I grew up learning from Clement Stone, the founder of Combined Insurance Company of America who my dad and the rest of our insurance family worked for. W. Clement Stone is now a highly recognized motivational inspiration for many in the insurance industry. I recall being gathered around the dinner table and the whole family reciting his famous words—“I feel happy! I feel healthy! I feel terrific!” and always having “PMA”—Positive Mental Attitude. Actually, it was, and still is my father who is my role model. After recently celebrating his 80th birthday and reflecting on all I have learned from him, I can honestly say that it was my parents who gave me my core sense of integrity and ethics that still guide me through life and my career. I grew up in Columbus Ohio and graduated with a BS in accounting with a double major in finance from Franklin University in 1990. A few years later in 1995, after moving to South Florida, I became a licensed insurance agent. The original intent was to work with my father in the tax-deferred annuity and life insurance business and move back to Ohio. Shortly after I became licensed, I realized my home at that time, would remain in south Florida. I began my career working with retiree groups including the City of New York, their unions, and other large employers like Sears and AT&T who offered retiree benefits. This was when I was first introduced to the senior market. I found real satisfaction in dealing with seniors and knowing that I may have been one of the few agents they worked with that put their best interest first. The laws pertaining to marketing to seniors were nearly non-existent and at that time and so many of my clients had been lied to, sold something they didn't need, or strong-armed into a policy they could not afford. The feeling of truly helping a person get what they needed, putting some money back into their pocket, and working with someone they felt they could trust was a great feeling. After spending about 7 years working exclusively with seniors and specializing in Long Term Care, Annuities, Medicare, and Final Expense, I branched out to two other areas to accommodate my client's children that were asking me to help. Their kids were a natural progression and I began my entree into Term Life and Disability insurance. The insurance business has been such a rewarding experience for me. I know that I have truly changed people's lives. This is where I'll be for the remainder of my working years and I'll hopefully pass the baton to another person who can enjoy what they do as much as I have.
