On the pod today is an old officemate turned entrepreneur, Mr. Mark Siggaoat

Mark is the owner of Nelmann's Nipa Huts in San Vicente, Port Barton, Palawan.

Like many of us, he started out as an employee, having a 9 to 5, but was able to actually transition out of that and open his dream business in Palawan, Marrying the 2 things he loves  most -- Being at the beach and having his own business.

Listen in as I ask him about how he was able to launch his business off the ground in an island that was just voted the most beautiful island in the world!

I was recently invited to speak at a national business opportunity program or a (BOP) for Philam Life, so we can show recruits and would be financial advisors what it's like being an insurance entrepreneur.

In this BOP, I asked to share about how I transitioned from being an employee and now having my own insurance business (among others)

I have the recording of the session, and while we had 3 speakers that day, I am only sharing the portion which I conducted, as I was not able to secure the permission of the other speakers.

So if you anyone is wondering what it's like being in this type of work/business, then please do listen in!

Working as a Seaman is an exciting job! You get to travel and see the world and earn a good salary at the same time. However, with all these perks comes a lot of responsibilities.

In this episode, I am joined by Mr. Siegmund Go, a former cruise ship employee, where he shares his experiences working in the kitchen of a cruise ship. From 16 hour work shifts, to experiencing a category 2 hurricane at sea, and managing money as a 25 year old.

This is an episode for ALL aspiring Seamen as well as current  crew members.  1

In this episode, I take a break from the 50 questions about life insurance series, to talk about some lessons I learned about money during my 20's.

I talk about setting your own goals and not having to live up to goals other people have for you. I also talk about handling debt, especially credit cards, And I talk about forming good habits in-terms of savings so that when you reach my age, you would know how to meet your financial  obligations better. 

Thank you and happy listening! 

In the second part of the series of 50 Questions About Life Insurance, I invited and old colleague from the banking industry, who like me, transitioned to insurance last year. She is currently an advisor of PRU LIFE UK, where they specialize in Variable Life Insurance plans. Welcome to the podcast, Ms. Jenky Fame! Thank you for sharing your inputs and educating us more on VUL products.

We start our 5 part series called "50 Questions About Life Insurance"!

Tobie and Greg are multiple time MDRT qualifiers and have achieved a lot on in the insurance industry, and are therefore very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of life insurance products. Join us as we answer the first batch of questions.
