Listen Later

Discover how the Three Dimensions of Authentic Wealth can balance your life and fortify your finances. Doug Andrew and his team dive into the LASER Test—blending Liquidity, Safety, and Rate of Return with powerful tax advantages using a properly structured, max-funded Indexed Universal Life (IUL). Learn why going beyond products (the clubs) and focusing on strategies (the swing) leads to abundant, tax-free retirement outcomes.


Uncover how IUL’s zero-percent floor and annual reset protect you from market downturns while compounding growth. Capture your values—and your family’s story—through a Life Sketch that preserves defining moments for generations.


Now that you see the benefits of a diversified, purpose-driven plan, this episode reveals:


- Why the 4% rule falls short and how to replace income tax-free


- How to avoid sequence-of-returns risk at retirement


- When a 1035 exchange can boost efficiency and cash flow


Whether you seek tax advantages, steady income, or a lasting legacy, the LASER Fund framework can transform your future.
