Joining Kyle today and for the next three episodes is Todd Langford, creator of the Truth Concepts. Over this mini series, they will address the misconceptions of whole life insurance starting with commission on life insurance policies. Many people think these policies pay out the highest commission which in fact, they have some of the lowest commissions. This is why it is important to pose life insurance as more of a savings avenue versus an investment. Tune in to part two to hear more misconceptions about life insurance.
