Purpose with Mark Bertrang

Mark Bertrang recalls a story of a trip taken to Winnipeg Canada in 1985. While there, he purchased a set of uncirculated coins from the Royal Canadian Mint, that have never been touched by human hands. What can be learned from this coinage in 2020?

Alexis Probst is a young business leader who began building her own business – "Elite Nutrition", practically right out of college.

How does your faith come into play during the separation many of us are feeling from our job, school, friends, family, faith communities and perhaps even God, during this pandemic? This conversation explores bringing focus to our lives, by focusing on what is greater than ourselves.

David Trapp' s heart simply stopped. He died that very moment. As he laid on a church sanctuary floor, EMTs shocked his heart back from death, as the congregation looked on. As a career insurance expert, Dave discusses life insurance from a brand-new perspective; the viewpoint of his own death. What did he learn?

I first met Joseph Puzzo as he was barely entering his twenties working as an onsite counselor for a Christian summer program assisting those less fortunate in a small rural area of Tennessee. When we began our conversation, I had planned on discussing Joe's recent experience of Covid-19 in his community, I soon realized that his story was so much more. The young man I met during the summer of 2014 had wisdom to share beyond his years, now in 2020.

Each life insurance application has a separate page in which the insurance agent needs to complete or "field underwrite" about the why you are applying for life insurance. What are they saying about you? Mark Bertrang discusses Executive Bonus Arrangements, Key Person Plans, Buy-Sell Provisions, Deferral and Creditor Plans, along with important personal uses of The Life Insurance Asset.

Most people have plenty of questions before they meet with a qualified attorney for the very first time to prepare a will or other estate planning documents. This is not a 'how-too' podcast; but, it's a how-do-I-prepare podcast. How-do-I-prepare to have a thoughtful conversation with a lawyer to draft one of the most important documents of my lifetime; what some would call the last 'love letter' to my family.

How should you prepare to have a Will Discussion with a qualified attorney? What should you consider? What should you know? What should you be asking? How does the Life Insurance Asset play into these plans?

The government's small business Administration, your local bank and credit union focuses on your assets and liabilities when determining your creditworthiness for a loan. Mark Bertrang explains how your whole life insurance policy can plan a crucial role during this process.

How do you determine your financial economic worth? Why is it important? A "rule of thumb" does not work and cheats families out of the dreams and aspirations that were hoped and planned for. During this presentation, Mark Bertrang helps to walk you through the reasoning and arithmetic in helping to determine your own Human Life Value for Life Insurance purposes. These are the similar calculations used in wrongful death lawsuits that an attorney would consider when building a case to go to trial.
