Just one of the best guys in the industry and a good friend Michael Babikian kicking things off at the First Financial Resources Tax Institute in Dallas. This is going to be a fantastic event. I even hear that Stephan Mitchell is going to be on the stage at some point. I hope there is a story about Watergate.

See you soon, Tax Institute! We're excited to kick things off in Dallas – the speaker lineup this year is incredible. Looking forward to connecting with all of you attending!

Spoke at this private roundtable meeting last night, hosted by FFR & Penn Mutual. I talked about how to use premium financed life insurance as a hedge against risk inside an investment portfolio. I built an algorithm that calculated what percentage of a vlient’x potfolio can be reallocated toward alt investments by doing so. I also talked about ways to communicate with bereaved clients that are grieving a tremendous loss. A special thank you to Charles Santos, CLU (RVP of Penn Mutual), Spencer Aguilar (Marketng Director of FFR), and Michael Babikian (CEO of FFR). #pennmutual #ffr #firstfinancialresources #lionsmarkcapital #darrensugiyama #premiumfinancing #premiumfinancedlifeinsurance #altinvestments
