If you've ever been pitched an IUL with "great returns" and "no downside," this episode is a must-watch before you sign anything.
Universal Life was designed as a "better mousetrap," but history shows a very different outcome. From rising costs of insurance to disappearing guarantees, Mary Jo breaks down why most UL, VUL, and IUL policies eventually collapse—often right when people need them most.
Using Nelson Nash's insights and Todd Langford's Truth Concepts analysis, this episode explains how risk is shifted from the insurance company to you, the policyholder.
