What is it like to dive to 390ft deep on a shipwreck? Dive into a deep shipwreck dive with Butch. For such a dive, there are roles and responsibilities. Each one is a key component to a successful outcome.
Same thing for a benefits program for the workplace. It is an Employer Sponsored Plan, not a Broker Sponsored Plan. The brokers have a big role in the process, but the employer is the one who lives on to tell the story of the deep shipwreck.
Contact us for a copy of the Roles and Responsiblities Worksheet.

Old habits die hard. Especially for Veterans. Veterans come out of the military with habits that live on forever. They never seem to go away. Some are good, some not so good. For some of us, it also taught us to be outliers.
Listen to Butch's story about when he was nominated as Benefits Broker of the Year in 2014. Butch was one of five in the country. The publication labeled me as an Ex-Navy Seal. Check out this podcast for the details and the outcome of the scrutiny he faced.
Update: Since this podcast's recording, the publication responded to my recent inquiry to fix it. They have removed it from the website once again. Thank you. - Listen in to find out more on this!
