A dynamic entrepreneur and founder of Legend Life Financial. Here's a breakdown of the key highlights and insights from the episode:

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Early Entrepreneurship

• By age 22, Brianna owned two clothing stores and a hair salon in Chicago.
• Inspired by her father, a long-time financial services professional, she developed a strong entrepreneurial spirit early on.

  • Whole Life Insurance: Permanent, more expensive, builds cash value slowly.
  • Indexed Universal Life (IUL): Tied to stock market performance with capped gains and protected downside.
  • Universal Life: Flexible premiums, moderate cash value growth.
  • Final Expense Policies: For individuals with health or legal issues, typically lower coverage.

4. Client Advocacy
