He went over the main benefits like terminal illness, disability, critical illness, Alzheimer’s, and income replacement. Marcus explained that bundling all these benefits into one policy is way cheaper than buying them separately. Plus, he mentioned that life insurance can grow tax-free if you overfund the account, which makes it a great option for saving for retirement. He wrapped up by encouraging everyone to take charge of their financial future and use life insurance to protect loved ones and grow wealth while you’re still around. Finally, Gary Michels, a distinguished life insurance professional with over 42 years of experience, introduced his company, Southwestern Legacy.

Gary emphasized his hands-on approach to leadership, ensuring that his agents receive the mentorship and support needed to succeed. His agency, affiliated with Integrity Marketing, is one of the largest and fastest-growing insurance agencies in the U.S. He highlighted the agency’s competitive commission structure, which starts at 80% and can increase up to 145% depending on the agent’s production. Gary also shared the incredible success of agents within his team, such as Andrew Taylor, whose team generated $18 million in revenue in just one month.
