And I think that's part of why I've had a very successful insurance career is, you know, I always told my kids when they were young, a salesperson has a successful career if he or she can walk around in the communities that they sell in and help people in and be excited to see people. I never wanted to bump into somebody at the grocery store and have them be like, Walk the other way.

I want to be like, that's my insurance guy. I'd be out with my kids all over the place and people would not remember my name. And they'd be like, you were at my house. You're my insurance guy. I'm like, yeah, I'm your insurance guy. But that was my job was to protect you and protect your legacy. So there's a lot of diversity in products.

That's also why I think if you get in the insurance business, you should be independent. Like you should get multiple carriers. People call me all the time. We sell this one product. What do you think I should do? I'm like, I'd quit. If failing first life was like, you can sell one product, one product only, y'all should quit.

What do you think I should do? I'm like, I'd quit. If failing first life was like, you can sell one product, one product only, y'all should quit.

And then also what happens when you do that is you start selling people that one product. Like they probably could have gotten something else, but you're out there going, I don't make any money if they don't buy this one product for me. All I got is this one product. So one of the things I'm proudest of, you know, the annuity, be able to protect people's retire. That was 2009.

I hadn't sold an annuity. The guy sat me down and said, you need to ask people what they're doing with their safe money. Ask them if they're a saver or an investor. I knocked on a Door knocked this lady's trailer. I opened the door and I got COPD right away because she must smoke like 14 cards of cigarettes a day. Then her husband came with both smoking.

She's got cancer, but she'd had treatments or is in good health. But I'm like, she's not going to get these products because she's smoking. She doesn't have a history of cancer. She has other stuff going on. Yes, you've been cancer-free for a little bit of time, but not long enough for me to really take care of you. And I'm just talking. I just asked the question to the guy.

I just asked the question to the guy.

I said, what do you all do with your safe money? She said, what does that mean? I said, money you have that you don't want to lose. She goes, I have money in the market. I lose it all the time. My 401k is killing me. So I'm like, how much you on your 401k? I'm assuming Gary, she's going to say eight grand, 12 grand, 20 grand, 30 grand. She said just over a million dollars. And I'm like, what?

And I'm like, what?

She's like, I worked at JCPenney since I was 18 and they matched me. And I was like, how much have you lost the last quarter? She told me it was obnoxious. I wrote her an annuity for a million bucks. Her husband won for 300 grand. I'd never written one before. And every year they would call me like they didn't lose any money. They didn't lose.

Because again, anything we've gone through economically, when COVID hit, I wasn't worried about my clients that had an IE well or nobody losing any money. Matter of fact, the thing I used to say to them was, I'm not licensed to lose you any money. I have an insurance license. I'm not a securities guy. I don't even have the ability to get you in a product where you can lose money on it.
