It is nearly impossible for any person to believe he or she is a failure and move forward at the same time. For those who have been downsized, let go, or bankrupted, the temptation may be to internalize failure. Our hope is that anyone who has suffered setbacks recently will be able to separate life’s unfortunate events from their self-worth. Failure, like death and taxes, will happen. Your response to failure holds the key to your future.

In this Special Edition of the Dream Again Podcast, hosts Brandon Smith and Stephen Resset have the opportunity to visit with Missoula Mayoral Candidate, Jacob Elder.
As a child, Jacob fled a civil war in his native country, Liberia, and settled in Montana. In Montana, life was slower, more prosperous, and a bit colder, but filled with good people, hope, and opportunity. In the wake of graduating high school, he began his freshman year at the University of Montana as a football student-athlete. After two years in college, he knew he wanted to serve the country that had given him so much.
Jacob spent the accompanying four years in the United States Marine Corps. He traveled the world and excelled to the rank of Sergeant of Marines. His time in the Marines brought duty and discipline into his life, and by the time his contract was fulfilled, it left him feeling a call to another kind of service – service to his community.

Once again Glidewell's Magic 8 Ball does have some insight and predictions when it comes to the future of Life Insurance rates. Some might think this is silly. Not so much because we pretend an 8-ball can make predictions…but rather they might say "well of course they'll increase…EVERYTHING becomes more expensive over time." But this is not necessarily true. Many products over time become less expensive…usually electronics…but life insurance also has become LESS, not more, expensive over time. In this weeks episode Brandon and Stephen reveal their prediction and offer three reasons to support their prediction.
Glidewell has an unique perspective when it comes to insurance. One where each insurance decision must be a result of evaluating one's overall insurance portfolio, their financial goals and their own personal level of risk so that they have peace of mind regarding their insurance plan and financial portfolio. Simply put, insurance should be a tool to help people achieve financial freedom.
What is the proper way to handle a rate increase? Should you shop around? Wait it out? Is shopping around a good use of your time? In this episode Brandon and Stephen provide three tips that will help with these common questions. To learn more about the three tips visit www.GiiG/blog
