Season 3 Kickoff: Peak 65, Living Benefits & Why Insurance Isn’t Boring Anymore!
Hey Wealth Warriors! Season 3 opens with a myth-busting deep dive into the insurance industry - and the massive opportunity hiding in plain sight.
Your Gen X host Hawley Woods Gray and millennial co-host Alexandra “Allie” Ramo unpack the “Peak 65” moment (12,000 boomers turning 65 every day), why nearly 40% of today’s financial professionals are set to retire, and how that creates career pathways not just in sales—but in claims, product, underwriting, service, tech, marketing, leadership, and more. We get real about living benefits (it’s not “death insurance” anymore), residual income and flexibility for family life, and the human side of this work—like Hawley’s client stories (Chanel’s life-changing living-benefits claim and Lynn’s pension review that made retirement possible).
Plus: how the industry modernized post-pandemic (e-apps, virtual meetings), why women are in demand, and the fun stuff no one talks about (company trips, team culture, friendly competitions).
If you’ve ever thought “insurance sounds boring,” this episode might flip that script.
