Written Notes

Black Lives Matter. This episode is a heavy topic but very necessary. Mykail discusses the 2020 Protests against police brutality. She also talks about a very sensitive topic: Life Insurance. There are many ways people can access term life insurance policies and with the advancements in tech companies to provide access to non-invasive life insurance.

Major Take-Aways:

Black Lives matter every day
Capitalism that thrive off of poor Black people are trash
Get life insurance outside of your company
