About Jodi:

Jodi Silverman is a mom, friend, daughter, wife, avid tennis player, and entrepreneur! Over 12 years ago, she decided what she was doing was no longer fulfilling, and as a result, she said yes to a new biz opportunity. This one decision opened up her world and mind in ways she never expected.

She faced fears and overcame limiting beliefs, and now she supports other moms in doing the same. Her mission is to pay it forward by sharing her successes and helping other women recognize what has been holding them back so they can live their most fulfilled life with passion and purpose.

She does this through speaking to women's groups, interviewing and sharing other women's stories on her digital talk show, In The NestTM with Jodi, and as the Creator and leader of the Moms Who Dare® Membership Community, a unique community for the empty nest mom, combining personal growth, support and experiences all in one place.

Here's what to expect on the podcast:

  • What causes flooding in certain areas?
  • How will you know if the property is a flood-prone area?
  • Things you should consider before buying a house.
  • Why is flood insurance important for homeowners?
  • And much more!

About George:

As a former weatherman and reporter, I've covered countless stories about people who lost everything in natural disasters. Every year, people lose their homes, and many rebuild the exact same way. Most people have no idea if their insurance will actually get them whole again after a major disaster. If they have to evacuate and their house is destroyed, many of the things that were lost can never be replaced. We roll the dice on where we live with no true sense of what the hazards really are. When you watch The Last House Standing, you’ll meet people who are living a nightmare, and it doesn’t have to be this way.

This film is a wake-up call to everyone that we need to take control of our destiny and do whatever we can to protect our homes and lives.

We live in a world where everyone races to be first, but when it comes to your home, you want to be the last house standing.
