I see how he does it with the insurance, they donate the commissions from products to charity, but the AUM fee kicked back to the insurance company from CP is not donated. That way they can say they don't take commissions. The idea that they would operate an insurance brokerage for free is absurd. Hope you caught that.

I wonder what Susan Powter is up to these days??? The perfect storm to empower the female investor. "Stop the insanity... of crazy advisor fees!" Oh yes... it's gonna happen.

i love tony robbins. i went to a firewalk in 1985, and it was an amazing spiritual experience. he is worth a half billion dollars today. he has seriously made the world a better place. but Unshakeable is a terrible book, just llke Money Monster. tony knows nothing about finance, health, or diet. he should stick to self awareness.
