It doesn’t surprise me at all that insurance and financial services companies tend to be laggards when it comes to arriving at the tech party.After all, many Insurance people tend to naturally be risk averse (Sorry, nothing personal!)… Despite having a plethora of proponents available to the revamping of technology in the financial services and insurance verticals, carriers still remain slow tech adopters.
You don’t have to follow basketball to know Kevin Durant was leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder. You just have to be a recruiter.
Many people have asked me how I’ve mastered the speed bag. I actually consider myself to be a modest athlete, but my answer is always –start with the
basics. The golden rule of thumb that I was taught with the speed bag is to live and breathe the standard “1-2-3” mantra, striking the bag on “1”, letting the bag hit the back of the board on “2” and letting the bag hit the front of the board on “3”.
We work all year long, put up with crazy bosses, caustic work environments and companies we really want to leave… Well, are we going to do something about it, dang it!?… “Sure, sure… right after summer is over. I worked hard for it, I deserve it, and I won’t let anything (including job hunting) interfere with my enjoying the dog days of summer!”

I remember being asked what I wanted to do with the rest of my life after college graduation. Adulthood appeared to me full of problems such as mortgages, damaged car mufflers and marriage counseling.

It is highly unlikely you will ever see the Tony award winning mega hit, “Hamilton the Musical.” Unless you want to pay 3500$ for a seat that costs 165$ to StubHub, the waiting list is over two years long. It is even more unlikely you will read the Ron Chernov biography the show is based on, because it clocks in at nearly 900 pages, and you fall into a drool-inducing nap when a YouTube selection exceeds two minutes.
Finally, graduation day has arrived. What a relief for the students who no longer have to attend early morning classes or pull all-night study sessions. For the parents, grandparents and others, the last tuition payment has long since been sent (or the student loan payments have yet to begin), and everyone is stress-free once and for all … right? Not so fast. Does he or she have a job? Will the new graduate be moving back home, and for how long?!
What does this catch phrase even mean, you’re probably wondering?!… It is pretty simple actually: GOOGLE YOURSELF BEFORE A JOB INTERVIEW!!!
Gone are the days of talking on the phone for hours on end. They’ve been replaced by text messages, Snapchats, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and emoticons. (I know this firsthand with my two sons, who have no idea that a ‘smartphone’ is intelligent enough to dial a phone number--unless they need something from Mom!) …
