There are products out there that lots of people both own and hate. Life insurance is one of those products. Whole life insurance, and its variants, have probably the worst reputation among all life insurance choices. My guest today is a financial advisor who seems to have found some good uses for life insurance while you’re still alive. Sound counterintuitive? Then listen to this episode.

Drew Powers is the Founder of Powers Financial Group, LLC, a Registered Investment Advisor. He specializes in advanced insurance and investment strategies for doctors. Drew is 100% independent, he doesn’t work with any investment or insurance company, which means he’s able to give unbiased advice that is most beneficial for his clients. Drew started his career in 2001 as a Market Maker on the Chicago Board Options Exchange, where he managed trading portfolios comprising hundreds of equity- and equity-index option listings. In 2008, he transitioned to the role of Financial Advisor and Investment Advisor Representative, where he helped clients develop individual financial strategies. At Powers Financial Group, Drew leverages his stock and options trading expertise with his financial advising experience to help clients increase and protect their wealth. Drew lives in Naperville with his wife and their two children. He is an avid downhill skier, active in youth sports, a proud "Rooster" within the Naperville Jaycees, and is passionate about CrossFit and the Paleo/Primal Lifestyle.
