Looking for financial concepts explained without the industry jargon?
In this special episode, members of the Ameritas advanced planning team, Troy Branch, Jacob Messick and Keali Jo French, play “Pardon My Jargon. Can You Define That?” They turn financial planning, investing, retirement and tax terms into a fast-paced competition with one goal: making complex concepts simple.
Each participant is given common industry terms—like fiduciary, diversification, tax brackets and Roth conversions—and must explain them in plain language with zero jargon. A panel of judges scores each definition, and the highest score wins. It’s a fun test to show just how challenging, and important, it is to communicate financial concepts and strategies in a way people can truly understand.
