INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Most people think about insurance backwards.
In this episode of the Working World Podcast, Patrick Rogers and Trevor break down what insurance is actually designed to do, how it fits into a financial plan, and why so many people either overbuy the wrong coverage… or completely ignore the risks that matter most.
From health insurance and disability coverage to homeowners, auto, umbrella, and long-term care policies, this episode explores how insurance functions as financial defense — not wealth building.
They also discuss why medical debt remains one of the biggest financial risks in America, how liability coverage protects accumulated assets, and why many insurance products are marketed in ways that confuse consumers.
If you’ve ever wondered:
“What insurance do I actually need?”
“How much coverage is enough?”
“Is insurance an investment?”
“What financial risks should I actually worry about?”
…this episode is for you.
