  • EP99:Relationships Vs. Religion | MOVE

    EP99:Relationships Vs. Religion | MOVE
    Oct 13 2022

    On this episode of MOVE, Andy serves up a sermon from Marcus Richardson, of Aurora, Colorado, who preached on Sunday morning at The Alliance’s “Breakthrough” event in Burlington, N.C.

    Have you ever thought about life in terms of relationships vs. religion?

    What if we misunderstood God? What if when he showed up we didn’t understand what needed to happen?

    What if it was really about relationships? What if that was God’s plan for us?

    Genesis Chapter 1:26 NKJ version

    The enemy wants you to question what God actually said to you. Man was made in His image.

    You are like God just by showing up. You have to be very careful about what voices you allow in your head. He knows what is in our heart. It all started with Adam and Eve. After eating that forbidden fruit, Adam was suddenly embarrassed that he was naked.

    God asked how he knew he was naked? It was the beginning of how man can often fall prey to outside noise that isn’t what God wants for you. God wants what is best for us, even when we might not understand it.

    God’s original plan was for man to dominate the Earth.

    You have to have faith that your path is the one He intended for you.

    Settle in and listen as Marcus shares some select passages from the Bible about this deep subject.

  • EP98:Adam and Beth Katz: Doing Life and Business Together | MOVE

    EP98:Adam and Beth Katz: Doing Life and Business Together | MOVE
    Oct 11 2022
    How many true friends can you say that you have had for more than 30 years? You might have a couple, but the number is probably very low. For Adam and Beth Katz, the list begins and ends with two people: Andy and Jane Albright. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1991, Beth and Adam accepted elementary teaching positions in Harnett County in North Carolina as part of their Teaching Fellow Scholarship requirement. Each new teacher was assigned a mentor. It just so happened that Adam Katz and Jane Albright were assigned to the same mentor. Eventually, that mentor started a “side hustle” with Andy Albright in Amway. Andy asked the mentor for a list of names and Adam and Beth Katz were on the list of people to contact. 30 years later, it’s hard to imagine not seeing the Katzes and Albrights not “doing life” together. “We realized early that our salaries were not going to get us where we wanted to be,” Adam said. “I was very open to ideas of how to make money outside of teaching.” Andy, then 27, visited with Beth and Adam, who was 22, at their modest townhome, which led to attending an opportunity meeting. They liked Andy and the rest is history … 30 years later! A lot of “life” has happened during the last three decades. The two couples have been there for the good, the bad and everything in between. The birth of children, the loss of loved ones, the highs and the lows … they’ve experienced it all together. From 1992-99 the Katzes and the Albrights were working outside of their “9-to-5” jobs building their Amway businesses. If they weren’t teaching, Adam and Beth were working to bring in more income. When Albright had an idea, they were “all in” and tried a number of different money-making ideas. In 1999, Adam Katz got his insurance license. The reason was to actually make more money that he would be able to invest into his Amway business. Slowly, it became clear that it was time to shift his entire focus into building an insurance agency. “I knew Andy was working on something and it was probably going to be insurance,” Adam Katz said. The Katzes said it didn’t matter what direction Andy and Jane went professionally. They had decided to partner in any endeavor with them and “do life together.” “I just wanted to find somebody to do life and business with,” Adam Katz said. “I always had the dream of having my own business. We were lucky that we ended up with them, and it all started because we liked them and built a relationship with them long before we made any money working with them.” Pretty quickly the Katzes were able to replace a teaching salary with a multiple six-figure income with The Alliance. That number rose to $1 million annually and the Katzes have enjoyed the ride beside their long-time friends. They’ve traveled the world with the Albrights in places they never imagined they would see in person. Another constant during their travel is ice cream. It’s a tradition that started on a cruise in Germany. Every trip they are on together, no matter the location, Adam journeys out to find ice cream for his wife and Jane, who loves coffee-flavored ice cream. “I started a tradition that continues all over the world anywhere we go,” Adam said. Adam and Beth have went from living in a small townhome to living on the coast in Wilmington, N.C. in their dream home where they raised their three children – Sarah (married and expecting a baby this year), Emily (an agent with The Alliance) and Andrew (a sophomore at UNC Chapel Hill). “We’ve always believed in Adam and Beth from the beginning,” Andy Albright said of his long-time friends. “There’s no couple we want to be successful more than Adam and Beth. They have been by our side when things have been very good, but they’ve also been there when things were not so good. Their loyalty is something we honor and cherish greatly. It’s been a blast hanging out with them all over the world.” Good or bad, the Katzes said they always had tremendous support from the Albrights. “They’ve never given up on us even when we’ve given up on ourselves,” Adam Katz said. “They believed in us more than we believed in ourselves. To have somebody in your life that will speak that kind of life into you is just an incredible thing.” Beth Katz said repaying Andy and Jane for all their help and guidance during the last 30 years is impossible. However, Beth said helping others is their way of showing the Albrights gratitude. “Adam and I need to be to others what Andy and Jane were to us,” Beth Katz said. “That’s the way we can give back to them for what they’ve done for us.” The book of Ruth in the Bible talks about making the Covenant Commitment. In a literal sense, a covenant means a binding agreement, a legal contract. It is a seal between two or more parties. Ruth 1:16-17 reads: “And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from ...

  • EP96:Safe Money: Your Map To Retirement | MOVE

    EP96:Safe Money: Your Map To Retirement | MOVE
    Sep 15 2022

    On this episode of Andy Albright's MOVE, you'll learn about the power of owning an annuity product and how it can help set you up for retirement. 

    Ulpian, who is considered by many to be The Father of the Life Table, or the actuarial table, was standing in the palace of the Emperor as a mob became louder and louder and more unruly. This happened often in ancient Rome. The underclass knew how to stick together to get better treatment from the upper class. Suddenly, the Praetorian Guard, the Secret Service of Ancient Rome, turned on Ulpian and he was assassinated in the chaos. The year was 228.

    His work is still here, almost 1,800 years later. Annuities of all kinds depend on the life table, or actuarial that Ulpian is believed to have first conceived. It is ironic that a soldier killed him because some of the first annuities, based on life expectancy, were set up to pay the soldiers of the Roman Empire.

    The word “annua” is Latin and refers to annual stipend. Ulpian conceived an idea of measuring life expectancy with his life tables.

    The annuity is not welfare. “To each his own” is a basis for self-reliance and annuities through the century have a culture of responsibility to yourself. The idea that pools of money would be used to pay for soldiers, and other “workers” in Rome is certainly not welfare because you were expected to pay in to the pool to get some guarantee of income.

    Here is the other bedrock that comes from the Romans.

    The jobs in Rome included farmers, doctors, engineers, architects, teachers, shopkeepers, craftsmen, soldiers, sailors, fisherman, writers, poets, musicians, statesmen, bankers, traders, merchants, accountants, government officials, smiths, jewelers, construction workers, temple workers, entertainers, and others.

    Doesn’t that sound a little bit like today’s multi-level workforce. The annuity, you see, was created for a broad class of people and occupations.

    Scholars believe the Romans had lifetime income strategies that were the basis of the Single Premium Immediate Annuity structure used today

    The ideals of annuities have lasted for centuries. It is a culture of looking out for the long haul and having some guarantee of return. This culture has withstood world wars, famines, disease, governments being overthrown, and all manner of human calamity.

  • EP95:Save Smarter, Not Harder | MOVE

    EP95:Save Smarter, Not Harder | MOVE
    Sep 15 2022

    On this episode of Andy Albright's MOVE, you'll learn all about why it's better to "Save Smarter, Not Harder ... a guide to all things Index Universal Life insurance.

    What good is wealth accumulation without wealth preservation?

    So understand this. Wealth preservation is not simply putting your money in something safe, like an annuity, it is preserving the wealth from unnecessary taxes. Most of us want to contribute to the common good by paying taxes—schools, fire department, police, roads—and we want to stay within the boundaries of the law, but ignorance of tax liability can erode our wealth.

    We invest in the wrong tax-advantage financial vehicles. We are not aware of tax-efficiencies. Our tax strategy does not work with our income distribution plan later in life. You don’t know it, but you have laid landmines all around your wealth accumulation plan and one of these days you are going to stumble over that land mine.

    This book is going to help you with wealth accumulation and how to preserve that wealth in retirement by setting up tax strategies … now.

    The book is also going to help you with planning. If you are reading this book and you are in your early 30s, perfect. Please don’t be dazzled by the booms of the stock market and the 20 percent wins on stocks. It doesn’t last. Invest in the market, sure, but when you diversify think about the IUL and lifetime achievement of your wealth.
