Disability Insurance: The Underrated Financial Safety Net

If your client’s next paycheck was their last for the next four years — what would they do? In this episode, we dig into why Disability Insurance (DI) is a critical (yet often overlooked) part of a sound financial plan. Kenny Russell and Michael Prothe discuss how to position DI as income protection, break down common client misconceptions, and offer practical tips for starting the conversation. With over 90% of DI claims tied to illness, not accidents, this is a must-listen for financial professionals looking to close a major gap in financial planning.
