Our family history is a major part of who we are. Being able to record or write down that history is a special thing.
An important and impactful part of that process is capturing the memories of our senior family members. Seeing the past through their eyes as recalled in the stories they tell, makes life from another time come to life. It also helps cement a bond between generations that can’t be done in other ways.
Our guest today calls his experience working with his father to write his dad’s memoir one of the most inspiring times of his life.

S02, Ep 04: John Allen, The What If Series on Insurance
The first in a series we call “What If?” In this episode, we discover what you really need to know about insurance. Our guest, John Allen, is president and managing agent with Community Insurance Advisors. John’s mission is to set a new standard for the insurance industry. Here John walks us through a thought process of how we should engage an agent and get the most from our insurance policies. While many people buy insurance on price (whether it be for the house, car or business), most of us really have no idea what our policies cover. John clearly describes “all-risk” versus “named-perils” coverage, water endorsements and the difference between replacement and ACV (depreciated) claims settlements. John has leveraged his passion for people and his attention to detail to grow an insurance business that is a true advocate for his clients.”
