Jeremy’s Professional Story
Jeremy and Jon have been very close friends since the college years. While transitioning after the sale of his previous business interest, Jeremy began doing consulting work with Retirement Evolutions to help improve operative systems. The beacon for his next vocational venture had to include the ability to enrich people’s lives. Seeing firsthand how profoundly that was occurring each day at Retirement Evolutions, he couldn’t deny the chance to be part of its bright future. In 2016, Jeremy earned his Series 65 license and Arizona health and life insurance certifications. He is proud to be able to pursue his passion of helping while leveraging a professional career with deep roots in implementing solutions and service to individuals and small businesses.
Jeremy’s Personal Story
Jeremy grew up in the Chicago area and chased the sun to get a degree at the University of Arizona. After doing so, he returned to Illinois where over the next 15 years he would find joy in marrying his wife Jill, co-launching and growing a technology solutions company and watching his family grow to include his daughters, Alexa and Aleena, and son, Evan. Now back in Arizona (Phoenix), he and his family cherish doing any number of outdoor activities, attending the kids’ games and performances and enjoying time with friends and family.

Consider an Annuity Even When the Market’s Humming
Perhaps you are familiar with an annuity. The basic premise is that you convert a lump sum of money into a stream of income. Unlike an investment, once you commit a fixed amount of money to the insurance company, that company is contractually obligated to provide you a minimum level of income with the option to continue receiving it as long as you live. All guarantees are backed by the financial strength of the issuing insurance company.
LISTENTech Trends
There are different formulas for launching highly successful companies. First, create a product that solves a problem that no one knew they had — for instance, how online search engines replaced encyclopedias. Then, there are ideas that help solve problems that plague millions of people.
Back pain, for example. Not only do approximately eight in 10 adults experience low-back pain at some point in their lifetime, but it’s also the most common cause of job-related disability.
One individual who suffered severe back pain while sitting at work all day decided to invent a new kind of desk. This desk would allow him to stand while he worked, alleviating his back pain. This man was a co-founder of VARIDESK, a new type of office furniture manufacturer. But this new company didn’t just enter the office supply industry; it introduced a new sales model that was key to its rampant success: Selling online direct to consumers.
LISTENRetirement Planning Challenges
In 1985, only 10 percent of people aged 65 and older were either in the workforce or job hunting. Today, that share has doubled, for a couple of reasons. First, fewer 65-year-olds have enough money to retire. Second, the number of people in this demographic with a college degree has more than doubled (53 percent today vs. 25 percent in 1985).
LISTENBoosting Financial Literacy is a Top Priority
Financial literacy has always been a challenge. However, now that much of the burden of retirement income has shifted to employees instead of employers, it is all the more important that we begin teaching the principles of saving and investing to people as early as possible.
LISTENStock Buybacks Explained
When the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, the hope was companies would spend their influx of money on expansion and increased jobs and wages. Instead, public companies’ most popular way to spend the excess capital has been to buy back their own stock.
