Jayson Lowe (speaker/uploader) argues that rising conversation about dividend-paying, participating whole life insurance is driven by social media: smartphones turn anyone into a broadcaster, people distrust the financial system and search for alternatives, and whole life is presented as a solution to those concerns.
Why do I think that more people are talking about dividend paying, participating, whole life insurance? It's because of platforms like these, social media. With your smartphone, you've got a tv, you've got a radio channel, you've got the ability to podcast, you can communicate to the world whatever your message is. And so we're starting to see that become more prevalent because people are really feeling like there's something fundamentally wrong with the financial system. They just can't quite put their finger on it. So they're out there in social media land searching for answers. This just so happens to be a great solution to that problem.
