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. www.AndyAlbright.com @AndySAlbright https://arc.naaleads.com/ @NAALeadsTheWay @NationalAgentsAlliance #N247RU #DoTheDo #TheAlliance

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 following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be

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. www.AndyAlbright.com @AndySAlbright https://arc.naaleads.com/ @NAALeadsTheWay @NationalAgentsAlliance #N247RU #DoTheDo #TheAlliance

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. www.AndyAlbright.com @AndySAlbright https://arc.naaleads.com/ @NAALeadsTheWay @NationalAgentsAlliance #N247RU #DoTheDo #TheAlliance

There are hugely important in all our lives. To some, they are just random dates. To others, they represent things like birthdays, graduation dates and weddings. It's amazing how minor one day can be to the masses, but mean so much to one person. May 28, 2012 is that date for Paul Roberts and his family. It's when he asked God to make him stop. That's the day Roberts got sober. He's been that way for more than nine years, sharing his journey with family, friends and members of The Alliance. Prior to that day, Roberts drank socially, but that wasn't when was at his worst. The bad times were when he drank alone. He would drink liquor while sitting in his bathroom alone. One night he woke up in his garage and wasn't really sure why he was there. In January of 2012 he finally hit rock bottom. There were multiple trips to the emergency room to get help after rounds of binge drinking. He started hallucinating and had thoughts that he was burden on his wife, Tamara and their daughters – Torre and Randi. Luckily, that stopped on May 28, 2012. During the last nine years, Roberts has gone from losing cars and houses to replacing them with significant upgrades. The anxiety he fought for so long to find his next drink has been replaced with celebrating milestones, running various distance races and helping agents become successful. In early May, Roberts hit another major milestone in his professional career when through his company, Roberts Alliance (aka Roberts Rockstars), helped Roberts become a managing partner with Integrity Marketing Group. Roberts and Tamara are the first members of The Alliance to partner with Integrity since Andy and Jane Albright joined forces with Dallas-based Integrity, the nation's largest independent distributor of life and health insurance products. The Roberts Rockstars group has grown from a small office into a space that allows Roberts to host meetings and events. It's a special space because of the history he has with it. It was formerly SouthWest Beer and Wine Mart, a place Roberts stopped at almost daily to buy more alcohol. When Roberts stopped drinking the mart closed less than 90 days later. Roberts was surprised and joked that he had put them out of business when he stopped drinking. The space became New Hope Church for a little while. One day Roberts saw that the building was available because the church was moving. After several visits to see the space, Roberts felt comfortable making this the new home of Roberts Rockstars. Since the move, Roberts is focused on helping agents grow through coaching and showing them what is possible with a little work. "I want it bad for them," Roberts said. "I've got mine and now I have to help them get theirs too. Becoming a partner with Integrity has really opened things up for all of us to shoot for partner." Roberts is a leader who has shown that with unbreakable determination, one can overcome even the toughest odds. Entering the insurance industry was a leap of faith for Roberts. However, he came equipped with over a decade of experience in professional recruiting. That experience taught him the power that building strong relationships and demonstrating compassion can have on a business. Today, Roberts Alliance supports a national network of life and health insurance agents who help thousands of American families find the coverage they need. The company placed more than $25 million in annual paid premium during 2020. "When we started Roberts Alliance, our mission was simply to serve families," Roberts said. "But in life, I've learned you can't do anything alone and we were ready for the next step. Now that we've joined Integrity, we can reach thousands more Americans than we could on our own. Integrity will take many back-office responsibilities off my plate, so I can serve my team more than ever before. I can't wait to see where this journey takes us, and I am so excited that Roberts Alliance is joining forces with Integrity." No one is prouder of Paul Roberts than The Alliance CEO Andy Albright. He's been right there with Roberts, who started working with The Alliance in 2005. Albright calls Roberts an example and inspiration for others who are facing their own struggles. "Paul's journey is nothing short of inspiring in terms of where he was in 2012 to where he is in 2021," Albright said. "Through it all, he's continued helping people grow. He's one of our greatest success stories, which is why Integrity wanted to make him a partner. Jane and I couldn't be happier for Paul and Tamara. I predict the Roberts Rockstars are going to grow like crazy moving forward." Bryan W. Adams, co-founder and CEO of Integrity, echoed Albright's comments. "The story, intensity and passion that Paul brings is truly inspirational and we're honored to partner with him and his team," Adams said. "This partnership will allow Integrity to invest in Paul's business and give him more access to technology and tools, as well as provide crucial resources to help him

On this episode of MOVE, you'll hear an interview with Jake and Belle Crause, who are no strangers when it comes to being part of an elite, special and – most importantly -- winning team. The couple chatted with Mac Heffner to talk about how they joined The Alliance, and took advantage of the opportunity. The Crauses both had impressive military careers in the Army, where they couldn't always tell people what they had done. Now, they can tell the world and invite them to join The Alliance too. Jake remembers the first time he saw Belle was right after finishing basic training in the Army in Huntsville, Ala. Jake, who served for 22 years before retiring in September of 2018, was in a break room when Belle walked in the room. "I was struck by her immediately," Jake said of seeing his future wife. "She was pretty, she had a great smile, and she doesn't remember meeting me but that was how we met." If Belle had followed the path of most people in the small town where she grew up in southeastern Kentucky, she would never have met Jake. Belle was the first in her family to graduate from high school. Her family's home didn't have running water until she was a teenager. Most women in her town were married and had children before they turned 20. It was a poor town, where people don't dream big and most never leave. Belle wanted more. She read about different places in the world. An army recruiter came to her school when she was 13 and told her she had options. That gave her the lifeline she needed to live a different life than the people she grew up around. Belle knew she was going to join the Army. "I couldn't fathom staying where I was," Belle said. "Once you get a taste of that freedom and get a taste that there could be more, you starve for it. You are always after the next level of how you can do more and how you can do better." On the other side of the country, Jake grew up south of Seattle, Wash. in a town called Kent. As a young boy, Jake went to a state fair and saw an airplane show. He knew the sky was where he wanted to be when he grew up. While Jake had opportunities, he didn't have enough money to attend college. Jake's path was the Army. It was also his ticket to become a pilot. After meeting at basic training, the couple dated for about six months. They were married on a beach in Florida as they were finishing up Explosive Ordinance Disposal training. Jake deployed a week later. This was basically the routine during the next 22 years. Belle served for eight years in the Army but was badly injured during an explosion in June of 1996. The blast at the Khobar Towers in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia killed 19 people and threw Belle across the room, injuring her back. "There's days where she is down because of her back. She takes away my excuses and a lot of other people's excuses by going out and still doing that," Jake said. "Her military service was very significant, and I want everybody to know that." As Jake continued deploying for months at a time, Belle raised the couple's two children – Heidi and Jacob. Eventually, Jake joined a Special Operations Aviation Regiment called the Night Stalkers. He flew in more than 15 combat deployments, some of which movies have been made about. As Jake clearly had an identity with the military, Belle was losing her role as stay-at-home mom. Her kids were adults, and she need to find a new purpose. "I was looking for something more when the opportunity of The Alliance came around," Belle said. "The kids had gotten older, and I was getting into a new phase of life where it wasn't so centered around raising the children and the home front as much. That's when this opportunity came along." In 2016, Jake was still in the military, but kept seeing fellow Night Stalker Brandon Bules talking to people on the phone or listening to conference calls. Jake finally asked Bules what he was doing. Jake wanted no part of sales or insurance, but he thought Belle would be great at it. Jake was right, and he eventually warmed up to the idea of working with The Alliance too. Jake said the culture attracted him, which was something he loved about the Army. "I don't know where I got this negative perception about sales and insurance," Jake said. "I knew Brandon was up to something. He's always been business-minded, and I could just tell he was working on something. Now, looking back, I know he was listening to calls like The Wednesday Call. I finally asked him about it, and I initially rejected it. But, I knew Belle could do it. I pictured her being able to pick it up and run with it." Belle got her license in June of 2016. Jake was deployed at the time, but she was able to run business one day each week on Saturday. She did that for six months, and soon realized she could sell life insurance. She also found a new family, and she said fell in love with the people at The Alliance. "Everything I had done for the last 10 years, the kids were outgrowing it," Belle said. "I needed something else to
