How We Live:  Fortifying HBCUs’ Endowments Through Life Insurance

Financial services professional and Philander Smith alumnus Elliot J. Ricks pays the podcast a visit to explain how college alumni use life insurance policies to support their alma maters. Elliot also explains why life insurance has historically been two bad words in Black America, and why he says, “No more chicken dinners.”
