Insurance may not feel exciting until it becomes the thing protecting everything you’ve built. In this episode, Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson sit down with Rod Zabriskie to unpack the coverage high-income professionals often overlook, from income protection and asset defense to long-term planning and liquidity. For pilots, physicians, business owners, and investors, this conversation offers a timely look at how the right insurance strategy can support wealth building, passive income goals, and family security before life forces the issue.
Rod Zabriskie is the President and Co-Founder of Money Insights Group, a financial strategy firm that helps high-income earners think beyond conventional planning and build wealth with greater control and protection. Known for his education-first approach, Rod helps clients connect insurance, alternative assets, tax strategy, and legacy planning into one cohesive financial system. He brings a practical lens to insurance, helping clients understand the coverages that can protect their income, family, assets, and future opportunities.
