Anthony Anderson’s Personal Story
You may know Anthony Anderson from his hit TV show black-ish and as host of Eating America. But this September he’ll be taking on a new role as the 2015 national spokesperson for Life Insurance Awareness Month.
The annual campaign, which takes place in September, is coordinated by Life Happens to encourage the more than 100 million Americans who do not have adequate life insurance to get the coverage they need.
As spokesperson for the campaign, Anthony will share his personal story of how he and his family were directly impacted life insurance.
As a young boy growing up in Compton, Calif., Anderson saw the importance his family placed on life insurance. While his parents didn’t have much, they did have Mary—or as Anthony’s family called her, ‘The Insurance Lady.’ Mary was a fixture in the Anderson home, visiting the family throughout the year to review and update his parents’ life insurance policies. She even sold Anthony his first life insurance policy when he turned 18.
Now, a husband and a father, Anthony understands why his parents made life insurance a priority, and has made it a priority for his family to be protected.
“Even on their limited income, my mom and dad instilled upon all of us the importance of planning for the future and the fact that tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone,” Anderson says. “I know how hard it is to lose someone you love. An accident took my brother when he was 26 and shortly after, I lost my father to diabetes, a disease I, myself, live with today. It was rough getting through those deaths, but the fact that they both had life insurance made it so much easier.”

Do you need life insurance
"I have to talk to my wife"
This is another statement that I hear quite often when talking to the husband about life insurance.
Sales 101 tells you to have both spouses at the appointment. I agree with that but sometimes that is not possible.
So I stopped to think about that and have come to this conclusion - the guy just doesn't want to pay the money to protect his wife and family. With that being said, it could be about the money. Maybe things are tight but if that were true and if the guy truly loved his family and wanted to make sure they were protected he would ask to see a lower premium - to get something - verse just putting it off.

They've looked me in the eye and said, "I'm going to talk to her today and I'll get back to you in a couple of days." In over 25 years that has never happened. I have never gotten that phone call.
I mentioned this to call out the guys who have not provided for their family when they die. Do you need life insurance
I have over $1,000,000 dollars of life insurance - so I walk the talk.
