12:01 For those that aren't super familiar with the captive insurance concept, let's expand a bit more on what it is and how it can essentially wipe out a $100k liability each year. There's a lot to it. Why do people put it on a nasty list, and how do you stay away from that?
16:22 What are the basics if someone asks you "I have a tax preparer or I have an accountant...they're already doing all this for me..." and the answer's typically no they're not - and it's because if they're more compliance focused, they're just too freaking busy to be looking ahead at proactive stuff. What are warning signs to ask for if you truly want a tax planner?
21:06 How much do you dabble with estate planning and working with estate attorneys, and that side of things?
25:18 Let's circle back. Give me the elevator pitch of what captive insurance is.
36:55 Is there a particular pricing method that you like to use as a tax strategist that you recommend to others?
