For a lot of people, the very mention of the word insurance can evoke a mixture of both terror and boredom.
It's something lots of us might buy when we have to and then hope to never have to think about again.
But that is not how Frank Sirowski thinks about it.
Frank learned about the wonders of insurance early on.
My first foray into insurance as a concept was when I was in fourth grade and I accidentally burned down my bedroom.
What?
I had a little candle that was in a plastic container, and I woke up to the wall on fire.
Smoke everywhere.
And I was like, oh, what do I do?
Frank runs down the hall to the bathroom to grab the first vessel he can find,
which turns out to be a tiny toy bucket.
So I'm filling this bucket, and I'm running back and forth to my bedroom, but the smoke detector goes off.
Now the whole family's awake.
What's going on?
