Augustine College Radio Ad

Are you worried about your child’s future? The world feels… uncertain. Are you concerned they’ll drift, lose their footing, and struggle to find meaning? At most universities, they’ll struggle to maintain their faith, chastity, and integrity.

Augustine College is a one-year foundations course. Not just another year of school, but a year of profound transformation. A year where students delve into the enduring wisdom of Western civilization, from the ancient Greeks to the modern era, all through a distinctly Christian lens.

Your child will learn about subjects like theology, literature, and philosophy. But most importantly, they’ll learn how to think, prepared to face the complexities of this world.

You want your kids to grow in their faith and flourish. You want them to find the hope and future meant for them. At Augustine, we equip our students, not to follow the patterns of this world, but to experience meaningful transformation.

Visit augustinecollege.org to see how this experience could shape the rest of your child’s life.

<Intro> 

We are Team Foresters, life insurance professionals committed to making a difference. 

<we chose challenge> 

Jason, a new Canadian Uber driver, and Sarah, a graphic designer from Vancouver, are two of the 1.7 million gig workers in Canada. While very different people, gigging for very different reasons, they face a similar challenge. What do they do when something goes wrong? Maybe Jason’s son broke a tooth during baseball. Maybe Sarah’s new contract doesn’t have the health coverage her last one did. That’s why we’re introducing our solution: gigLife. Benefits and community for the gig economy. 

<solutions details> 

By signing up for gigLife, they get access to exclusive community forums, a learning platform, and discounts for free.  

To start accessing a My Healthcare Spending Account for health expenses or MeFirst cash account for accessing funds in an emergency, they can choose from one of the tax-deductible paid tiers, with the additional benefit of being able to schedule time with business professionals like lawyers or accountants.  

For a mobile-first workforce, we’ve created the gigLife app. Let’s take a look at some of the features:

<how does it solve the challenge> 

gigLife solves the challenge of supporting dynamic and engaged independent workers by providing benefits they might lack, a buffer for when they’re between gigs, and access to professionals to help them with financial or legal advice. As a growing platform, gigLife also creates an opportunity for group advocacy for the gig worker community.  

<Business case -> business canvas> 

gigLife pays for the benefits through a combination of membership fees and the unique use of group life insurance. gigLife buys life insurance on every member and advances a portion of the death benefit to members to help pay for the benefits. The product recoups expenses through the death benefit when the insured passes.  

gigLife. Benefits for the gig community.
