The Annuity Man “Virtual Stanley” LIVES!

0:00
Hi there, Stan the Annuity Man,

0:01
America's annuity agent, licensed in all

0:03
50 states. Today's topic is a really

0:05
good one and a fun one and one I'm proud

0:07
of. It's about virtual Stanley. Who's

0:10
virtual Stanley? I thought you were

0:11
Stan. I am Stan. But we have a virtual

0:14
Stanley on our website that you can talk

0:16
to and ask questions to 247 365.

0:21
And he's pretty smart because all of the

0:23
videos and books and articles that I've

0:25
done in my life have been fed to Virtual

0:27
Stanley. and he's getting smarter and

0:29
smarter and smarter. But the good news

0:31
is that if a question hits you middle of

0:34
the night, you can ask him. We're going

0:36
to talk about that and the other

0:37
technology stuff that's happening in

0:39
annuity innovation, artificial

0:41
intelligence, whatever you call AI

0:44
after this.

0:52
I know what you're saying. You're

0:53
saying, "Wait a minute, Stan. You're

0:55
just this old white dude redneck. And by

0:58
the way, people say, "What? You know,

1:00
you're from the south. What are you,

1:01
some redneck?" Listen, redneck to me is

1:03
a positive term because what that meant

1:06
in this back in the day is you were

1:08
working outside and you got a sunburn,

1:10
but you were working. You're working

1:12
hard. So, you know, all of my family

1:15
grew up in in North Carolina. I guess

1:17
we're all considered rednecks. But the

1:18
bottom line of that of that comment is

1:21
people say, "Wait a minute. How are you

1:23
so techy? How do you have, you know, a

1:26
virtual Stanley on the site? I mean, is

1:28
that even possible? Well, just to give

1:31
the plot away a little bit, the person

1:33
that runs my company is an executive

1:36
from Google that was in the Gemini

1:39
division and that um you know, young 30s

1:43
and so he doesn't think that anything is

1:46
impossible. Whereas old people like you

1:48
give me a computer, I just don't want to

1:49
break it. You give him a computer, he's

1:51
going to go 100 miles an hour. So when I

1:54
started doing videos a long long time

1:55
ago and you know we're now in 2,000

1:57
videos later and I do one every day as

2:00
long as I'm healthy. Um he's like why

2:03
don't we do something on the site called

2:04
virtual Stanley where people if they

2:06
they can't talk to you and can't get to

2:08
you and you know if you schedule call

2:09
you might get me not all the time. Let's

2:12
put something on the site where we fed

2:14
all of the books I've written which are

2:16
seven currently. I'm writing my eighth

2:18
one now. We've done over 2,000 videos.

2:20
I've written over 400 articles. So, we

2:22
took all of that content and we fed it

2:24
into Virtual Stanley. My my uh CEO, the

2:27
Google guy I'm going to call him, uh

2:29
found a very good company out of Boston,

2:32
a bunch of MIT grads and they have

2:35
figured out how to do this. So, you can

2:37
go to my site and bottom right hand

2:40
corner, you're going to see a caricature

2:42
that kind of looks like me. Um has the

2:44
red sweatsuit on, has the black hat.

2:46
He's he's kind of got his arms. He looks

2:48
mean and angry. Of course, that's not

2:50
me. I'm not mean or angry or anything

2:52
like that, but you can type in

2:54
questions. Click that button, it'll pop

2:56
up. You can type in questions about

2:58
annuities

3:00
and you will get answers from me because

3:03
the content came from me. Now, I'm not

3:05
some genius that, you know, six years

3:07
ago went, you know what? I see

3:09
artificial intelligence or as as the

3:12
administration calls it, super

3:13
intelligence coming. So, I'm going to

3:14
start doing videos because eventually

3:16
down the road, 2,000 videos from now,

3:19
we're going to be able to feed it into a

3:20
virtual Stanley and have 247 access for

3:23
clients to either talk to me or talk to

3:25
virtual Stanley. I'm not that smart.

3:28
Okay, it just happened. And so, when

3:31
Google guy gets to my company uh earlier

3:34
this year and starts, he goes, "Oh my

3:36
goodness, we just have to do a, you

3:37
know, virtual Stanley. would be the only

3:38
ones cuz I'm the only maniac that's done

3:40
this many videos. So, it's going to be

3:43
my voice. Now, we just launched it

3:46
recently and I'm I'm very proud of it

3:48
just because we've had so many

3:51
interactions and and that they've even

3:53
pro programmed it because we can see,

3:55
you know, kind kind of what's we can go

3:57
back and see what questions are asked

3:59
just because we're interested. And of

4:00
course, people try to break it. Hey,

4:02
Stan, if you were a bird, what kind of

4:04
bird would you be? They'd ask virtual

4:05
Stanley. And of course, virtual

4:07
Stanley's me and answers. Yeah, ask a

4:09
real question, you know, don't waste my

4:11
time. But you can ask real questions

4:13
like about Migas or about income

4:15
writers, about lifetime income, about

4:17
principal protection.

4:19
It's it's fascinating. So, what we're

4:22
doing is very interesting. Um, I'm a big

4:25
believer in the old school way. You

4:27
know, get me on the phone. You can

4:29
schedule a call with me if you want to.

4:31
You know, we do these videos. I I do

4:33
them one I do one a day.

4:36
It's important for me because I want to,

4:39
you know, educate you, entertain you,

4:41
edutain you so that you're making a

4:43
right decision on annuities and not fall

4:45
in for some sales pitch. But we wanted

4:48
to have 247 access to me. Obviously, I

4:50
need some sleep. I'm a little old. So

4:53
now you can choose. You can either talk

4:55
to me, you can talk to virtual Stanley.

4:58
You're going to get the same answers

4:59
because virtual Stanley's me. And as you

5:01
know from artificial intelligence, super

5:04
intelligence,

5:05
it gets better. It learns um and what

5:10
we're seeing is more and more people are

5:12
using virtual Stanley for their

5:15
questions. So you have 247 365 access to

5:18
me whether it's virtual Stanley or

5:21
whether you can schedule call. Top right

5:22
hand corner you can schedule call most

5:24
of the time you're going to get me.

5:26
bottom right hand corner is virtual

5:28
Stanley if you just want to ask a

5:29
question at one in the morning that

5:31
happens you fun fact about these videos

5:34
that I do and this is interesting every

5:37
single day every single hour someone's

5:40
watching a video of mine 24 hours a day

5:43
it's fascinating it's incredible o other

5:46
countries this country even though we

5:48
can only sell annuities in the United

5:50
States I mean big fan base overseas u I

5:54
think people are looking for lifetime

5:56
income whether they're living here or

5:57
not. But the technology side of the

6:00
annuity man is really growing. [snorts]

6:02
And because Google guy now runs my

6:05
company, we're the leader. We're the

6:08
innovation leader. We're the first to

6:09
have online applications

6:12
for both for all products. SPSDS, QAX,

6:16
Income Writers, multi-year guarantee

6:18
annuities. you can do the apps online

6:21
and then my team will call you and just

6:24
validate it's you validate that's what

6:25
you want and take care of the

6:27
application.

6:28
So once again we're giving you the

6:30
opportunity to either work with human

6:33
beings or work with super intelligence

6:36
or work with both. We're giving you that

6:39
that off-ramp and at all times you can

6:42
talk to a human being. I have the

6:44
largest staff located in Las Vegas,

6:46
Nevada. We're open 12 hours a day,

6:48
Monday through Friday, and eight hours

6:50
on s on Saturday. That's 68 hours a

6:52
week. If you want to talk to human

6:54
beings, if you want to do it all

6:56
virtually, you can. You can also go to

6:58
my site and run anonymous quotes. You

7:01
don't have to put in your name, your

7:02
email, um your phone number. You can run

7:05
quotes. Just put in your gender, date of

7:07
birth, and state of resonance. You get

7:09
real quotes. I'm the only one to do

7:11
that. I'm proud to be the pioneer of AI

7:15
could mean artificial intelligence. I

7:17
It's also annuity innovation. I'm the

7:20
leader in annuity innovation. You're

7:22
saying, "Wait a minute, Stan. You're big

7:23
old redneck ex basketball player. How's

7:26
that even possible?" [snorts] Google

7:27
guy. Google guy and his tech bros and

7:30
tech sisses that he's found are building

7:33
something unique and something proc

7:36
customer. Um, and we're just getting

7:38
started

7:40
going forward. We have we have

7:41
solidified vendors that are going to

7:44
build things for us that's going to make

7:45
your client experience

7:47
customizable

7:50
in 247 365. It's very unique. I'm very

7:54
proud of it. I could never have done it

7:56
myself. Google guy that now runs my

7:58
company is the heat seeeking missile

8:01
that the annuity industry has never

8:03
seen. He's he's a unicorn. So he's taken

8:07
old school Stan and taken old school

8:09
Stan con content and old school Stan

8:12
ideas about taking care of the customer

8:14
and said we can do both. We can do it

8:16
human, we can do it super intelligence.

8:19
We can give the client the opportunity

8:21
to make a decision on which one they

8:22
want to use. You know late at night if a

8:25
question hits you at 2 in the morning

8:28
I'm asleep. Go talk to virtual Stanley

8:31
or say you know what I want to talk I

8:32
need to talk to Stan. I want to hear

8:34
what he has to say. that maniac. I want

8:36
to talk to him and you know I'm gonna

8:38
tell you the truth, you know, period.

8:40
Whether it's, you know, whe whether it's

8:42
good or bad, you're gonna get the truth.

8:44
So the bottom line is

8:47
virtual Stanley is alive.

8:49
You have a choice. You can talk to the

8:51
real Stan or Virtual Stanley. But you

8:53
can do that 24/7 365.

8:56
You can you can take you can have your

8:58
application done by my team, best team

9:00
in the business, all under one roof in

9:02
Las Vegas, or you can do it online

9:03
yourself.

9:06
You can have us run the quotes if you

9:08
want to or you can go to my site and you

9:10
can run them anonymously. As my wife

9:12
says, both both ends can be true. You

9:15
can have virtual and you can have real.

9:18
I don't think in this day and age you

9:19
can have one or the other. You know,

9:22
we're not going to funnel you just to AI

9:24
or super intelligence. We're we're not

9:26
going to funnel you just old school

9:27
stand. We're going to give you the

9:29
choice. And as a consumer, I think

9:31
that's what you want. I I'll close with

9:33
this story. When I started doing videos

9:36
a while [clears throat] back and I met a

9:38
really good YouTube producer and told

9:40
him, he said, "Yeah, I think it might

9:42
work, but it's a long-term play." Um,

9:45
everybody in the business in the annuity

9:47
business said, "Nah, you know, people

9:49
boomers and people like that, they're

9:51
not going to watch videos. There's just

9:52
no way. That's just they want to read

9:54
things." And, you know, I've written

9:55
seven books, so we can give you that as

9:57
well. But I'm like, I don't know. I have

10:00
faith in the in the consumer that they

10:02
actually want to watch videos and get

10:05
educated, entertained, and educated at

10:07
the same time. I feel the same way right

10:09
now with the introduction of virtual

10:11
Stanley, the online apps, and the

10:13
anonymous quotes.

10:15
It's time to give the consumer, the

10:17
annuity consumer, the opportunity to

10:20
make a choice.

10:22
And that's what we've done. Pretty cool.

10:25
Hey, do me one last favor before you go

10:27
to my site, theanuityman.com. You can

10:29
download books and again run the quotes.

10:31
Talk to virtual Stanley. Go talk to

10:32
virtual Stanley. Go to my site. Um I did

10:34
a video that I want you to take a look

10:35
at that. It's called income annuities

10:38
are Wall Street's best friend. And they

10:40
are. You need to watch that because most

10:42
people go I hate annuities. And Wall

10:43
Street probably says I hate annuit. They

10:45
don't. They don't. Remember I used to

10:47
work for Morgan Stanley Dean Wood Pane

10:49
Weber UBS. So I know what I'm talking

10:51
about. Watch that video. You're going to

10:53
get a kick because it's true. And it's

10:55
also going to help you in the

10:57
foundational um learning that you have

11:00
to do to put together a portfolio. Okay,

11:03
my name is Stan the Annuity Man. See you

11:06
next time.
