Coffee with Jon - Think Big. Get Unstuck. Grow Your Business

Joanne Giardini-Russell is a Medicare Guru and owner of Boomer Health Group, an independent provider of Medicare products nationally. Boomer currently has seven agents that work in Medicare-land each and every day. Having spent years in the financial services and insurance industries, she recognized an enormous and unfilled niche. Namely, the lack of quality education and assistance in product selection in the extremely confusing space called Medicare. In addition to holding client consultations daily, Joanne is often found teaching financial advisor firms, property and casualty agencies, group insurance providers and human resource professionals about the ins and outs of Medicare. Joanne holds licenses in property, casualty, life and health in the State of Michigan. Additional health licenses are maintained in many states across the US. Joanne lives in Howell, MI with her five children and husband, Jeff. Contact her with your own Medicare questions or if you'd like her to speak with your clients, at an event, etc. Connect with Joanne Giardini-Russell: Email: joanne@boomerhealthgroup.com Website: https://www.boomerhealthgroup.com/ LinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgrstrategies/ Facebook URL: https://www.facebook.com/retireesolutions/ Connect with Jon Dwoskin: Website: http://jondwoskin.com/ Twitter: @jdwoskin Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonathan.dwoskin Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Thejondwoskinexperience/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jondwoskin/ Email: jon@jondwoskin.com
