Inspiring Your People to a Healthy Life
Inspiring Your People to a Healthy Life
I was speaking at a MetLife meeting. In the event brochure, next to my picture and program description, was a listing for Joel, another speaker. He was a financial planner who was a top producer. His photo showed him on his sailboat doing what he loved most when he wasn’t on the job. But Joel didn’t make it to that meeting. He died one week before from a heart attack. He left a wife and two children. Joel was just 44.
Jeremy was a managing director at JP Morgan Chase. With time at Bear Stearns he had a combined career of 17 years. But he was more than just his career success. He was one of the good guys. He had a personal passion for helping young people struggling with cancer. He was on the board of a non-profit that gave grants to young people getting on with life after they beat the disease. Ironically, Jeremy died from melanoma at 43.
Rob was in financial services his entire life. He was a bank branch manager, a mortgage loan officer, a commercial loan officer, and a top producer. He was also a fitness nut and personal trainer “just for fun.” One day, he felt some chest pain while running. After three separate occasions, he finally saw a cardiologist. Turns out he had a 99% blockage in his heart’s “widow maker.” Rob got lucky. He was 51 when they put a stent put in.
In this 60-90 minute program, David Meinz addresses critical aspects of what it takes to personally maximize the health and quality of life for financial services professionals.
David Meinz, MS, RDN, FAND, CSP, speaks internationally on the topic of health and productivity and is a regular guest on radio and television. David shows people how to add quality years to their lives through his informative and fun programs.
David's keynote and new book "Wealthy, Healthy, & Wise: How Financial Services Professionals Can Make Sure Their Health Lasts As Long As Their Money Does" have been receiving great reviews.
“One of our advisors died from an unexpected heart attack one week before our event. He was too young. David’s program was exactly what our group needed to hear. I believe he helped us prevent that from ever happening again. I highly recommend David for one of your upcoming meetings.”
Carl Olson, Managing Partner, Premier Client Group of the Pacific, MetLife

"At a recent luncheon hosted by senior bank executives for business owners and centers of influence from across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, guests filled A SOLD-OUT ROOM to hear one of the most impactful presentations of its kind! David Meinz delivered nothing short of a first-class, humorous twist on a content rich program entitled “Wealthy, Healthy, and Wise.” Our guests left motivated and eager to apply what they learned, and hopeful to have an opportunity to hear him again.”
