Aussie Entrepreneur Kristie X Ord Bans Hard Selling At Leading Annual Business Event In Southern Hemisphere


Your crowd is sick. I am in the events business, and I know how hard it is to get this amount of people together with this level of passion. The only other energy similar to this is Mindvalley and that’s a huge compliment

Freedom Fest takes place on the Gold Coast, at the RACV Royal Pines Resort, from March 13-15th, with an optional, first come, first serve VIP day on the 12th.

Founded by self-made millionaire Kristie X Ord, this year’s event, themed “Activate The Millionaire You,” promises to “activate” the “version of you that is creating life and business with more fun, flow and abundance.” Tired of business-as-usual events and opportunities, Ord created Freedom Fest in 2018 as a way to showcase innovations in business and lifestyle design, and to position participants to be on the leading edge of “authentic leadership, peak performance, global impact, ultimate freedom and wealth consciousness.”

Close to being sold out, keynote speakers this year include Gaby Kowalski, Alex Tripod, ClickFunnels “2 Comma Club” award winners and social media experts Chris Stapleton and Landon Stewart, best selling author Preston Smiles, “Business Rockstars” host Mark Lack, and Ben Simkin, the “World’s #1 Facebook Marketer,” according to Huffington Post. “If participants are drawn to form connections with our speakers, and then from there they decide to collaborate with them, we certainly won’t stand in the way of that. It’s called networking. It’s called business. It’s called freedom,” says Ord.

According to Ord, Freedom Fest focuses exclusively on value and taking participants on a three-day journey to explore a higher version of themselves, aka “The Millionaire You.” Trending to be one of the fastest growing business immersion events in the Southern Hemisphere, its popularity is being attributed to the quality of the participants it attracts. “Your crowd is sick. I am in the events business, and I know how hard it is to get this amount of people together with this level of passion. The only other energy similar to this is Mindvalley and that’s a huge compliment,” added Australian celebrity entrepreneur Kerwin Rae, a keynote speaker from 2019.

Ord set out to create an annual business event categorically different to what’s typically available to rising entrepreneurs. As Brooke March, one of last year’s attendees confirmed, “It was not one of ‘those’ business events. I felt like I returned to myself when I was there.” Ord believes there is an exciting, yet limited window of opportunity for ambitious people to create wealth and success using transformation and online tools, such as social media. “We are in the hottest time right now to build an empire in the online space,” adds Ord.

  • The 2nd Annual Freedom Fest takes place on March 13th, 14th, and 15th at the RACV Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast, Australia
  • Keynote speakers include online celebrity leadership expert Preston Smiles and Facebook recognized global marketing expert Ben Simkin
  • Activities and workshops are designed to support the creation and expansion of online business empires


Founded by Kristie X Ord, Freedom Fest Global is an international business education company for online entrepreneurs. Through events like Freedom Fest, aspiring and growing entrepreneurs can access the latest knowledge and skill sets to achieve 6 figures, 7 figures, and beyond.

How To Get Cheever Car Insurance


News Image

“Car insurance companies can provide cheaper premiums and discounts. It is recommended to check what requirements are asked for the discounts offered by your current carrier. You may be surprised, some discounts are really easy to get”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that presents extremely useful money-saving tips for car insurance.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-make-car-insurance-rates-cheaper/

Car insurance costs can be really problematic for families with a tight budget or for persons considered “high-risk” drivers. But even for Standard and Preferred drivers, premiums can become more and more expensive with each renewal, until reaching a critical point when the driver will have to decide whether to stay or not with the current carrier. Before switching, consider the following tips. Also, drivers should get car insurance quotes online and compare prices. Visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com to get quotes from the best car insurance companies in the area!

  • Make sure to have all the info available when looking for quotes or policies. Knowing exact data about the car, driving history and coverage options will make a driver make smart selections and get access to discounts. Many online questionnaires ask specific questions that will allow drivers to get some discounts. One of the most common questions is related to annual mileage. If the driver approximates that he drives less than 12.000 miles/year, he can apply for a low-mileage discount. So, get all the useful documents nearby when shopping online.
  • Look for safety and custom parts sections. Some questionnaires have dedicated sections to custom parts and safety gear. For example, a driver may be asked if the car has anti-theft devices/GPS tracking devices. If the answer is “Yes”, he may qualify for a discount. Drivers with customized cars should look for sections that ask about the type of customization (fuel, engine, paint, TV/audio) and its value.
  • Enroll and graduate defensive driving courses. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to save money on car insurance on the medium-long term. Defensive driving courses are usually cheap. They not only improve a driver’s skills and knowledge about traffic hazards but also allow that person to apply for driver education discounts. Plus, having a diploma may offset some license points after the first traffic violation, thus helping to keep premiums low.
  • Set coverage and budget limits. Luckily, most car insurance websites allow drivers to get customized quotes. This means that a driver will initially get a quote, then he can modify some parameters and the new price will appear. Plus, the calculator can check for 6 months’ price. The driver can modify coverage limits and deductible until reaching a price he can afford.
  • Combine multiple vehicles or insurance services. Bundling insurance services comes with a great financial reward. In many cases, the discount for bundling car insurance with home, renters or condo coverage can be as high as 15%. Translated into actual money, this means several hundreds of dollars, all saved just by deciding to go with the same insurance provider.
  • Be honest. This may sound strange, but it may be one of the best ways to keep current coverage and even keep prices under control. Lying or providing misleading information to the carrier will backfire. Insurance companies do their own periodic checks. A client caught lying about accidents, traffic violations or named drivers will be either dropped or have his premiums dramatically increased.

What Happens If The Car Is Totaled


News Image

“If your car was involved in a crash and suffer major damage, it may be considered a total loss. In this case, the insurer will reimburse you for the Actual Cash Value”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

When it is too expensive to repair a damaged car, the insurance company declares it “totaled”. There are states where laws regulate when a car is considered totaled. For example, in Alabama, the threshold is 75%. That means that if the cost to repair the vehicle surpasses 75% value, the car is considered totaled. For more car insurance info and free quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/


  • The insurer will first send claim adjusters. They will check the status of the car. Claim adjusters are trained to assess the damage and correlate the repair costs with the current value. Claim adjusters have the authority to negotiate claim settlements. After evaluating the damage and costs, adjusters will give the final verdict, whether the car is a total loss, or it can still be repaired.
  • Insurers use ACV to determine if the car is a total loss or not. It is important to remember that insurance companies take into consideration value depreciation. This means that the value of the car will be the one at the moment of the accident. Not the value of a new car of the same model. That value is called ACV – Actual Cash Value. When they are uncertain about the current status, claim adjusters can ask for a 3rd party appraisal. They can ask dealers and car repair shops to approximate the car’s value.
  • After the market value was researched, the insurer will provide an offer to settle the claim. Companies use all sorts of websites and calculators, like Kelly Blue Book, to determine the ACV and make a total loss offer. It the offer seems too low, propose a counteroffer. But always bring arguments and proofs for the counteroffer.

Talage, a SaaS-based digital insurance platform, today announced that it has closed $5 million in Series A funding led by Merus Capital, with participation from Calibrate Ventures, WTI and Hallador Investment Advisors. All are existing investors, with the exception of Calibrate Ventures.

Founded in 2015 by Adam Kiefer, Matt Donovan and Zachary Draper, Talage’s platform enables small business owners to easily purchase essential commercial coverage from agents online. The SaaS-based software streamlines the manual and often tedious task of selling coverage, enabling significant cost and time savings for insurance agents.

The Talage platform is now live across the country, having sold over $1 million in insurance coverage to businesses in over 40 states via its solution.

The partnership further expanded Talage’s reach by offering a technically-savvy solution to agents of CompWest and Accident Fund for policy distribution.

“Talage offers forward-thinking technology that provides more advanced tools to enable our agent channels,” said Abel Travis, Vice President of Underwriting & Innovation at AF Group. “We believe that Insurtech will bring the most value when combined with our existing agents – allowing them to reach more clients digitally, in a space largely occupied by small business customers.”
