Thoughts on running

I read an article about how jogging is bad for your knees, lower back, ankles, calfs, etc. I have been running my whole and u don't think I can give it up.  The reason I say that is running for me is not about the workout but for the freedom of getting out of my head. By that I mean, I don't think about work, what happen the day before, what I have to do tomorrow. I have only the present and the present of the scenery I see as I run through the different terrain I decide for that day. I run for scenery, whether it's running on the boardwalk down at the beach, or through my town where farms rule the landscape. I usually leave at sunrise which makes it even more scenic. To watch deer feeding and horse galloping through the fields while the sunrises behind the landscape is pretty cool and surreal.  I know in a few years my knees may hurt a little more, but hopeful shoe technology will improve. As an end note, I have changed my running style to a mid step jog which has helped tremendously.

How to Choose the Right Skis

Skiing enthusiast Matthew Gaeta also enjoys golf, reading, and family time. When not on the slopes, Matthew Gaeta serves Unique Insurance Concepts, LLC, as a senior sales executive.  Many skiers share the misconception that one type of ski is perfect for everyone. As this is untrue, an intelligent ski purchasing decision requires a proper understanding of how to find the right fit.  The first major filter in finding skis is gender, as they are gender specific with skis for each sex designed to help the skier maintain balance in a different way. For the best performance, men should wear skis conceived for men, women skis tailored for women.  The next consideration is skill level. Skis intended for higher or lower skill levels compromise a skier’s ability to enjoy the slopes. The major difference between advanced- and beginner-level skis is stiffness. A stiffer ski is harder to control, but responds quicker, whereas a softer ski is easier to handle at slow speeds. When shopping for skis, consider your gender and skill level to narrow your search.

Matthew Gaeta: The Key Benefits of Great Customer Service

As a senior sales executive for Unique Insurance Concepts, LLC, Matthew Gaeta focused on complete satisfaction for every client. He has earned a number of professional awards and honors, such as being named to the Charles Schwab Chairman’s Club for six consecutive years. Matthew Gaeta is also involved in several local charities. Exceptional customer service is the backbone of any company, large or small, that hopes to build a loyal customer base. Word of mouth is almost always generated by quality customer service. Companies known as the "friendliest" and "easiest to deal with" enjoy much more long-term success. Companies that focus on customer service inspire loyalty in their customers. Quality customer service has an impact on employees, as well. Helping customers meet their needs facilitates pride in an employee’s work, and this boosts employee motivation. Unfortunately, employees often begrudgingly work at jobs they do not enjoy or for owners whose business practices are unappealing in order to make money. However, if an employee truly believes in the business and enjoys helping clients, both morale and productivity are almost certain to rise.

Matthew Gaeta: Accident Insurance Can Be Hard to Claim

Matthew Gaeta attended Clemson University, where he studied finance. He currently holds a number of certificates related to business and sales, highlighted by his Series 7 and Series 66 licenses. He holds additional licenses in property, causality, life, health, and accident insurance. Matthew Gaeta most recently worked as a senior sales executive at Unique Insurance Concepts, LLC. While most homeowners, parents, and forward thinking adults sign up for accident insurance, they may not be aware of an unfortunate truth about these policies. Some insurance companies go to extremes to avoid paying accident claims. The most common accident and injury claims are made after car accidents when one driver is typically clearly at fault. This leads most people to assume the claim is a fairly straightforward process. Instead, certain insurance companies engage in five questionable practices to delay claims or prevent them from being paid at all. These insurance companies may initially make a low settlement offer in hopes that the injured person accepts it without question. Frustration is another tactic that is a common practice for insurance companies, who hope a long wait forces a claimant to give in and accept whatever deal is on the table. Some insurance companies cite pre-existing medical conditions as the actual cause of ongoing pain and claim the accident itself is not a factor. Devaluing injuries or damaged property are further acts insurance companies take to avoid or minimize payments. Consumers are encouraged to search diligently for quality insurance companies in order to avoid these shady practices.
