Michael Wills spent a decade as a front-line paramedic in Ontario, reading risk before anyone else in the room saw it. Then, in 2013, critical illness found him personally: a separation, his then-wife’s cancer diagnosis, and his own PTSD diagnosis, all at once. Now Director of Business Development at PPI, Michael coaches advisors across Canada to make critical illness a natural part of every planning conversation. Only 1 in 20 people in Canada have critical illness protection. Michael’s take: it’s not a product gap, it’s a conversation gap — and in this session, he shows you how to close it.
