Why Boomer Esiason? A Trusted Voice for Families

Boomer Esiason is known for his career as an NFL quarterback and longtime sports broadcaster, but his perspective on life insurance is shaped by personal experience. When he was seven years old, his mother passed away from cancer at age 37, an event that had a lasting impact on how he thinks about planning for the future.

He has spoken openly about how suddenly life can change for a family and how financial protection can help provide stability during difficult times. That experience brings a thoughtful and relatable voice to the video, helping frame life insurance as a practical topic rather than an overwhelming one.

This perspective aligns closely with Ethos’ focus on clarity and informed decision-making.

What the Video Communicates

The video focuses on how life insurance can be accessed through a fully online process that can be completed in minutes, by just answering a few health questions and without the need for a medical exam. It emphasizes clarity and transparency rather than technical detail.

Key themes include:

• Reducing confusion around how life insurance works
• Presenting a streamlined, digital experience that reflects how people manage finances today
• Removing common barriers such as paperwork and unnecessary steps
