Chase Home Lending is dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve their dream of home ownership. They offer expert guidance throughout the home buying journey, helping customers navigate the process with confidence. This brings me back to a time when we grew up living upstairs from my aunt in a two family home that she owned and we rented and it was a wonderful time. But being a renter, we had to be extremely careful of what we did. For example, we had to be quiet at a certain time. We couldn't play on the front lawn, my sister couldn't have a dog. And we didn't realize the importance of being a homeowner until we got late in life. We always would talk to our dad about why we don't own a home and he talked about being house poor. Little did we know that homeownership was a great way to build equity. My sister and I ended up buying our own homes later in life and we used that to help pay for our kids college. And that is a way where homeownership can lead to future success. Chase Home Lending offers personalized support, expert knowledge and access to valuable resources helping home buyers navigate the complexities of getting a mortgage. Their guidance ensures buyers find a financial fit and make informed decisions. Visit chase.com start to see how Chase can support your homeownership journey. Member FDIC Equal Housing Opportunity this episode of IMO is brought to you by Cologuard, a Non Invasive Colon Cancer Screening test Currently, the American Cancer Society recommends that if you are at average risk, you should begin screening for colon cancer at age 45. There are an estimated 60 million adults aged 45 plus in America who are not up to date with their colon cancer screening. So we need to change that by spreading the word about another option. The Cologuard test can help you put your health first and feel more in control of your colon cancer screening process. This easy to use screening test is delivered right to your door and allows you to collect the sample comfortably at home on your own schedule. The sample is shipped back to the lab for testing and results are available within eight to 10 days. It's simple, but the best part about the Cologuard test is that it allows you to start screening for colon cancer without all the hassle of preparing for a colonoscopy so you don't have to prep the day before. And by prep, you know I mean fasting and drinking all that liquid. You get to skip the stress of having to request off work, go under anesthesia, get a ride home, and all the other hassles that come with an invasive procedure. And in addition to its convenience, Cologuard is also affordable. Most insured patients find they pay nothing out of pocket with zero downtime, no special preparation, and a screening test that's delivered right to your door. Let's start prioritizing our health. So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with the Cologuard test. You can also request a Cologuard prescription today@cologuard.com podcast. The Cologuard test is intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk for colorectal cancer. Do not use a Cologuard test if you have had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The Cologuard test is not a replacement for a colonoscopy in high risk patients. Cologuard test performance in adults ages 45 to 49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older, false positives and false negatives can occur. Cologuard is available by prescription only. Hey everyone, it's Craig Robinson, co host of the IMO podcast with Michelle Obama, and I wanted to take a minute to talk about something that I don't use usually. Talk about my garbage bin. The one in my kitchen. I almost never use it anymore, if you can believe that. So I never have to empty it. I don't have to smell it. That's because I found out about the Mill food recycler and let me tell you, this thing has changed my family's life. It's about the size and shape of a regular kitchen bin, but it's sleek and beautifully designed. But you treat it just like your regular kitchen bin, that is. You can add almost any food scraps, even the tough ones like avocado pits and chicken bones. Just drop them in and then you forget about it and let the mill do its work. My mill knows how much I add and it works while I sleep. I can keep filling it for weeks and it never smells during that whole time. Our mill turns all of those food scraps into clean, dry, nutrient rich grounds. And you can use them in your garden or you can do what we do and put the grounds in your flower beds and pots. They've done wonders for our plants. Mill will also pick up your grounds and deliver them to a small farm for you. But you have to live with the mill to really get it. Good thing you can try it risk free and get $75 off mil.com imo that's mill.com imo this back to school season. Spend less on your kids with Amazon. I remember when my wife Kelly and I would be running around to a million different stores chasing down spiral notebooks, lunchboxes and that one specific calculator that somehow every math teacher requires. And look, I love my kids, but I do not love fighting over the last pack of highlighters in a crowded store at 7pm on a Tuesday. That's why I love Amazon. Amazon has everything for back to school. Backpacks, pencils, clothes, snacks, and even those dry erase markers the teachers secretly hoard. All delivered fast right to my doorstep. One click. No stress.
