Built for Life Financial Agency Launches June 3 with Chain-Cutting Ceremony to Redefine Trust, Ownership, and Legacy in Finance
Annapolis, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Annapolis, Maryland – Built for Life Financial Agency (BFL), the new independent firm founded by retired Navy Chief and bestselling author Bill Korman, is officially launching June 3 at 6:30 PM with a powerful public chain-cutting ceremony at 147 Old Solomons Island Rd., Annapolis, MD 21401. The event marks the start of a bold national movement to help individuals break free from financial confusion and reclaim ownership of their time, money, and legacy. According to Gallup's 2024 institutional trust survey, only 26% of Americans express confidence in banks. With U.S. household debt reaching a record $17.5 trillion, Korman believes financial systems need a complete overhaul. Built for Life Financial Agency (BFL) is more than a traditional firm—it is a people-first, purpose-driven platform rooted in education, personalization, and long-term alignment. After years of operating under a corporate umbrella, BFL is now fully independent and free to serve families without restrictions. At the heart of the agency's philosophy is The 168 Game©, Korman's time ownership framework that helps individuals align their 168 weekly hours with their morals, values, and principles. 'Most people live paycheck to paycheck because unless they have been shown, they've never had the opportunity to truly own their time and their money—until now,' says Korman. BLF's vision is to be the #1 Company in the World that everyone compares themselves to regarding being the gold standard that other businesses and organizations aspire to and measure themselves against. BFL's approach is already making a difference. An early BFL client, Nancy Brace, shared, ' Built for Financial Agency is an agency with high integrity and quality agents. We have been extremely pleased with their professionalism and how they put the client's needs first. We were amazed at how they can help with so many areas of life, from savings to retirement to college planning and so much more. I am so thankful we were referred to them.' The June 3 launch event will feature a dramatic chain-cutting ceremony instead of the traditional ribbon-cutting, symbolizing freedom from financial bondage and legacy-limiting systems. The celebration will include live demonstrations of The 168 Game©, guest remarks, and on-site opportunities to sign up for free consultations and giveaways or to apply to join BFL's expanding national team. Confirmed speakers include community leaders, veterans, and financial literacy and equity advocates. BFL is more than a financial agency—it is a growing network of culturally attuned leaders. Korman, a first-generation American, is recruiting multilingual agents nationwide to better serve underserved communities. 'This isn't about translation. It's about transformation. We meet families where they are and empower them with the knowledge, respect, and clarity they've been denied for far too long,' Korman says. Built for Life Financial Agency offers consulting, insurance solutions, legacy, and retirement planning. Additionally, Korman provides technology support through Visionary Flow Solutions, its artificial intelligence (AI), development of business intelligence hubs, and CRM Systems. Korman says, 'The mission transcends transactions. We are more than a financial agency,' says Korman. 'We are a global movement helping people reclaim their time, take ownership of their wealth, and leave a legacy that outlives them.'

Korman learning on the links
It's been a year of improvements for Cala Korman. The golfer out of Killarney is back in Manitoba after completing her sophomore NCAA Division I season at Weber State University in Utah — and she's come in hot to kick off the 2025 Golf Manitoba championship season. It will be more of a quiet summer tournament-wise for Korman now that she's home, especially compared to her second year with the Weber State team, where she posted the second-best stroke average on the squad at 73.85 across 10 tournaments. She improved nearly two strokes from her freshman average of 75.44, placing in the top five twice and finishing in the top 10 in four events. One of those top-five performances was at the Fresno State Classic in March, where Korman set a program record with a 6-under-par 66 in the final round. She finished the tournament at 1-under 215, earning a fourth-place finish. GOLF MANITOBA PHOTO Cala Korman earned a bye to the quarterfinals of the Golf Manitoba Match Play Championships. 'My season in the spring was really good and I had a solid fall season,' said Korman. 'Overall, it's just fun being with the team and I did improve.' She ended the year by being named, along with two of her teammates, to the 2025 All-Big Sky Conference Second Team, going on to compete at the Wigwam Golf Resort in Arizona April 14–16 and helping the Wildcats secure a second-place finish, the best result for Weber State women's golf since 2001. 'I've gotten way more experience, and knowing that I have more tournaments to play and more opportunities helps lots,' said Korman. 'Just way less pressure, knowing that I'll have more chances and my seasons longer, it helps so much with the mental side.' Now, Korman is taking on the Golf Manitoba Match Play Championships, which are being held at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club this weekend. It's a tournament she has yet to win, but the young golfer is in a strong position after qualifying as the top seed with a 3-under par 68, one stroke clear of Niakwa's Jeri Lafleche. Korman, along with Lafleche and Clara Peake of Minnedosa, thanks to their qualifying placements, all earned automatic byes to the quarterfinals, which are set to go Saturday. 'I don't think there's one thing I'm fully focused on,' said Korman. 'I think if I just continue to stay patient and go for greens, fairways, and then two-putt.' Korman will play Hannah Diamond of St. Charles, who defeated Camryn Thomas on Day 1 of the tournament for the women on Friday. Another player to watch is Addison Kartusch of St. Charles, who is used to dominating the match play championships. Kartusch is looking for her third title in a row and fourth in the last five years. Coming off her freshman year at Bowling Green State University, Kartusch advanced to the quarterfinals on Friday, where she will face India Young. Lafleche is set to take on Charmaine Hayden of Breezy Bend, while Peake will play Jewel Lafleche, Jeri's sister and also of Niakwa. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. 'It's always fun coming back and just talking about our winters,' said Korman. 'This year, hearing about (Addison's) first year, and Jeri going to her school and Clara at her school. It's all fun to just reconnect and hear everything we missed.' Over on the men's side of things, a new champion will be crowned, as the 2024 winner, Marco Trstenjak of the host course, made it to the big leagues after turning pro this past winter. The quarterfinals, which tee off Saturday, will see No. 1 seed Evan Nachtigall of Shilo face Liam Comaskey of Pine Ridge, Niakwa's Michael Tanchak take on Grady Chuback of St. Charles, Jordy Lutz of Elmhurst play Lyle MacKenzie of Niakwa, and David Spurr of Elmhurst go up against fellow host-course member Kaleb Lambert. In the senior men's division, Rossmere's Rob Oliphant, the No. 1 seed, is playing David Powell of Elmhurst, Carl Lechman of Elmhurst is playing Blair Neal of Rossmere, Cornell Ruddock of Southwood faces Brad Moore of Pine Ridge, and Niakwa's Jay Doyle will meet Jason Groshak of Elmhurst.

73 arrested — including 21 kids — during Memorial Day weekend mayhem that closed popular Jersey Shore boardwalk
A spate of stabbings and fights led to the closure of a beloved boardwalk and the arrest of more than 70 people — including 21 minors — as tens of thousands of revelers descended upon the Jersey Shore for Memorial Day weekend, according to cops and reports. The violence unfolded during a 72-hour span that began early Friday and ended around 6 a.m. Monday in Seaside Heights, despite measures taken to prevent any issues after a similar bout of chaotic violence broke out over last year's long holiday weekend. Officers arrested 52 adults and 21 juveniles over the weekend, Seaside Heights Detective Steve Korman told Advertisement 4 Seaside Heights this past Memorial Day weekend was the site of mayhem as police had to make 73 arrests. Facebook/Assemblyman Paul Kanitra 4 Police making one of 73 arrests over Memorial Day weekend — 21 of them of kids. Facebook/Assemblyman Paul Kanitra All three of the young men who were stabbed within a block of the famed boardwalk refused to cooperate with investigators, so there were no arrests made, Korman told the outlet. Advertisement The popular two-mile stretch, which features two amusement piers, arcades and other attractions, was temporarily closed by Police Chief Thomas Boyd after the third stabbing just after midnight Monday in a 'proactive approach to ensure public safety,' Korman told the Asbury Park Press. It is not clear how long the boardwalk was closed to revelers. Among those arrested was a 21-year-old man from nearby Beachwood, who was collared after officers responded to a 911 call about a fight. He was charged with possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, resisting arrest and obstruction, police said. Amid the bedlam, a pedestrian in Seaside Park was struck by a car and taken by helicopter to a hospital, Korman told APP. Advertisement 4 A chaotic scene on the boardwalk in Seaside over the Memorial Day weekend. @njpatriotx/X Cops said that Seaside Heights welcomed an estimated 100,000 visitors over the Memorial Day weekend. 'The last few days have been mayhem in this town,' Sarah Frailey, who bartends at EJ's Tap House along the boardwalk, told the outlet. 4 Police officers making an arrest in Seaside. Facebook/Assemblyman Paul Kanitra Advertisement 'Kids were out of control. It's like the 'Jersey Shore' show.' An additional 100 police officers were deployed this year in an effort to prevent a repeat of last year's chaos, reported last week. Borough officials had coordinated a plan to include outside law enforcement if the crowds, especially teens and young adults, got too rowdy, Seaside Heights Mayor Tony Vaz told NJ Advance Media. Dozens were nabbed during last year's festivities in the Jersey Shore enclave, where a 15-year-old was stabbed during a brawl on the boardwalk. It was also closed briefly after what authorities called 'civil unrest' that caused a panicked crowd to sprint down exit ramps amid reports of shots being fired on the boardwalk.
