We had the good fortune of connecting with Ruffin Consulting Services and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ruffin Consulting Services, career-wise, where do you want to be in the end?
A great leader always begins with the end in mind. The end goal for Ruffin Consulting Services is to be a global household name known for successfully changing the narrative of life insurance from a death benefit to a wealth benefit. Life insurance has always been thought of as a death topic, but Ruffin Consulting Services is on a specific mission to change the perception of life insurance to a wealth topic. Life insurance will no longer be the financial tool in your estate and financial plan that consumers delay planning but consumers will be excited to talk about life insurance, legacy and how their decision will not only create generational wealth but sustain wealth across many generations. Ruffin Consulting Services is aligned with the end goal through seeking to understand the educational gaps in life insurance and filling the gaps with accurate, easy to understand life insurance educational tools.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Ebony Ruffin’s, founder of Ruffin Consulting Services, passion for financial consulting developed as she traveled the world as the daughter of an active-duty military parent in the U.S. Army.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Ohhh so I am the perfect woman for this question. I am often referred to as Buckhead Ebony within my social group. If my bestie visited for a week, the visit would go a little something like this. Saturday arrive to my oasis where I will have fresh salad, hors d’oeuvres, a fresh candle lit and a wine selection from Castello di Amorosa awaiting for her enjoyment. We will start with great conversation, food and wine and then head off to the spa mansion at Chateau Elan. After the spa, we will return home to get fancy for dinner at La Grotta. After La Grotta we will enjoy evening tunes at Le Colonial or The Garden Room ATL. The next day, Sunday, we will wake up and enjoy a morning walk to Brash Coffee. After coffee and a morning walk, we will head over to Bobby Jones Golf Course to swing a few balls at the driving range and enjoy a bite at Boone’s. If my golf team members are up to it, I would more than likely ask them to play nine holes with us. After golf, dinner will be at Pricci Buckhead or Yebo Beach Haus. Monday and Tuesday will be a day out in Midtown and West Midtown. We will enjoy dining, High Museum of Art, Piedmont Park, the Beltline, The Painted Duck, Puttshack and Rooftop L.O.A. Wednesday will be a drop in yoga class at CorePower Yoga and then Flowerchild for a healthy bite. Thursday will be a lovely evening at the Botanical Gardens and then dinner at Cafe Intermezzo Midtown. This is the perfect place for delicious food and the best people watching. Last but not least on Friday, we will enjoy a nice walk at Chastain Park in the morning and then walk to The Chastain for Brash coffee and lite bites. Throughout the day on Friday we will layout at the pool and enjoy dinner at home. I will actually cook this day. My favorite meal to prepare is stewed whole red snapper. Saturday we will enjoy a delicious cup of coffee from Brash before my Bestie departs for home.
