 Attorney Troy Schneider works out of Chilton, WI. When you think of tools on the farm, you may think of tractors, robotic milkers or a fence post driver. Well add prenup to the list. That's right, a prenuptial agreement can be a tool to protect the farm's legacy when the unspeakable happens -- a marriage is terminated in the event of a death or a divorce. Attorney Troy Schneider out of Chilton, Wisconsin says the conversation about a prenup tends to start out negative. But it doesn't have to. A prenuptial agreement is an agreement between a husband and wife about how they wish to classify their property under marital laws. He says it's especially important for farms. Early adopters, that's one way to describe the Prange (Prang-ee) family when it comes to farm technology, crop management and livestock genetics. Louis Prange is the third generation on his family's farm in Sheboygan County. His grandfather bought the farm in 1910. His father pioneered crop management techniques and forage breeding. And Louis dove into the field of genetics with dairy breeds. But each generation had a difference of opinion on what direction the farm should go. The moral of the story is -- despite the head butting, each generation kept the farm moving forward. The holidays can be a lonely time for many people.  Pam Jahnke visits with Amber Miller, Assoc. State Director of Community Outreach with AARP Wisconsin  She describes tools and support mechanisms available to help combat loneliness and grief during the holidays.  Paid for by AARP Wisconsin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who says it's too late to be talking about horror?  In this month's episode, Pete and Amber explore how death, dying, and funerals are depicted in the media. Amber, with her penchant for horror movies, offers a unique perspective, revealing the dual aspects of death in cinematic and television narratives—between the gruesome and the serene. As the conversation unfolds, the duo delves deeper into the accuracy of these portrayals. Amber underscores the profound impact these depictions can have on people's perceptions of death, particularly when so few have first-hand exposure to its unadorned reality.  They dissect how classic shows like CSI and Grey's Anatomy amplify the drama, from gripping emergency room scenes to intriguing portrayals of funeral directors in forensic television. The discussion then seamlessly transitions to the big screen, with the mention of iconic titles such as "My Girl," "The Shining," and "Harold and Maude." They also explore the depth of research in modern TV productions, unveiling how these programs meticulously detail the workings of real-life processes. This episode offers a thought-provoking analysis of the evolving media landscape's portrayal of death, and an eye-opening exploration for those curious about how shows and films shape our understanding of mortality. Takeaways: From the dualities of gruesome and serene portrayals to the dramatization in TV shows, it's evident that media plays a pivotal role in shaping our understanding of these subjects. Understanding this influence is crucial for individuals seeking a more nuanced and realistic perspective on death. In this episode: [1:55] Pete kicks off the episode by introducing the month's topic–how death, dying, and funerals are portrayed in the media. Horror movie junkie, Amber, talks about the dual perspectives of death in shows and movies: the gruesome and the serene. [4:40] Pete and Amber delve into the accuracy of the violent and horror portrayals of death. Amber reiterates how these depictions can be impactful in shaping people's perception of death, especially with how very few are exposed to its realities. [6:49] The duo talk about all-time favorite TV shows such as CSI and Grey's Anatomy. They explore the dramatized portrayal of most scenes in these shows, from the intense emergency room moments to how funeral directors are depicted in forensic TV. [10:28] From My Girl, to The Shining, Harold and Maude, and more–Pete and Amber transition to movies and compare their impact versus TV shows that are built for weekly episodes and cliffhangers. [15:53] Amber and Pete talk about modern day TV productions and the depth of their research on how the processes actually work. They also address the impact of hyper transparency in these shows on how families perceive critical issues such as terminal diagnosis and surgeries. Resources: O'Connell Funeral Homes Amber Miller Read Show Transcript Quotes “The realities of deaths are behind closed doors…So, if our only experience with death is what we see on the media, then we assume that's what it is in natural life. And when we actually have a natural experience with death in our real life, we have this disconnect–we expect one thing, we see another thing and it turns into something altogether different.” - Amber Miller

Grieving the loss of a loved one is a deep and difficult challenge at any time. The holiday season can magnify our sense of loss and sorrow. Seasonal events can be painful reminders of the absence of loved ones. At the same time, they can also be comforting rituals where we connect with family and friends, focusing on good memories and trying to recapture our sense of joy. Amber Miller, Associate State Director of Community Outreach for AARP of Wisconsin, visits with Pam Jahnke about some of the available resources individuals and families should be aware of going into the holidays. Miller highlights 9 different items that individual and families should keep in mind, acknowledging that every individual handles grief differently. Miller reminds everyone, whether an AARP member or not, about the AARP Friendly Voice service.  This tollfree number connects anyone age 18 and older with an AARP volunteer that can listen and help.  888-281-0145.  She also reminds people that they can call 2-1-1 for additional assistance.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Sustainably Influenced. Today, we're delving into the world of sustainable finance and the role of blockchain in reshaping investment and funding practices. You will learn about the tokenization of green assets, carbon credit markets, and impact investing driven by blockchain-based platforms. When we talk about the role of blockchain in sustainable finance, it's essential to understand that it operates on three distinct layers. The first layer involves tokenization, where assets like renewable energy projects, sustainable real estate, or green bonds are converted into digital tokens. This process makes it easier to divide and trade ownership in these assets.Today's guest is Ilana Milkes Espinosa - an entrepreneur and designer currently focused on democratising access to environmental markets & climate investing with Selva Wild.
