    Trevor Maxwell lived the archetype of masculinity in rural Maine. Big, strong, splitting wood, raising kids, and carrying the load. Then cancer ripped that script apart. In 2018 he was bedridden, emasculated, ashamed, and convinced his family would be better off without him. His wife refused to let him disappear. That moment forced Trevor to face his depression, get help, and rebuild himself. Out of that came Man Up To Cancer, now the largest community for men with cancer, a place where men stop pretending they are bulletproof and start being honest with each other.Eric Charsky joins the conversation. A veteran with five cancers, forty-nine surgeries, and the scars to prove it, Eric lays out what happens when the military's invincible mindset collides with mortality. Together, we talk masculinity, vulnerability, sex, shame, and survival.

    Outsourcing my insurance billing and A/R has been one of the best decisions I have made for my practice. I recently started using a new company called Pedo Billing to help me with this. They have helped me collect thousands of dollars in outstanding claims (including Medicaid claims) that we have been fighting for months to get paid. Pedo Billing only works with pediatric dentists, so I invited their lead sales associate Nathan Petke to come on the podcast to tell me more about their company. Some things we discuss:- Why they only work with pediatric dentists- How they are able to charge 2.5% when the industry standard is 3-3.5%- Why the old way of submitting claims with paper checks and EOBs is quickly becoming outdated- How often problem claims should be followed-up on- The benefits of having a team of experienced billers working on your insurance claims- How outsourcing frees up time for your staff to focus on scheduling and better patient careYou can learn more about Pedo Billing at www.pedobilling.com

    In this episode of All Things Wildfire, OP Almaraz sits down with returning guest Diane Delaney, with Private Risk Management Association (PRMA), to unpack what the insurance industry has learned one year after the Palisades wildfire—and what must change going forward. Drawing from PRMA's nationwide survey of high-net-worth homeowners, Diane reveals a striking disconnect: while over 95% of respondents say they feel confident in their insurance coverage, nearly 70% fear exclusions and gaps at the time of claim. This gap has become painfully clear in catastrophe-prone regions like California, where wildfires, wind-driven embers, and insurance non-renewals are forcing homeowners and brokers alike to rethink how insurance is used. The conversation explores why insurance can no longer be treated as a commodity, and why brokers must evolve into true risk management advisors—having ongoing, consultative conversations that address lifestyle changes, life stages, and worst-case scenarios. From wildfire mitigation and water-leak detection systems to rebuilding realities and self-insurance risks, this episode highlights how proactive planning can protect not just property—but livelihoods and peace of mind. Diane also shares how PRMA is investing in education, learning tracks, and AI-powered role-play tools to help brokers sharpen difficult conversations around rate increases, coverage gaps, and resiliency. Together, OP and Diane emphasize a central message: you either invest in resilience early, or you pay far more later when disaster strikes. Key Highlight 95% vs. 70% disconnect: Homeowners feel confident in coverage—yet fear exclusions when claims happen Why insurance doesn't protect your lifestyle unless it's designed to How wildfires exposed major gaps in homeowner understanding during real-time claims Why brokers must shift from transactional sales to ongoing consultative partnerships Real wildfire and water-damage stories that show the true cost of being under-prepared The growing importance of leak detection devices, mitigation, and prevention tools Why insurance should be viewed as catastrophic protection—not home maintenance How PRMA is modernizing broker education with learning tracks and AI role-play tools Why resilience investments feel expensive—until disaster makes them unavoidable In This Episode: What one year after the Palisades wildfire has revealed about insurance gaps Insights from PRMA's nationwide survey of high-net-worth homeowners Why many insured homeowners still feel unprotected at claim time How wildfire, flood, wind, and water risks intersect Why prevention and mitigation improve insurability—not just safety The emotional and financial toll of rebuilding after catastrophe How brokers can deliver real value in a hard insurance market PRMA's 2026 initiatives: learning tracks, education, and AI-based coaching Key Takeaway: Insurance works best before disaster strikes. When homeowners, brokers, and carriers collaborate proactively—focusing on resilience, communication, and realistic expectations—insurance becomes a powerful tool instead of a painful surprise.

    Thousands of Californians who lost their homes in devastating wildfires nearly a year ago are still waiting to rebuild. Insurance gaps, infrastructure delays, and red tape have slowed the process for many families trying to regain a sense of normalcy. For many homeowners, a new deadline is approaching as mortgage forbearance periods expire—raising the prospect of making payments on homes that no longer exist, while they continue to pay rent and shoulder other costs associated with being displaced. Rachel Jonas and Rob Fagnani, who lost their Pacific Palisades home in the fire, recently joined the Rundown's Jessica Rosenthal to explain the challenges their community is facing and why they launched DisasterMortgageRelief.com, a website dedicated to helping victims of last year's wildfires and other natural disasters. They detail the urgent need for disaster mortgage relief and explain why families like theirs should not be punished for trying to rebuild their communities after fires, floods, storms, and other catastrophes. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.

    Thousands of Californians who lost their homes in devastating wildfires nearly a year ago are still waiting to rebuild. Insurance gaps, infrastructure delays, and red tape have slowed the process for many families trying to regain a sense of normalcy. For many homeowners, a new deadline is approaching as mortgage forbearance periods expire—raising the prospect of making payments on homes that no longer exist, while they continue to pay rent and shoulder other costs associated with being displaced. Rachel Jonas and Rob Fagnani, who lost their Pacific Palisades home in the fire, recently joined the Rundown's Jessica Rosenthal to explain the challenges their community is facing and why they launched DisasterMortgageRelief.com, a website dedicated to helping victims of last year's wildfires and other natural disasters. They detail the urgent need for disaster mortgage relief and explain why families like theirs should not be punished for trying to rebuild their communities after fires, floods, storms, and other catastrophes. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we're sharing our complete interview with DisasterMortgageRelief.com founders Rachel Jonas and Rob Fagnani, where you'll learn more about rebuilding efforts in California—and why they hope to provide more tools and hope for disaster victims nationwide.

    Many philosophers have contemplated the inevitability of death and taxes. But despite knowing both are coming, most people avoid planning for either until it's too late. What happens when you die without a proper estate plan? What's the difference between a will and a trust? And why does the government already have an estate plan for you—whether you like it or not?This episode tackles estate planning head-on. Hans walks through the foundational concepts from his CLU coursework while Brian shares the painful reality of navigating Pennsylvania's probate system after losing his mother. The contrast is striking: life insurance proceeds arrived within a week, tax-free and hassle-free. Everything else? A year-long nightmare involving shyster attorneys, arbitrary timelines, and a state government eager to collect its pound of flesh.The episode also addresses a critical oversight many families make: naming minor children as contingent beneficiaries on life insurance policies. Insurance companies cannot pay minors directly, which reintroduces the exact inefficiencies you were trying to avoid. One possible solution? Establish a trust and name it as your contingent beneficiary.Chapters:00:00 – Opening segment02:00 – Why estate planning matters for everyone03:30 – Brian's probate experience in Pennsylvania07:30 – The one-year waiting period and attorney fees11:45 – Life insurance: the easiest transfer by far15:00 – Definition of estate planning: accumulate, manage, conserve, transfer17:30 – Effective vs. efficient transfers explained19:45 – The three places your assets can go24:00 – Federal estate tax: 40% above the exemption29:00 – The five-year thought exercise37:00 – Minor children as beneficiaries: the hidden problem43:30 – What would change if you had five years left?54:00 – Heritage over inheritance: passing down more than money59:05 - Closing SegmentKey Takeaways:You Already Have an Estate Plan: If you haven't created one, the government has a default plan for you—and it prioritizes creditors and bureaucratic process over your family's needs.A Will Is Not Enough: Wills direct the probate court on asset distribution, but assets still go through a lengthy, costly, public legal process. Trusts bypass probate entirely.Life Insurance Skips the Mess: Death benefits transfer directly to beneficiaries, tax-free, within days—no court involvement, no waiting periods, no attorney fees.Don't Name Minors as Beneficiaries: Insurance companies cannot pay children directly. Name a trust as your contingent beneficiary to maintain efficiency and control.The Five-Year Exercise Changes Everything: If you knew your exact death date, your priorities would shift immediately. Use that clarity now—maximize protection, spend time with family, stop deferring what matters.Estate Planning Is for the Living: Half of estate planning—accumulation and management—happens while you're alive.

Instead, Don and Tom argue that good portfolios are built by eliminating what doesn't belong: actively managed funds, sector ETFs, alternatives, high-yield bonds, gold, and other distractions that add complexity without purpose. Drawing on a Morningstar column by Amy Arnott, they reinforce that most investing mistakes come from chasing performance rather than embracing simplicity and discipline. The show also tackles listener questions on retirement “bucket” strategies, rebalancing timing, Dimensional fund structure, and annuities—emphasizing that bonds exist for stability, cash should be limited and intentional, and any strategy must be personal, rules-based, and boring enough to actually work. 0:04 Opening banter, Apple censoring Tom's name, and the beige pudding world 1:12 Bitcoin critics, one-star reviews, and a bad 2025 for crypto 2:03 Core idea: good investing is about elimination, not prediction 2:56 Amy Arnott and the case against active management 4:07 Why past winners usually become future losers 5:28 REITs, once useful, now mostly redundant 6:01 Sector funds as performance-chasing traps 8:19 Alternatives, I Bonds, and junk bonds—complexity without payoff 10:04 Bonds explained properly: stability, not income or excitement 11:14 Gold (and Bitcoin) as non-productive speculation 13:21 Simplify first and portfolios become easier—and calmer 15:05 Retirement bucket strategy: where it helps and where it hurts 18:48 Cash as an emergency tool, not a long-term holding 21:04 MYGA annuities, safety trade-offs, and insurer risk 29:04 Insurance failures as cautionary history 31:04 DFAW explained: Core Equity 1 vs Core Equity 2 35:53 Rebalancing discipline: timing beats tinkering 39:11 Final reminder: stop watching your portfolio so much Learn more about your ad choices.

    Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Dr. Kurt IG: higherpowersportpt What if getting “cleared” isn't even close to ready? We sit down with sports physical therapist Dr. Kessler to break down the real differences between insurance-based clinics and cash-based care—and why that gap can decide whether you return to sport strong or stuck at 70 percent. Instead of chasing codes and cramming notes, we dig into longer one-on-one sessions, meaningful assessments, and exercise dosing that actually moves the needle.Dr. Kessler takes us behind the curtain of residency training, board exams, and the daily reality of high-volume clinics where documentation dictates decisions. We compare insurance goals—basic independence and ADLs—to athletic goals like sprinting, cutting, and lifting heavy. You'll hear how test item clusters beat one-off special tests, why movement is medicine only when dosed right, and how to build capacity by targeting the real “why” behind pain. Hip pain in front? We talk posterior capsule, loading strategy, and the difference between protocols and problem-solving.We also get practical about collaboration. Trainers who speak anatomy and program progressive overload can carry clients from pain-free to peak performance, while PTs who respect performance training build stronger, safer handoffs. Together, that ecosystem prevents re-injury and measures what matters: side-to-side strength, rate of force development, and readiness to play. We close with honest talk on sales, marketing, and education gaps that hold both fields back—and the simple fixes that raise the bar for everyone.If you're serious about better outcomes, stronger returns to sport, and a smarter PT–trainer alliance, this conversation will give you the playbook.

    Steve Ferguson shares how his passion for cars started in childhood, fueled by a neighbor who gave him car magazines from around the world. Steve recalls how his love for automotive performance led him to owning a 1993 Dodge Viper, founding the Viper Club of America, and instructing others in high-performance driving across legendary racetracks in the U.S. He describes memorable experiences, like clocking 186 mph in a Viper and teaching the drummer of Smashing Pumpkins, Jimmy Chamberlin, to drive his Ferrari. Steve also talks about his enthusiasm for scuba diving, his loyalty to the Dallas Cowboys, and a lifelong love of ice cream. He discusses why sharing personal interests at work matters, saying it makes people memorable and brings excitement into professional environments. Steve encourages listeners to embrace their "And" stories, believing openness and authenticity foster better relationships and workplace culture. Episode Highlights · Steve Ferguson's love for cars, specifically his experience with the Dodge Viper, played a huge role in shaping his career, personal drive, and the founding of the Viper Club of America. · He uses personal stories and interests to stand out and be remembered in professional settings, believing that sharing your "And" helps build stronger connections. · Steve Ferguson advocates for being open about personal passions and experiences, saying that it leads to more genuine relationships. Even if some people aren't interested, those who are will remember you. · He stresses that company leadership should actively encourage employees to share personal interests, as it creates a more engaged, caring, and high-quality company culture. · High-performance driving, scuba diving, and snowmobiling are more than hobbies for Steve Ferguson. They provide adrenaline, focus, and a reprieve from his highly social work life, which he says makes him feel "freer as a person."

    Part 3 is where the conversation takes a sharp turn into the mechanics of power. We start with Josh asking the uncomfortable question: if PSA can decertify slabs selectively, what happens when they own Beckett too? From there, it spirals into the real stuff collectors argue about behind the scenes but rarely say out loud. This episode is part hobby debate, part reality check, and part rant. It also includes one of the most memorable analogies of the entire emergency stream: PSA upcharges as “insurance premiums” paid by someone else. Highlights in Part 3 include: The decertification question: what PSA can do, what they won't do, and why it matters The real concern: what happens to Beckett slabs if the brand is sunsetted Why job cuts at Beckett are basically guaranteed if Collectors is building toward an IPO Will submissions slow down, or does demand stay bulletproof no matter what happens A blunt take on phantom POPs, resubmissions, and why pop reports mislead collectors The PSA upcharge rant: who pays, who benefits, and why the buyer wins Whether standardization in grading would help collectors or expose the whole system Registry culture, resale pressure, and why many collectors chase holders over cards The future question: machine-driven grading, consistency, and what it could do to premiums The Black Label premium debate and why some buyers pay like the number is the card The punchline: grading isn't a scam, but it can still be a sham Part 3 is where the episode stops being about “PSA bought Beckett” and becomes a broader argument about what grading has turned the hobby into.

    You can have up to five LinkedIn newsletters.But just because you can doesn't mean you should.This is where a lot of people get tripped up.In this episode, I explained why I do not recommend running multiple LinkedIn newsletters for most people. More newsletters do not equal more authority. In many cases, they actually dilute it.There is only one scenario where I would suggest having more than one newsletter:When you serve clearly split demographics with clearly split problems.For example:One audience is current and former military professionals focused on financial benefits.Another audience is small business owners focused on insurance benefits.Those are two completely different conversations. Different needs. Different language. Different outcomes.In a case like that, running two newsletters can make sense.Here's how it should work if you ever go this route:One newsletter is dedicated solely to financial benefits for military professionals.The second newsletter is dedicated solely to insurance benefits for small business owners.You then create a bi-weekly cadence so you are not overwhelming yourself or your audience.Example schedule:• Finance newsletter goes out weeks one and three• Insurance newsletter goes out weeks two and fourThat structure keeps your content focused, consistent, and intentional.But here's the key point I want to be very clear about:Before you even think about launching a second or third LinkedIn newsletter, you should fully optimize your first one.That means:• A clear audience• A clear promise• Consistent publishing• Strong positioning• A purpose beyond “just posting content.”One strong newsletter will outperform five unfocused ones every time.Master one. Build momentum. Then and only then decide if expanding actually serves your audience and your business.Clarity beats complexity.
