The Dirty Dozen of Estate Planning: Are you making costly estate planning mistakes without realizing it? Jon Penn and Estate Attorney Russ Newton break down the most common errors people make when creating wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and charitable gifting strategies.

Chandler Levack is another of the current class of talented Candian ladies directing fresh, original cinema. Her latest is MILE END KICKS (starring Barbie Ferreira)…and, at the same moment, ROOMMATES, a Happy Madison film starring Sadie Sandler. And she memorably broke onto screen with festival darling I LIKE MOVIES. She joins Jordan to give us a fresh look at our show's most relatable multi-hyphenate, Greta Gerwig. Chandler tells stories inspired by the desire to revisit her own history, and the result (like FRANCES HA or LADYBIRD for Gerwig) is somehow universally relatable.  Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a little movie that could called Blind Cop 2 (read her feature about it from The Action Desk!)

Imagine if a quarter of our country suddenly had to flee their homes—unsure where they would sleep, how they would eat, or what tomorrow might bring. That is the kind of crisis many families in Lebanon are facing today. Innocent men, women, and children are caught in the middle of another humanitarian disaster, and the needs are urgent. But even in the pain and uncertainty, God is opening doors for His people to bring practical help and the hope of Christ. This quarter, FaithFi is partnering with Heart for Lebanon, a trusted ministry serving families on the ground with food, shelter, trauma care, and gospel-centered support. Camille Melki, co-founder and CEO of Heart for Lebanon, joined us today to share what families are experiencing—and how believers can respond. A Ministry Born in Crisis Camille knows the pain of war personally. He was just nine years old when Lebanon's brutal 15-year civil war began in 1975. His wife, Hoda, was eight. Decades later, in 2006, another conflict led them to launch Heart for Lebanon. The mission was clear from the beginning: to move people from despair to hope in Christ. Today, Lebanon's situation remains complicated and heartbreaking. Families from different religious and ethnic backgrounds are being displaced and forced into unfamiliar communities. Many have lost homes, loved ones, and any sense of security. Yet Camille sees something else as well: a bold opportunity to share the gospel with people who may never have had access to it before. As he put it, while innocent civilians continue to pay the highest price, “the mission of the church is still the same.” Families Facing Fear, Loss, and Trauma Many families in Lebanon have been displaced more than once. They are living with broken infrastructure, overwhelmed systems, and the emotional weight of war. Children, especially, are carrying deep trauma from what they have seen and heard. Camille shared the story of Gaia, a woman from Syria who had fled war with her husband and daughter and settled in southern Lebanon. She and her family came to faith through Heart for Lebanon's Hope Evangelical Church. Then the violence reached their neighborhood. Gaia had just spoken with her neighbors before lunch. Minutes later, those neighbors were killed in attacks. Her home was badly damaged, and she and her husband—who is terminally ill with cancer—were injured. When Heart for Lebanon's team finally reconnected with Gaia, and she was able to return to church, she said that hearing the Word of God made the heavy burden on her heart feel lighter. The fear had not disappeared completely, but she no longer felt alone. Through Heart for Lebanon, she experienced the tangible love of Christ. Caring for Children in the Shadows of War Heart for Lebanon also works with children through its Children at Risk programs. One of the ministry's leaders, Freddy, described how thousands of children are living in the shadows of war. Hallways once meant for learning have become shelters. Children have seen things no child should ever have to witness. The ministry responds with trauma-informed care through play, art, listening, and prayer. The goal is not merely to provide temporary relief, but to help children process fear and experience the peace of Christ. Camille shared the story of Ahmad, a 10-year-old Kurdish boy living in Lebanon with his parents, who recently came to know the love and hope found in Jesus. The sounds of rockets and explosions filled Ahmad with fear, especially for his 10-month-old brother. Whenever he heard missiles nearby, he would try to protect the baby with his small hands. His mother encouraged him through God's promises and prayed with him. Ahmad said he still sometimes remembers the sounds, but now he prays instead of panicking. Remembering that Jesus is with him helps him feel safer. Camille also shared that Yasmin, a third-grade student, did not miss a single day of prayer during the war. She prayed for her younger siblings and reminded them of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection. Her faith helped her encourage others in the middle of fear. Meeting Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Needs One of the distinctives of Heart for Lebanon is its commitment to care for the whole person. Camille explained that poverty exists on three levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual. That means the ministry provides essentials such as food packages, mattresses, pillows, blankets, and hygiene kits. But those physical gifts are only the beginning. Heart for Lebanon's team also takes time to listen to families' stories, pray with them, share Scripture, and build relationships of trust. Camille described this movement as going from transactional care to relational care—and then to transformational care. When trust is built, the door opens for gospel conversations. Families who have never heard the good news of Jesus are introduced to the hope found in Him. Many come from Muslim backgrounds—Kurds, Sunnis, and Shias—but Camille emphasized that what matters most is not who they were before Christ, but who they are in Him. How Your Gift Can Help Heart for Lebanon is currently serving more than 2,000 displaced families, many of whom were forced from their homes in southern Lebanon. A gift of $90 can help provide a full month of support for one displaced family, including food, bedding, hygiene supplies, compassionate care, and gospel-centered support. FaithFi's goal is to help reach 275 displaced families. A gift of $180 could help two families. A gift of $450 could help five. This is a meaningful opportunity to serve families who have lost nearly everything and to help open the door to lasting hope in Christ. To give, text FAITH to 98656, or visit FaithFi.com/Lebanon. A Time to Give Generously In times of crisis, the church has an opportunity to become a living witness to the compassion of Christ. Families in Lebanon need food, shelter, safety, and care—but above all, they need the hope of the gospel. Through Heart for Lebanon, believers can help meet urgent needs while pointing families to the One who never leaves or forsakes His people. Give generously today at FaithFi.com/Lebanon. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I have property in South Carolina that I'd like to sell, and I'm looking for a Christian realtor to help. After the sale, I'd like to give about 90% of the proceeds to charity. Who would you recommend to help me handle this wisely? I have investments and a financial advisor, and we're meeting soon. I heard you discuss aligning investments with biblical values. Where can I find a resource to help me evaluate whether my current companies or funds reflect those values? I inherited my mom's home through a Lady Bird deed and recently sold it. I have three questions: Where should I consider investing the proceeds, and are annuities a good option? Will I owe capital gains tax? And how should I think about tithing on this money?

From the author of The First Lady of WWII comes You Can't Catch Us: Lady Bird Johnson's Trailblazing 1964 Campaign Train and the Women Who Rode With Her (Sourcebooks, 2026), the story of Lady Bird Johnson's groundbreaking trip during the 1964 election, and the women who rode with her. "It takes women to have guts." Deemed “the most important campaign effort ever undertaken by the wife of an American president,” the Lady Bird Special was a whistle-stop tour of the South undertaken by Lady Bird Johnson, in a bid for her husband's reelection in 1964. Never before had a president's spouse taken to the campaign trail so ambitiously. The 1,682-mile trek through the southern United States, from Washington DC to New Orleans, was a deliberate choice by Lady Bird—many in the southern states resented her husband's championing of civil rights. But the first lady, proud of her southern heritage, wanted to appeal to her fellow southerners and bridge the divide. Despite the potential danger, she pressed forward, making speeches, shaking hands, and showing herself to be confident, capable, and impressive. You Can't Catch Us is a story of an election campaign, but it is also a story of a women-led operation and an appeal for understanding and civility. Lady Bird Johnson's exciting journey was monumental in expanding the role of women in politics and progressing the fight for women's rights—a fight we still continue to this day.

SPRING CELTIC CHALLENGE The Spring Celtic Challenge started on April 1. That means you are three weeks in — maybe four, depending on how you're counting. Either way, you have been at this for nearly a month. Think about that for a second. Twenty minutes a day. Music in your ears. At least one piece of litter off the ground every time you walked out the door. That adds up to something real. This is the last challenge reminder. No new episode next week, so you are on your own. But the challenge does not pause just because the podcast does. You know what to do. Step outside. Walk twenty minutes. Pick up one piece of trash. Put on some Celtic music if you need a nudge. If you've been working on the community knotwork or sharing your challenge art, keep going. Tag it, share it, celebrate it. You're building something with this community, step by step. Nearly a month down. Finish strong. Let me know how it's going. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. I'd love to hear from you. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! This show exists because of you.

Send me a picture of what you're doing while listening? Or while you're doing your Spring Celtic Challenge. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Richard L Boyce emailed: "Hi Marc, On one of your recent podcasts, you mentioned putting together a show using music by people who just love to get together and play tunes. If you are still serious about that, I'm going to recommend you check out the sets put together by the Riley School of Irish Music (https://rileyirishmusic.com/school - tunes) in Cincinnati, OH. Our school has been going for more than 25 years. We meet on Saturdays in a local church and teach Irish music to both kids and adults. We have long provided the spark that's created local Irish bands that play for listening and for dances in our area. The School's run mainly by amateurs who simply love the music. The sets of tunes on our website are put together each quarter by the teachers at the school. We teach tunes by ear, and so we want our students to be have lots of opportunities to hear them. While they have been recorded for teaching, I think some of them are pretty good! I'm a flute teacher at the school, so I may be biased, as I'm on some the recordings. In any case, take a listen to some of the tracks and see if you like anything. Regards," Justine Mccarthy emailed: "Hello Marc, I recall from a podcast sometime in the past few months,  you asked listeners to record themselves playing music and sending you the recordings: Is this Audio, video or either? We are a humble group but would love to send you a recording of our band "Wild Thyme' for the website. Do we just send it by email to you as an audiophile or video? I've been a Patron for several years, and listen while riding my training bike in the basement! Thank you so much for this priceless resource!"

In this episode of Tax Tuesday, Anderson advisors Eliot Thomas, Esq., and Barley Bowler, CPA, tackle a packed lineup of listener questions covering construction business accounting, rental property depreciation, and family tax planning. They explain the pros and cons of switching from accrual to cash accounting, and when a SEP or Solo 401(k) can help reduce a tax bill before an extension deadline. They walk through how to claim a college student as a dependent even if the student earns grant income, and how hiring your kids through a C corporation can shift income and fund a Roth IRA. Eliot and Barley detail how the Ladybird enhanced life estate deed works in the five states that allow it, and how stepped-up basis applies at inheritance. They cover when a management corporation makes sense for short-term rental owners with W2 jobs, the real risk of children's working hours undermining a spouse's material participation, and how the aggregation election simplifies real estate professional status across multiple properties. Other topics include how to catch up missed depreciation using Form 3115, how to properly report an owner-financed note, and whether repairs and maintenance on a non-income-producing rental are deductible. Tune in for expert guidance on these topics and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: 00:00 Intro to Tax Tuesday with Eliot and Barley 7:09 We file accrual; however, if I switch to cash, the tax bill will be lower. Is this a good idea? Is there anything I can do to lower 2025 taxes before my extension is due in September, like a SEP or retirement plan? - Cash basis is simpler; a SEP or Solo 401(k) can still be established. 16:16 My son gets some grant money from the University for his peer mentor role and research he does. He is a Junior and is 20 years old. Can I still list him as before as a dependent on my tax return? - Yes, if you provide more than half of his total annual support. 21:28 What are the tax ramifications of my brother and I inheriting my mom's home via a Ladybird (enhanced life estate) deed? - You receive stepped-up basis; rental or personal use rules then apply. 27:17 My husband and I both have W2 jobs. We have both long-term and short-term rentals. I manage the STRs. Does it make sense that I open an S Corporation as a management company? Is there an additional advantage to employing my teenage kids to help manage properties? - A C corporation management company maximizes tax-free reimbursement benefits for families. 39:00 We have a home management company (partnership). My spouse qualifies for REP status with no other job. Could he have both? Can you also elaborate on this: "Under §469, each rental property is treated as a separate activity. You must participate in each property. Not just your portfolio as a whole." - An aggregation election bundles all rentals to simplify material participation requirements significantly. 49:05 I have a single-family home rental. Depreciation was not taken on previous tax returns. How do I go back and calculate depreciation? -File Form 3115 to catch up all missed depreciation in one year. 53:50 How do I report the mortgage payment paid to me from my owner finance note? - Report interest received on Form 1098 and installment gain on Form 6252. 57:38 Can you write off expenses and maintenance costs for rentals that are not producing any income due to disrepair? - Yes, if the property remains available for rent or is temporarily out of service.

Clean energy isn't just good for the planet. It's good for your wallet. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. Spring is a good reminder of what we stand to lose… and what we're fighting to protect. The science is clear. Human activity is driving climate change. Record heat. Rising seas. Disappearing seasons. And yet too many politicians would rather protect billionaire energy interests than help working families lower their bills. Real change starts when we stop letting the ultra - rich write our energy policy. Support clean energy. Reduce your waste. Talk to your elected leaders.

SPRING CELTIC CHALLENGE You are two weeks into the Spring Celtic Challenge. That is no small thing. Two weeks of walking. Two weeks of music.

And you're still here. That matters. So here's your reminder. Step outside today. Twenty minutes. Let the music move with you. And if you spot something on the ground that doesn't belong there, pick it up. One piece. That's all. If you've been working on the community knotwork or sharing your challenge art, keep going.

On this week's Dan Savage podcast episode #1000, they mentioned the Irish and celtic music podcast!!! Woot! Keep up the good work!" Chelle Fiddler emailed: "Hi Marc!  I am also a long - time Celtic musician.  As a player, I love the pin idea.  As an audient (my invented word for one audience, ; - ) ) I probably wouldn't buy it.  But that's just me.... I'm not inclined to listen to Celtic music at home.  I'm more likely to go to a live show, or even hire the band to play a house concert. I'm running the Celtic series at the Old Brogue in Great Falls now... I adopted that baby from IONA this past Fall.  Hopefully I can beg your help promoting the shows?  We need all the help we can get. : - ). I'm so very green at promoting shows, and now I'm running two concert serieses... serii?  Like you, I'm all about keeping this music alive and vibrant, and building an audience for my brilliant colleagues. All the best," Metta RavenHeart messaged on Patreon about show #748: "Here here and there there.  Your authenticity far outweighs any difference of opinion. Please continue to march for freedom.  Here in New Mexico we know what it is like to stand up against tyranny and racism, and you inspire us to continue." Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Whether you make better patter or not, I will listen to you until I die. I mentioned the Galacian Celtic music. I am so intrigued by this sound. Some of it is like obvious jigs and reels and marches, but it also sounds like Flamenco some of the time and sometimes muslim  creep in.  It is very "spanish" and yet not.   And when the bagpipes come in, you think you are in Ireland... Here are four that you will find interesting. This one is by the kind of national Galacian folk arts concert.  It opens with an almost middle eastern sound, the the voices com in singing in Spanish and then the bagpipes hit and it turns into a celtic party... in spain!   This one opens with cricket and turns into a dance. This one is a jig.  It says so in the title but then it turns into something else  -   -  The Muneira is like the Galacian national dance... It could be scots... What country did this dance come from? You pick up all kinds of odd ideas.  Fiddle around with this Galician celtic music…"  

Victor Salinas shares his dream to launch a theater company that unveils the truth through contemporary and  revolutionary productions. His latest project, The Lady Bird of Saint Joan, is bold and deeply honest! 

Sitting down with me this week is author Shannon McKenna Schmidt to discuss her book You Can't Catch Us: Lady Bird Johnson's Trailblazing 1964 Campaign Train and the Women Who Rode with Her. Our conversation covers the preparation and significance of Johnson's tour, Lady Bird's unique style compared to her husband LBJ, her role as a trailblazer for women, and the security challenges faced during the tour. Tune in to learn about this and so much more - and then snag a copy of the book for yourself wherever fine books are sold. To learn more about Shannon, visit her website here. If you want to purchase the book through my affiliate page on bookshop.org, click here. Support the show

Lady Bird Johnson's daring 1964 whistle-stop campaign and the publication of You Can't Catch Us: Lady Bird Johnson's Trailblazing 1964 Campaign Train and the Women Who Rode with Her (Sourcebooks, March 3, 2026). You Can't Catch Us is more than political history—it's a powerful testament to women-led leadership, resilience, and the pursuit of civility during turbulent times. As Schmidt deftly illustrates, this journey—"the four most dramatic days in my political life," as Lady Bird herself called it—helped redefine the role of presidential spouses and advanced the cause of women in politics. In October 1964, as the South simmered under the tensions following the signing of the Civil Rights Act three months earlier, First Lady Lady Bird Johnson boarded a specially outfitted nineteen-car train—the “Lady Bird Special”— and traversed eight Southern states. With forty-seven stops over four electrifying days and 1,682 miles behind her, she shattered the expectations of a presidential spouse with speeches, diplomacy, and palpable compassion. Shannon McKenna Schmidt shines a spotlight not just on Lady Bird's trailblazing role, but on the pioneering women who stood by her: Liz Carpenter, a trailblazing press secretary and the first East Wing staff director; Dr. Janet Travell, the first female White House physician; and legendary journalist Helen Thomas. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

It's Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards! Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognising those who were cruelly overlooked.This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 90th Academy Awards. The event celebrated all the films released in the year of 2017. The event was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on March 4th 2018. The host was Jimmy Kimmel. He had hosted the year before.The 90th Annual Academy Awards was a year after the La-La Land/Moonlight Best Picture fiasco. It was the year when Guillermo Del Toro's film The Shape Of Water won 4 Oscars, it was nominated for 13. Timothée Chalamet, at that point 22, was the third youngest person to nominated in an acting category. Greta Gerwig was nominated for Best Director for Lady Bird, the 5th female filmmaker to be nominated in that category. Jordan Peele was the first African American to win Best Original Screenplay. Rachel Morrison became the first woman nominated for Best Cinematography. It was the year of genre films. Slowly but surely, the Academy is slowly starting to acknowledge and award Oscars and nominations for horror films and other genre films of that ilk. We head back in our time machine to right the wrongs of this year. In our opinion, who should have won? Listen to the episode and find out who we think should have won. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US and the UK. In Finland it was released on Apple TV after finishing its limited cinema run and was the Number 1 film for multiple weeks. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The film is now available to watch in the other Nordic territories like Sweden, Oslo and of course Denmark.

video: https://youtu.be/9P4ki0yBVb0 This week in Linux, we've got a solid mix of kernel news, desktop progress, application releases, and even a little bit drama thrown in for good measure. Several Linux LTS kernels are getting extended support, COSMIC Desktop 1.0.8 has landed with more polish, Firefox 148 is out with some notable changes, and the Ladybird browser project is making a big move by adding Rust to its development strategy. On top of that, Discord has officially delayed its global age verification rollout after significant backlash, so we'll break down what happened there and what it means going forward.

From childhood curiosity to feminist awakening to the brutal truth about why being rewarded with books instead of toys creates a mindset that sees disappointment as a story you've already read - and why the father who refused to let his daughters waste time in the kitchen when they could be reading Larry King interviews was actually building feminists before the word became trendy, the seven-year-old reading Gorbachev and Pilgrim's Progress instead of Lady Bird stories because "I wanted to be serious like my father," the psychological reality of imposter syndrome where good things happen and self-doubt kicks in but curiosity overrides it, the deliberate opportunist who makes friends "because I know there is something you have that I would like" without apology or shame, and why the father who said "if you can read a recipe you can cook the watching - you don't have to stay in the kitchen so many hours" was teaching his daughters that understanding beats conditioning every single time, while the real question becomes: why do parents push their children to be lawyers and pharmacists and doctors because it was their dream they didn't achieve instead of letting the child experience life for themselves, because that's not fair and the days when God was just giving out blessings are over - now you have to work for the manama, and if your character doesn't count for anything don't expect growth, and the ultimate truth is this: being kind is not an option you consider, it's something that comes naturally when you're raised by a man who helped strangers without knowing them and a woman who had to unlearn societal conditioning to understand that her daughters could be liberated, educated, and free to make their own choices instead of being trapped by what society said women should be. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Nana Aba Anamoah - a powerhouse media personality who dismantles the dangerous "stay in the kitchen and learn to cook" mentality that conditions girls to serve instead of lead. when meeting people for the first time and they say "oh Nana I like you so much" triggers curiosity about what they do and how they ended up there, and when finding out they have challenges her mind immediately races asking "how do I help, how do I help" because that's what she learned from watching her father. This isn't motivational empowerment talk from Instagram influencers - it's a systematic breakdown of why being rewarded with books instead of toys creates a mindset that sees curiosity as survival and disappointment as just another story you've already read, why a father who refused to let his daughters stay in the kitchen washing dishes when they could be reading adult books and watching Larry King Live was building feminists before the word became trendy, why reading Gorbachev and Pilgrim's Progress at age seven instead of colorful children's stories teaches you to be serious and understand the world like adults do, why the father who said "if you can read a recipe you can cook the watching without spending hours in the kitchen" was teaching his daughters that understanding beats conditioning every single time, why having a psychological condition called imposter syndrome means always doubting yourself when good things happen but pushing through with curiosity anyway, why being "a big opportunist" who makes friends because "I know there is something you have that I would like" is strategic not shameful when you're deliberate about what you want, why parents who push their children to be lawyers and pharmacists and doctors because it was their unfulfilled dream are being unfair - let the child experience life for themselves, why the days when God was just giving out blessings are over and now you have to work , and why being kind is not something you sit down and consider - it comes naturally when you're raised by a proper human being who helped strangers without hesitation and made kindness the foundation of everything you do. Guest: Nana Aba Anamoah Host: Derrick Abaitey

In October 1964, as the South simmered under the tensions following the signing of the Civil Rights Act three months earlier, First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson, began a whistle-stop tour of the South. She shattered the expectations of a presidential spouse with speeches, diplomacy, and palpable compassion as she encouraged the South to leave Jim Crow behind.

Valentine's Day is a perfect reminder that love isn't just a feeling—it's a plan. We sit down as father and son, both elder law attorneys, to map out clear steps that protect the people who matter most. From choosing a trustee for minor children to keeping your home out of probate, we explain how straightforward documents can prevent the messes that break hearts and budgets.We start with practical strategies for families with kids: creating a trust that funds education and daily needs, naming a trustee you trust, and using term life insurance with smart beneficiary designations so money lands exactly where it should. Then we move to the home, walking through how an enhanced life estate—often called a Lady Bird deed—lets you keep control while ensuring the property passes smoothly to your chosen heirs without court delays. Along the way, we show when a trust and a deed can work together to add control and protection.Spousal protection takes center stage as we unpack joint family trusts, general durable powers of attorney, and healthcare powers of attorney. Marriage alone won't unlock IRAs, bank accounts, or real estate decisions; authority must be granted in writing. We share how to avoid costly guardianships, prepare for long-term care and creditor risks, and keep decisions in the family. Finally, we tackle blended-family pitfalls, explaining how intestacy can split assets in surprising ways—and why a clear will or trust prevents conflict and preserves peace.If you want your love to last longer than flowers, give your family clarity, not questions. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a nudge to plan, and leave a review with the one document you still need to sign.

It is better to have a trust as a beneficiary rather than an individual since you can have protection on how your property passes in contrast to the grantee/beneficiary's heirs or estate of if the grantee/beneficiary predeceases you.

In this conversation, Pete from the band Lady Bird discusses their unique sound, which draws inspiration from late 90s and early 2000s alt-country music. He shares the story behind the band's name, their musical influences, and the challenges of being a musician today. The discussion also covers the realities of touring, the music industry, and the importance of authenticity in their music. Pete reflects on the transition from a traditional career to pursuing music full-time and the grind that comes with it, while also expressing excitement for future shows and growth opportunities.

Paper binders and decade-old software don't cut it for families making the most important legal decisions of their lives. We open the door to a tech-forward approach to estate planning—one that keeps the attorney's judgment at the center while using smart systems to remove friction, reduce errors, and make every step easier to navigate. From secure, encrypted lifetime document storage to a streamlined intake process that captures assets and goals once and reuses that data across your plan, we show how thoughtful tools turn confusion into clarity.We walk through the education-first foundation—videos, articles, and a resource-rich website—so you can understand wills, revocable trusts, Lady Bird deeds, beneficiary designations, and long-term care risks before you sign a single document. Then we unpack how our proprietary decision support pairs with legal expertise to evaluate options, surface requirements, and keep everything compliant and consistent. The result is faster, more accurate planning without sacrificing nuance: whether you're choosing the right trust structure, coordinating titles and beneficiaries, or preparing for Medicaid lookback periods and care costs.Security and client control stay front and center. With bank-level encryption, permissioned sharing, and fast access to PDFs, families can get critical documents to hospitals, advisors, or caregivers within minutes—without losing privacy. We also talk about why most legal industry software lags behind and how building our own systems helps us deliver timely, cost-effective service that actually fits how people live today. If you want an estate plan that is modern, secure, and deeply human, this conversation maps the path forward.If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with someone planning for the future, and leave a quick review to tell us what topic you want next.

Our national nightmare is over - Jakeuary is back, everyone! Jake Frelick returns to the show with another batch of movies to discuss, and today we begin with the overlooked 2011 film "Hanna" starring Ladybird herself, Saoirse Ronan.

Frank and Jake talk about the Chemical Brothers score, director Joe Wright (who mostly does costume dramas), great whistling movies, and, of course, Eric Bana. Grab some popcorn and join us for a Hanna bonanza!

Resolutions fade; stress lingers. We chose a different start to the year by focusing on the one move that reliably lowers anxiety and protects what matters: a practical estate plan that actually works when life gets messy. From the gym to the law office, we connect the dots between lower cortisol, clearer thinking, and the documents that keep your family out of court and your assets out of harm's way.We break down the essentials in plain language. You will hear why a general durable power of attorney and a health care power of attorney are the bedrock of real-world preparedness, and what happens when they are missing—delays, court-driven guardianship, and bills piling up when a spouse or child is locked out of decisions. Then we widen the lens to tackle the cost of long-term care, the quiet threat that can drain retirement accounts after a stroke, a fall, or a dementia diagnosis. Our approach centers on options: how targeted trusts can position savings for benefits eligibility without surrendering your values or your voice.For homeowners, we spotlight the Lady Bird deed—especially effective in North Carolina—which protects the primary residence, avoids probate, and has been strengthened under current Medicaid rules. It is a simple, reversible step that keeps you in control during life and guides the house to your chosen heirs later. Along the way, we share mindset shifts that make planning feel less like paperwork and more like freedom: tidy decisions, clear roles, and a cleaner slate for 2026.If you are ready to trade vague resolutions for real peace of mind, this conversation gives you a precise checklist and the confidence to act. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a nudge, and leave a review to tell us the first step you are taking toward an Estate Plan and Prosper year.

Since 1944, the Golden Globes have offered an alternative to the Oscars and the Emmys. Giving us a boozier, looser take on the best in both TV and movies, the Globes have at their best championed less-obvious projects, and given early wins to actors and creators who would go on to be some of the entertainment industry's biggest stars. Of particular interest is the Best Film Musical or Comedy category, which has celebrated some of the less stodgy, but still incredibly well made, films that might not make the cut for the prestige-obsessed Academy Awards. So join us for one of our 2026 Patreon-sponsored episodes as the Great Pop Culture Debate attempts to name the Best Golden Globe Winner for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.Movies discussed: The Sound of Music (1965), The Lion King (1994), West Side Story (1961), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Chicago (2002), Some Like It Hot (1959), The Graduate (1967), Cabaret (1972), Romancing the Stone (1984), Moulin Rouge!

Our season of women Best Director nominees continues with Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird. Let's go on a trip back to post-9/11 high school and all the drama, anxiety, and oddity it contained.Hope you have a lovely holiday and get a chance to watch whatever films fit the bill for you (Die Hard or otherwise). You can shoot us an email at whatisamoviepod@gmail.com

The rules just got clearer—and the stakes couldn't be higher for families trying to protect a home while qualifying for long-term care. We break down how North Carolina's Medicaid manual now explicitly recognizes Ladybird deeds (life estates with powers), why that matters during the five-year look-back, and how this strategy preserves eligibility without triggering transfer penalties. If you've worried about losing your house to care costs or probate, this is your blueprint for legal protection that holds up under scrutiny.We walk through the core mechanics of a Ladybird deed: the owner keeps full control, including the power to sell, while naming a remainder beneficiary to inherit the property at death. That retained control is the key—because it's not a transfer for less than fair market value, the deed avoids penalties that can derail Medicaid applications. Pair it with the home site exemption and a signed intent to return, and you have a clearer path to eligibility while still protecting the family residence. We discuss how the manual's citations solidify this approach for nursing home care and special assistance, creating consistent guidance across programs.Beyond eligibility, we explore the real benefits for legacy planning: avoiding probate, reducing delays and costs, and keeping equity in the family for children and spouses. Married couples can use this tool on a primary residence, and families with farms or condos can preserve assets that mean more than a balance sheet. We share on-the-ground insights from appeals and client outcomes that helped drive policy clarity, and we explain when to use Ladybird deeds alongside powers of attorney and other planning tools for a comprehensive, resilient plan.If home is your anchor asset, you don't have to choose between care and legacy. Learn how a properly drafted Ladybird deed can protect your equity, streamline inheritance, and meet Medicaid rules with confidence.
