Legacy planning is not just for the ultra-wealthy, and it is definitely not something to leave until later. If you own a home, retirement accounts, or anything you care about passing on smoothly, this episode shows how to turn your wealth into a blessing instead of a burden. Alex Cabot and Ed Limbert of Birch Run Financial walk us throug practical, eye-opening conversation about the documents, decisions, and tax moves that can make life much easier for the people you love. Alex breaks down the legal foundation of a strong estate plan, including wills, executors, durable financial powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney, living wills, and why beneficiary designations can override everything in your will. Ed then explains how different assets are taxed when inherited, why Roth IRAs and step-up in basis matter so much, when Roth conversions can create long-term advantages, and how charitable giving can fit into a smarter legacy strategy. You will discover: Why estate planning matters even if you do not consider yourself wealthy The difference between a will, a power of attorney, and a living will Why a beneficiary update can matter more than almost any other estate document How inherited IRAs, Roth accounts, and brokerage assets are treated differently Why communication with your family, advisor, and attorney is often the most overlooked part of legacy planning The conversation also gets into the real-world consequences of not having these pieces in place, from probate headaches to old beneficiary forms sending money to the wrong person decades later. More importantly, it shows how thoughtful planning can remove stress, reduce confusion, and help your family focus on what matters during an already difficult time. This episode is for you if you want your financial plan to do more than build wealth - if you want it to protect your family, reflect your wishes, and leave behind clarity instead of chaos.

310 - From Airline Pilot to $1 Billion Self Storage Empire: Ryan Gibson's Blueprint for Passive Wealth What if the same checklist that keeps a commercial jet from crashing could also keep your real estate deals from blowing up your bank account? That is the mindset Ryan Gibson brought from the cockpit to the boardroom, and it is the difference between investors who build lasting wealth and those who get burned chasing the next shiny deal. In this episode, Ryan, president of Spartan Investment Group and co-host of Passive Income Pilots, breaks down the go or no-go framework he uses to evaluate every deal, the same discipline that keeps an airplane in the sky. He shares the 10/30/30/30 principle for structuring your net worth, explains why self-storage has outperformed every other asset class over the last 40 years at roughly 17 percent annually, and reveals how Spartan grew from a single house flip with his neighbor turned business partner into a billion-dollar portfolio spanning 15 states and over seven million square feet. He also gets into the strategy behind converting old retail boxes, including a former Kmart and Macy's, into thriving storage facilities, plus the surprising real-world hazards that come with owning thousands of storage units. This episode is essential listening for high-income professionals, especially airline pilots, who want true passive income without taking on a second job, as well as any real estate investor looking to diversify into a historically high-performing, recession-resistant asset class. If you have ever wondered how to evaluate a deal with the same clarity a pilot uses before takeoff, or whether self-storage deserves a spot in your portfolio, this conversation will change how you think about both. 5 Powerful Takeaways Learn the "extension clause" negotiating trick for 1031 exchanges that buys you extra time on the 45 and 180-day deadlines so you are never forced into a rushed, overpriced purchase. Discover the go/no go decision framework, borrowed directly from cockpit protocol, for knowing exactly when to walk away from a real estate deal and when you are too committed to turn back. Get the 10/30/30/30 net worth allocation strategy high-income earners use to balance liquidity, market growth, tax-advantaged real estate, and truly passive investments. Understand why self-storage has delivered roughly 17 percent average annual returns over 40 years, outperforming multifamily, data centers, and mobile home parks.

Catholic Money Mastermind - Financial Planning conversations with Catholic CFP® Practitioners
Today, Ben welcomes Matthew Bearth for a thoughtful conversation on estate planning, legacy, and the deeper purpose behind wealth stewardship. Together, they explore how financial planning extends far beyond simply passing down money, instead centering on how families can communicate values, intentions, and faith across generations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of preparing not only legal and financial documents, but also ethical wills and letters of instruction that help heirs understand the meaning and responsibility attached to inherited wealth. Ben and Matthew also reflect on the temporary nature of material possessions, encouraging listeners to view money through the lens of eternity rather than control or accumulation. As the conversation develops, they unpack charitable giving strategies—particularly donor-advised funds—and how families can use them to create lasting impact, involve children in philanthropic decisions, and steward assets in a tax-efficient way. From business liquidity events and appreciated stock positions to retirement assets and inheritance planning, the episode highlights practical tools that can help families simplify complexity while remaining aligned with their values. Ultimately, Ben and Matthew invite listeners to approach estate planning not as a cold legal exercise, but as an act of love, clarity, and intentional discipleship that blesses both family and community long after they are gone.Key Takeaways:• Estate planning is about more than distributing assets. Financial planning should consider both temporal and eternal priorities.• Ethical wills can communicate values and intentions to heirs.• Nonprofits and ministries depend on ongoing donor support.• Donor-advised funds help families delay charitable decisions while securing deductions. Families can use charitable planning to create multigenerational impact.• Good financial advisors help clients align money with personal values. Financial guidance can include emotional, spiritual, and relational coaching.• Clear plans and communication create peace of mind for both families and beneficiaries.Key Timestamps:(02:00) – No-Plan Consequences(04:13) – Probate Costs and Trusts(08:37) – Defining Legacy Values(12:46) – Stewardship and Readiness(17:32) – Ethical Will and Letters(24:17) – Lifetime Giving Strategy(32:25) – Donor-Advised Funds Basics(40:56) – Wrap-Up and ContactKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Website: https://www.boxfinancialadvisors.com/team/matthew-bearth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewbearth/ More of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.
