Employee Ownership Explained: How ESOPs Are Changing Work, Wealth, and Midlife Career Decisions

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode of The Matt Feret Show, Matt Feret sits down with ESOP consultant Matt Middendorp to explore how employee ownership is reshaping the way people think about work, wealth, and career fulfillment—especially in midlife. Moving beyond traditional conversations about retirement or business exits, the discussion examines Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) as an alternative model that aligns employee success with company performance. Middendorp shares real-world insights into how employee-owned companies foster stronger cultures, higher retention, and long-term financial security while offering business owners a legacy-driven transition strategy outside of private equity or layoffs. Together, they unpack why so many professionals have never heard of ESOPs, what employee ownership teaches us about purpose and identity at work, and how individuals at any career stage can rethink success, stability, and the value they help create.

The Matt Feret Show is about thriving in midlife, retirement, and beyond. Each week, Matt shares smart conversations on Medicare, Social Security, retirement planning, health, wealth, wellness, caregiving, and life after 50.

The Psychology of Money: How Emotions, Biases, and Behavior Shape Investment Success

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode of The Matt Feret Show, wealth advisor and behavioral finance expert Jonathan Blau explains why financial success has less to do with intelligence and market knowledge—and far more to do with human behavior. Drawing on decades of experience through market crashes, economic crises, and investor psychology, Blau reveals how emotional biases like fear, overconfidence, and loss aversion quietly sabotage even the smartest investors. The conversation explores why certainty in markets is an illusion, how media headlines and short-term thinking drive costly mistakes, and why discipline, temperament, and long-term planning consistently outperform reactionary investing. Blau breaks down concepts like the compounding of rational decision-making and the difference between wealth, wisdom, and happiness, offering practical insights that apply to everyone—from everyday savers to high-net-worth investors. This episode delivers a powerful framework for making better financial decisions under uncertainty and building lasting wealth by mastering behavior instead of chasing predictions.

Do You Really Need That Life Insurance Policy? The Truth About Life Settlements

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode of The Matt Feret Show, Matt sits down with life settlement expert Rob Haynie to explore a little-known financial option many families overlook: selling a life insurance policy. The conversation explains how life settlements work, why life insurance can be treated as a valuable asset in retirement planning, and how policy owners may receive more than the cash surrender value instead of letting coverage lapse. With a focus on education rather than sales, this episode breaks down consumer protections, common misconceptions, and how understanding all available options can help individuals and families make smarter decisions about insurance, retirement income, and long-term financial planning.

Redesigning Home Care: How Service, Trust, and Leadership Help Older Adults Thrive at Home

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:00:00 GMT

What if home care were designed around service, trust, and human dignity—not just necessity?

On The Matt Feret Show, Matt Feret speaks with Amrit Dhaliwal, CEO of Walfinch, about rethinking home care through the lens of hospitality, leadership, and intentional service design. While healthcare systems differ between the UK and the US, this conversation focuses on universal lessons families can apply anywhere.

They explore how high-quality home care supports older adults in staying at home longer, why communication and continuity matter, how technology can strengthen trust with families, and what leadership systems are required to scale care without losing personalization.

Whether you’re caring for aging parents, planning ahead, or evaluating home care options, this episode offers practical insight into how care can help people not just age—but thrive.

Why Financial Planning Is Really About the People You Love

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 11:05:00 GMT

At some point in midlife, financial planning stops being about numbers and starts being about people.

In this episode, Matt Feret talks with Jennifer Lee, financial advisor at Modern Wealth and author of Squeeze the Juice, about why money is ultimately a form of communication and an expression of care. Jennifer shares the powerful story of the handwritten “love letter” her father created while facing a terminal illness and how it shaped her approach to legacy, planning, and family conversations.

Together, they explore how unspoken expectations around money can create stress and conflict, why traditional estate planning often misses what matters most, and how getting your thoughts out of your head and onto paper or even into a voice memo can be an incredible gift to the people you love.

This episode is for anyone thinking about legacy, family, midlife transitions, or how to make difficult conversations feel more human and meaningful.

Infinite Banking Explained: An Alternative to 401(k)s and Retirement Accounts

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Most people are taught to save, invest in a 401(k), and hope it all works out in retirement. But what if that system isn’t designed to give you control when you need it most? For many in midlife, rising debt, taxes, and long-term care costs expose the cracks in traditional financial planning. That’s why today’s guest matters.

We’re joined by Brent Kesler, founder of The Money Multiplier, to break down an alternative approach to building and using wealth. Brent shares how he went from nearly $1 million in debt to debt-free in just over three years by rethinking cash flow, private family banking, and dividend-paying whole life insurance. He explains how this strategy can be used to pay off debt, invest in real estate, fund retirement, and maintain control of your money — without relying solely on Wall Street or traditional retirement accounts.

Disaster Preparedness for Families: Protecting Kids, Aging Parents, and Independence

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Preparedness isn’t just personal anymore—it’s multi-generational.

On this episode of The Matt Feret Show, Matt sits down with Disaster Patrick, a professional disaster planner who helps families prepare for real-world disruptions before they become emergencies. From adult children living far away to aging parents in care facilities, Disaster Patrick explains why traditional “have a plan” advice often fails—and what actually works instead.

This conversation focuses on practical disaster preparedness for families, reducing stress during emergencies, protecting independence, and building resilience without fear or panic. You’ll learn how to think differently about emergency planning, why options matter more than plans, and how to prepare the people you care about—no matter where they live.

If you’re navigating midlife, caring for aging parents, raising kids, or simply want a smarter approach to family preparedness, this episode delivers clear, actionable insights you can use right away.

How To Navigate Today's Job Market After Age 50

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 18:00:03 GMT

The job market isn’t what it used to be. A strong resume and decades of experience are no longer enough to carry even the most qualified applicants, especially in a market flooded with applications and filtered by AI before a human ever looks twice. Hiring works differently now, and that shift catches a lot of experienced workers off guard. That’s why today’s guest matters big time. We’re joined by Rick Denius, founder of HR Search Co., to break down how the hiring process really works today and what job seekers need to understand to navigate it.

In this conversation, Rick walks through what he sees every day behind the scenes of hiring — why companies post jobs as a last resort, how roles actually get filled before they ever appear online, and where experienced candidates lose leverage without realizing it. He explains why applying online so often leads nowhere, how age bias quietly shows up in modern hiring (ageism is real!), and what older workers can do to stay visible and in demand.

Longevity Doctor’s Keys To Living Better (Not Just Longer) Into Retirement

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 19:03:55 GMT

Today is a really, really special episode. Joining the show is cardiologist and longevity expert Dr. Hosein Kiat, who has spent his professional life studying why some people age with strength and clarity while others slowly lose them. He challenges the conventional belief that longevity is simply about adding more years. The way Dr. Kat sees it, living longer matters little if those later years come with declining health and independence.

Drawing on decades of clinical experience and global research, Dr. Kiat shares his framework for protecting healthspan (not just lifespan) — the ability to move, think, and live on your own terms as you age. He walks us through what retirees should prioritize if they want their energy, mobility, and mental sharpness to last, and why many people focus on the wrong things for far too long. This one-hour conversation is packed with insights, not just for retirees, but for anyone who wants their later years to feel capable, active, and fully lived. I hope you enjoy this convo as much as I did!

How To Pay Your Kid's College Without Wrecking Your Retirement

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 15:40:54 GMT

Paying for college is one of the biggest financial shocks families face — not just because tuition keeps rising, but because the decisions parents make in the moment can have an outsized effect on their own financial future. Most people think college planning is about saving early, opening a 529, and hoping the FAFSA works out in their favor. But as college funding strategist Brian Eyster explains, the system is far more complex, and the consequences of getting it wrong often show up decades later… in retirement.

Brian joins Matt to break down the hidden rules of college-saving — the ones most parents never hear until it’s too late. In this episode, Brian reveals why traditional advice often falls short, how to legally reduce what colleges expect you to pay, and using tools like home equity, cash flow, and even student loans strategically so you protect your long-term financial health.

The 401(k) Playbook Has Changed (Especially For Business Owners)

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 17:37:26 GMT

Most people, especially business owners, think of a 401(k) as a basic retirement benefit. A place to stash some money for later years. Something you get once you have "enough" employees. But as 401(k) specialist Matt Rutenberg explains, that traditional view is wildly outdated. Today’s 401(k) rules allow far more flexibility, far bigger tax advantages, and far more wealth-building potential than most business owners ever realize.

Matt joins the show (two Matts, yay!) to walk through how modern 401(k)s actually work, and why almost everything you assume about them is inaccurate. He explains how plan design shapes how much you really get to save, how small business owners and even solopreneurs can legally contribute far more than they think, and how strategic layers like profit sharing, cash-balance plans, and self-directed investing change the game entirely. This episode was an eye-opener!

How Retirement Can Rewire Your Brain — For The Worse

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 20:57:15 GMT

Retirement is often envisioned by retirees as an eternal vacation. No alarms, no deadlines, no meetings. But as retirement life coach and neuroscience expert Cyn Meyer explains, that sudden stop can do strange things to the brain. After years of chasing goals and deadlines, your mind is wired for achievement. So when the structure disappears, it doesn’t relax, it actually panics. Many retirees experience what Cyn calls “retirement shock,” where the loss of routine and purpose quietly rewires the brain toward anxiety, depression, or a deep sense of aimlessness.

Cyn joins Matt to explain what’s really happening inside the brain when you stop working — and how to prevent negative effects. Through her Rewire Retirement Method, Cyn helps retirees replace structure with growth, rediscover purpose through small daily habits, and create new pathways for meaning that last well beyond a career. In this episode, she reveals how to use your brain’s natural adaptability to build the vibrant, purpose-filled retirement most people never prepare for.

The Real Reason(s) So Many Retirees Feel Lost

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 15:19:26 GMT

Retirement is supposed to be a reward at the end of decades of hard work. It’s supposed to be the long-awaited time of relaxation and peace of mind. But what if it’s not? For countless retirees, that dream doesn’t match reality. The structure that once gave life rhythm — the routines, titles, and purpose that defined their days — vanishes overnight. What’s left is often an unsettling mix of confusion, boredom, and even despair.

Retirement planner and mindset mentor George Jerjian joins Matt to explain why this happens, and what retirees can do to avoid it. After years of helping people navigate this transition, George has seen how easy it is to “drift into oblivion” once the paychecks stop and the identity fades. In this episode, he breaks down the hidden dangers of traditional retirement, why financial planning alone isn’t enough, and how his DARE Method helps people rediscover meaning, purpose, and joy in the second half of life.

How Your Home Equity Can Power A Better Retirement

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 16:39:54 GMT

For most retirees, the house they live in is also their biggest untapped asset. Home equity often sits quietly on paper, doing nothing while retirement savings shrink and costs rise. Yet that same equity can be converted into income and peace of mind — WITHOUT selling the home.

In this episode, I sit down with retirement expert Matt Helton to unpack how home equity could be the key to a better retirement. Matt has helped countless retirees turn their homes into reliable, flexible financial tools — not through risky loans or sales, but through smart planning and modern FHA-backed programs designed to protect homeowners. He explains how these options work, the most common mistakes retirees make, and why fear and misinformation still keep so many people from taking advantage of what’s right in front of them. I learned a lot in this interview, and I think you will too!

How to Use Life Insurance While You're Still Alive with John Ensley, ChFC | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #056

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 11:00:00 GMT

In this episode of The Matt Feret Show, I interview financial consultant John Ensley.

We discuss the benefits of these policies, such as high cash value, low commission, and dividend payments, and how they can be used to achieve financial objectives without taking unnecessary risks. John also addresses common detractors of this approach, such as the "buy term and invest the difference" strategy, and emphasizes the importance of seeking out advisors who are knowledgeable about these types of policies. We talk about the potential use of life insurance policies in long-term care planning and the concept of "family banking," where multiple generations pool their assets and savings to create a financing resource within the family. Overall, John highlights the versatility and benefits of using life insurance as a tool for financial planning. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Reverse Mortgages and How to Use Them in Retirement with Mitch Cooper, CRMP®, CRPC® | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #023

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 09:00:19 GMT

This episode will give you an insider’s guide to reverse mortgages, the myths vs. the facts, a breakdown of the up-front and ongoing costs of reverse mortgages, whether or not the reverse mortgage process and products have evolved, and how and when to use them as part of a comprehensive retirement plan for you or your loved ones.

Mitch Cooper is a Reverse Mortgage Advisor for Mutual of Omaha Reverse Mortgage. In 2021, he became the youngest person in history to earn the Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional (CRPC®) designation.

“For most retirees, two-thirds of their wealth is in their home or the average American retiree. So proportionately there's all sorts of networks but still around a lot of their wealth is in their home and that's great except for, one, it's your last home it just becomes this piggy bank you can't really touch, you have to refinance or sell it to get access to it. And if you sell it, you still got to live somewhere and so you got to have a roof over your head. And so that's where we go, "Can we keep the main purpose of the home?" Which is to have a roof over your head; shelter. There's a lifestyle there depending on where they're at in that range and then draw some of that wealth back out in a way that secure, meaning you get to still live there...

Even if 2008 happens, as long as they're living there, paying the property taxes, homeowner's insurance, it doesn't matter if the loan balance has gone over the value of the home because it's FHA insured and it's a true non-recourse loan, meaning we cannot come after any other assets to collect that shortfall. So they still have a roof over their head, same home, and that kind of thing.”

In-Home Caregiving for Veterans and Their Spouses, Aid and Attendance VA Benefits, VetAssist Companion and Smart Companion with David Laiderman, CEO of Veterans Home Care | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #021

Thu, 01 Dec 2022 09:00:34 GMT

David Laiderman is CEO of Veterans Home Care, a private, family-owned and operated company that helps veterans, their survivors and caregivers support in-home care. He also created Smart Companion – an Amazon Alexa and Amazon Show - connected device that connects older adults with caregivers and a support structure to help keep loved ones in their homes safely.

Veteran’s Home Care VetAssist Program Aid and Attendance is a little-known VA benefit for veterans or their survivors who need the help of another to live safely at home. It pays for assistance with activities of daily living, such as help with personal care, medication reminders, transportation benefits, light housekeeping, laundry and more. Aid and Attendance can also pay for in-home care, adult daycare, assisted living expenses, medical alert devices and more.

This episode will give you an insider’s guide to in-home care for older adults, veterans, their surviving spouses and caregivers.

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

“Our country hasn't planned for it. Our country doesn't understand it. We have this massive aging population coming. I'm sure you talk about it, but the reality is, 10 years from now, over 20% of our population is going to be over the age of 65. Another 20% of our population is going to be under the age of 18. So when we look at who's in the middle and respectively both of those groups of individuals need almost one on one care and maintenance and oversight and expense. And so it's going to put a big squeeze on our population, a mass attack on our health system. And so looking at that and looking at all of the things that are coming into play there, it's going to become increasingly more expensive to care for your loved one, to care for your parents as they age.”

All About Medicare Advantage with ATRIO Health Plans CEO Gregg Kimmer | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #020

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 09:00:09 GMT

My guest today is Gregg Kimmer, President and CEO of ATRIO Health Plans. Based in Oregon, ATRIO administers Medicare Advantage plans for customers in Oregon, Nevada, Tennessee and Louisiana.

This edition of The Matt Feret Show will give you an Insider’s Guide to Medicare Advantage, from the perspective of a Medicare Advantage plan president and CEO!

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

“I really enjoy designing Medicare Advantage plans because I know down the road, someone else is going to benefit from this. And again, that person who's going to benefit from it is in the most deserving population in America, and that really gives me a lot of satisfaction. So there are hundreds and hundreds of benefits within a Medicare Advantage plan. The vast majority of them are what I call invisible benefits. The benefits a person may never use, the benefits a person may not even know they have. I like to focus on six core benefits to make a Medicare Advantage plan really stand out and again, benefit the consumer or the member. That's what this is all about.”

SPECIAL EDITION WGN-TV, WBBM Chicago Prepare for Medicare – The Insider’s Guide Interviews | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #018

Sat, 15 Oct 2022 08:00:28 GMT

This Special Edition of The Matt Feret Show are re-broadcasts of two interviews I gave this month at WGN-TV Chicago, as well as on WBBM in Chicago.

It was a lot of fun to talk to the WGN anchors off-camera, both of whom asked for Medicare advice for family members! I left each of them a copy of the updated second edition (2022-2023) of Prepare for Medicare – The Insider’s Guide to Buying Medicare Insurance.

The WBBM one was taped over the phone, but the WGN interview was LIVE! It sure felt weird to be back on a live broadcast television news set after over 20 years!

I even slipped up, but only once. Can you find it?

Rentals and Real Estate Investing in Retirement Basics and Beyond with Whitney Elkins-Hutten | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #017

Sat, 01 Oct 2022 08:15:04 GMT

Whitney Elkins-Hutten and is the Director of Investor Education at PassiveInvesting.com and a real estate professional.

This edition of The Matt Feret Show will give you an insider’s guide to cash-flow real estate investing before or during retirement. We talk about the basics of house-hacking, using single family homes as rentals, being a landlord vs. using a property manager, real estate syndication deals, commercial real estate, apartment buildings, car-washes, and a whole lot more!

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

“I would really encourage anybody listening, ask that question, what do you want? Why do you want it? And who do you need to become? Those are three questions to ask. And that will really help inform you, do I really want to be a hands-on investor, or do I want to place it with property management? I will tell you, when I added in property management, that allowed me to scale faster, and that property manager was able to work with the tenant far better than I could. They could do so many things far better than I could. I also encourage people, don't get into the real estate game with the idea that you're only going to have one rental property.”

Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement, Dental Insurance, Hidden Gaps in Medigap Plans, State vs. Federal Medicare Rules with Bryan Derheim | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #016

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 08:00:44 GMT

The 2022-2023 Edition of Prepare for Medicare - The Insider's Guide to Buying Medicare Insurance is out NOW!

To help me celebrate, my friend and fellow Medicare insurance insider Bryan Derheim stopped by to chat all things Medicare.

If you're looking for some really good background and advice around shopping for Medicare insurance, you're going to want to pay attention to Bryan. He's spent the last 15+ years around the Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D and Medicare Supplement (also called Medigap) insurance space.

This episode will give you an insider’s view into the differences between Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans, why what state you live in can determine the amount of coverage a Medicare Supplement plan can give you, unknown, surprising little-thought-of gaps in Medigap coverage and how dental insurance, vision, hearing and other types of insurance and other plans play into your Medicare health insurance equation.

Unpacking Gender Bias in Healthcare, and How Women Can Overcome It with Author Susan Salenger | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #015

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 08:15:59 GMT

My guest for this episode is author Susan Salenger, who recently published a book entitled Sidelined: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health. While acknowledging gender bias, Susan also writes a lot about helping women change this dynamic by showing them how to advocate for themselves, how to get past embarrassment, communication issues, shame and loneliness and proactively changing their approach to the healthcare system so they are less affected by gender bias.

This episode will give you an insider’s view into the latest links between gender and healthcare, gender differences in outcomes, approaches and attitudes towards self-care, second opinions and how women can change their approach to their doctors and the healthcare system.

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

"When (women) walk in the doctor's office, they're embarrassed, so they hesitate to talk about all their symptoms. 50% of women lie to their doctors, and 25% of that 50% don't even think that their lying is a problem. Not understanding that now that they've distorted what's happening, the doctors' chance of an accurate diagnosis are even less than they were in the first place. I was startled at the amount of shame that women feel about being ill. That took me aback."

Links between Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Diet with PhD Candidate and Health Coach Diandra from That Science Couple | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #014

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 08:00:53 GMT

Diandra from That Science Couple is a PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin and health coach who researches the links between diet, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.

This episode will give you an insider’s guide to why making dietary changes may give you the best shot to stop or slow brain-related decline, how you can help a loved one if you’re a caregiver for an Alzheimer's patient and how allergy testing, stress reduction, genetics and science-backed, evidence-based nutrition coaching can all play a vital role in brain health and aging.

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

“We used to think that Alzheimer's was only about the plaques, the amyloid beta and tau tangles, but actually we found out that there's a lot of mixed pathologies. So, people that will have some vascular components and then some of these typical amyloid beta or tau presentations, those pathologies for Alzheimer's. And so we know that the diet can actually work through the cardiovascular pathway, so it can help improve your heart. And then it also will help improve the blood flow in your brain as well.

Social Security Administration Office Tips, Social Security Benefits Strategy Explained, Best Age to File Social Security with Jim Blair | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #013

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 08:00:28 GMT

How do you maximize your Social Security benefits in retirement? Social Security spousal benefits can be confusing; what are the best Social Security benefit strategies for couples? How do you file at the Social Security Administration? Social Security consulting – when is it a good idea?

What’s the biggest mistake people make when filing for Social Security benefits? Is the Social Security Administration going broke? What’s the best age to take Social Security retirement benefits?

This episode will give you an insider’s view into the best way to maximize your Social Security benefits in retirement, spousal benefits, strategies for couples, how to use and interact with the Social Security Administration local office staff, what to watch out for, when you need to pull in a Social Security consultant and a whole lot more!

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

“We plan for everything. We plan our vacations; we plan our marriages and maybe we plan our divorces. But we plan a lot of things. You're going to receive your Social Security benefit on average, 18 to 20 years, but maybe 25 or 30 years, maybe even longer. So you need to plan before you file that application, and that's the important part. Before you file, look at all your options.

You may end up doing what you were thinking of doing anyway, but at least now you've looked at it and a lot of people will make adjustments and it doesn't have to be a lot of years, it doesn't have to be, I'm planning on filing at 62. I looked at my Social Security, now I got to work another eight years and I'm not going to retire till 70. That's not the case for everybody, but I may wait till full retirement age, or maybe I'll wait till 64, 65. All sorts of things can factor in there. You want to look at it before you apply.”

Caregiving for a Spouse Using Yoga and Meditation for Mental and Physical Health | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #012

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 08:00:54 GMT

This episode of The Matt Feret Show will give you an insider’s view into caregiving for a spouse. Charlotte Bayala has first-hand experience caring for a sick spouse for over a decade. Listen to her journey and learn how she found her voice by advocating for herself, her family and adjusted her mental and physical health using yoga, meditation and caregiving groups.

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links: https://themattferetshow.com

“Don't be passive about asking for the help that you need. No matter if it's your family, if it's friends, or if it's because you need to have it contracted out. You need to know, "I can't cook for the next two weeks. I need help with meals." And you find there are actually people who like to cook, that gives that person an opportunity to shine in what they actually know how to do and like doing, and they're able to do it and help someone at the same time. You have to see what thing can you ask a person to do that will benefit them. It sounds weird. It shouldn't have to benefit them, but if you want them to really show up and do that thing, that you need them to do, if they have more of a why to do it, they're going to be more apt to do it.”

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

“Everybody owns an annuity, Matt. You know what that annuity is? It's called Social Security. We've all been paying into this thing, we've (been) taxed all the way up until we stop working. And when you turn 62, you can start taking Social Security. It is an “annuity,” meaning it will pay you a guaranteed sum of money until you pass away.

Everything You Need to Know About Long Term Care Insurance | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #010

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 08:00:59 GMT

No one likes to think about their eventual demise. It’s science: research says our own brains keep us from dwelling on it. A recent NeuroImage study found human brains categorize death as an unfortunate event that only happens to other people.

If you're a caregiver or have older parents, listen up!

Fifty percent of older adults will need long-term care at some point in their lives. If you or your parents have made it to age sixty-five, congratulations! There’s now a seventy percent chance of need long-term care.

My guest this episode is Bryan Herdt. Bryan is long term care insurance industry rock star. This episode of The Matt Feret Show will give you a very comprehensive insider’s view into long-term care insurance, what it is, how many types of long term care insurance there are, how to buy it, when to buy it, the differences in long-term care for people with insurance, what to buy, how to buy and why whatever you do, you need to hit this head on… if not for you, then for your parents and loved ones.

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

"The emotion that is brought out in people about losing their independence and losing the ability to self-manage is horrifying enough that people will just... they'll just dismiss it. They'll just say I just don't see it happening to me. And honestly, still, that's probably one of the biggest reasons why more people don't do proactive planning for long-term care.”

Ageless Sex, Sex as You Age, Boomer Dating, Sex After Mourning with Joan Price | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #009

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 08:00:46 GMT

Joan Price is an author, educator and self-described advocate of ageless sexuality who loves helping people have and maintain healthy sex lives throughout their lives, but especially as they grow older.

This episode will give you an insider’s view into sex as we age, with your partner, by yourself, sex when you’re single, dating websites, sex after the death of a spouse, hormones, scheduling sex, and a whole lot more.

Full episode transcript, notes, quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

“If one partner is insisting on things that just no longer serve you, then it might be really important to see a counselor, see a sex-positive and age-positive counselor, they're not all that way, or a certified sex therapist, if the partner is willing to go and to get some help, to get some help on the communication, get some help and seeing how important it is going forward, because there's great intimacy that comes with sex and great sex that comes with intimacy. If you are cutting off that lifeline to the intimacy in your relationship, then it can be seriously destructive.”

Todd Morrissey on Early Medicare Planning, MSAs, HSAs and Medicare, IRMAA, Medicare Supplement Plan G, N, Wealth Management and IRMAA | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #007

Sun, 01 May 2022 08:00:10 GMT

Todd Morrissey is President of Medicare Solutions at Advisors Excel. Advisors Excel is a nationwide firm based out of Topeka. It helps independent financial professionals, advisors, and wealth managers build independent practices.

This episode will give you an insider’s view into why financial planners, wealth managers and their firms haven't typically gotten very involved in Medicare insurance coverage. But, that's changing and Todd reviews why it's very important to start planning for Medicare well before age 64, how taxes and IRMAA play a part of the equation as well as HSAs.

Full episode transcript, notes. quotes and links:

https://themattferetshow.com

"What I will tell you is some individuals who look at a Medicare Advantage and they see what a max out of pocket is, but they say to themselves, "Well, but I'm not paying a premium every month. I can write that check for the max out of pocket." So they know they have that. But you're right. There are some clients where a financial advisor is talking to them and they say, "Look, I want to go to the doctor. I want to not have any out of pocket expense. I just want to pay my premium." Well, then a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) is something that they would consider. The adage of one size does not fit everybody is definitely true in the Medicare space."

Erika Pimentel on Maintaining Fitness as You Age, the Importance of Weight and Core Training for Balance, Nutrition and Meal Plans, Online Training Programs versus In-Person Assessments, Fad Diets, Food and Exercise | The Matt Feret Show Podcast | #006

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 08:02:40 GMT

Erika Pimentel holds a Ph.D. in human nutrition and is a NASM-certified personal trainer who specializes in women's fitness.

This episode will give you an insider’s view into maintaining fitness as you age, the importance of weight and core training for balance, nutrition and meal plans, online training programs versus in-person assessments, customization versus just getting started, fad diets, food and exercise, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

"Once you hit 40, between 40 and 50, you have a bigger decrease in lean muscle mass. It's just muscle atrophy. It's a normal process in the human body. It continues throughout your fifties, sixties, and seventies. But the biggest chunk is between mid-thirties to fifties. So one of the things that I think is critical is people understanding that if you are active, you are better able to maintain your lean muscle mass. There are studies that show that once you start experiencing some of that weight gain, late thirties, early forties, if you do not decrease your caloric intake by about 200, 300 calories, you will see that weight gain unless you're active, unless you're doing something proactively. So it is a part of human nature, I guess, for you to start seeing some of those changes. It's what you do about them, what's going to be the end result. Will you gain weight? Will you able to maintain your weight?"

-Erika Pimentel, Ph.D., NASM-certified personal trainer

Mom spent a lot more time in the bedroom this week than typical." And that's all about…using data to proactively identify potential health status, health issues before they turn into something more serious.”
