MONEY+DEATH
A podcast for business owners about two things nobody really wants to talk about.
Money and death.
We talk about both.
Because whether we like it or not, eventually someone will have to deal with the money, business, assets, responsibilities, and decisions we leave behind.
And we'd rather help you have those conversations now than leave someone else trying to figure everything out later.
LEAVE A PLAN, NOT A MESS.
You built a business. You accumulated assets. You created relationships, responsibilities, and probably more passwords than you care to admit.
But how much of what you've built actually makes sense to anyone other than you?
Does your spouse know where everything is?
Do they know who your accountant, lawyer, financial planner or insurance advisor is?
Does your executor understand what they're agreeing to?
What happens to your business if you die?
What happens if you're alive but can't work?
And when was the last time you actually looked at your will, insurance, beneficiaries, or estate plan?
These aren't particularly fun questions.
They're also really easy to put off.
That's why we created Money+Death.
REAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
Money+Death is a 12-episode limited podcast series hosted by Jodi Laking, Founder of Your Business Executor, and Wendy Brookhouse, Certified Financial Planner and Founder of Black Star Wealth.
Wendy brings the financial planning perspective.
Jodi brings the business preparedness and continuity perspective.
And together — with a few expert guests along the way — we're tackling the questions business owners and their families often avoid.
We're talking about:
Wills and executors. Money and financial planning. Insurance. Beneficiaries. Estates and probate. Incapacity. Succession. Business continuity. Family conversations. And what actually happens when someone dies.
In plain language.
With real stories.
And considerably more laughter than you'd expect from a podcast called Money+Death.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT FEAR.
It's about making an extraordinarily difficult time a little easier for the people you leave behind.
You don't need to solve everything this weekend.
You don't need to become an expert in estate planning.
And you don't need to have every answer before you start asking questions.
Make one appointment.
Update one document.
Organize one piece of information.
Have one conversation you've been avoiding.
Then keep going.
Because someday, someone else may have to deal with what you've built.
Give them somewhere to start.
You don't have to do everything today. But you do need to get started.
