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

    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

    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.

  3. Why Financial Planning Is Really About the People You Love

    Why Financial Planning Is Really About the People You Love

    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

    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

    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.

  6. How To Navigate Today's Job Market After Age 50

    How To Navigate Today's Job Market After Age 50

    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.

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

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

    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!

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

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

    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.
