Awesome content!

The Celebrity Estates podcast is unlike any other podcast currently out there. In each episode, host David Lenin is joined by different subject matter experts who find interesting angles to explore about an extremely niche topic - the estate planning mistakes of deceased celebrities. Each episode offers plenty of insights that are particularly helpful to financial advisors and estate planning professionals.

Fun, unique and info rich

David Lenok uses pop culture references (”Dead Celebrities”) and cool guest experts (think hip lawyers lol) to create a novel and fun way to absorb accurate and dense wealth management and estate planning.

The theme of celebrity estate tragedies and successes framing educational dialogue that can help folks avoid the same paths is really fun too.

I am happy I found this podcast because it helped answer some tricky questions I had about my parents will.

I am thrilled that I found it because it is really entertaining and has gotten to be one of my favorites with each new episode!

I am really a fan!

Give this podcast a shot!

The content is nice, the host’s voice is not clear. The speakers speak clearly, not the host.

Wish the host speaks as clear as the guests.
