Patient Empowerment with Dr. Ann Hester

Retirement Reality with Ben Millan

Ben Millan pulled back the curtain on what most financial advisors won't tell you about retirement planning. After pivoting his practice to focus exclusively on seniors during COVID, he developed a contrarian philosophy: forget the famous 4% rule and chasing a magic dollar amount. The only number that matters is your income gap, the difference between your guaranteed monthly income (Social Security, pension) and what you actually need to live on.  Joe and Ben covered why annuities have been unfairly demonized (Social Security is technically the most common annuity in America), how to properly structure indexed universal life insurance as "the rich man's Roth," why 95% of advisors don't know how to set these products up correctly, and the brutal math of why putting away less than 10% of your income mathematically guarantees you won't retire well.  #incomegap #retirementplanning # stressfreeretirement #measuringwhatmatters #themeasuringpost #seniorfinances

Steel Reserve with Trish Steele

Trish Steele joins The Measuring Post to share her seven-decade journey from childhood trauma to becoming one of the most recognized advocates for domestic violence survivors in the country. After losing her father as a young girl, losing 70% of her hearing at age five, and enduring years of abuse from her stepfather, Trish built a life defined by resilience, not victimhood. She went on to fulfill her childhood dream of working in the entertainment industry as a beauty consultant before a violent encounter with her fiance became the catalyst for founding Safe Passage Heals, a nonprofit that connects domestic violence survivors with pro bono plastic surgeons, dentists, and doctors to repair the physical scars of abuse. Recognized by Presidents Obama and Trump and featured on CBS, Fox, and The Doctors, Trish later launched Women of Steel alongside her daughters Shawna and Michelle, a mentorship movement built on three pillars: strong, spiritual, and sensational. Now in her seventies, she runs women's retreats across California and coaches women through what she calls "mindset renewal," proving there's no expiration date on reinvention. #mindset #themeasuringpost #domesticviolenceawareness #survivor
