New Ways to Say Goodbye: What Families Want in a Funeral Service

Running the Extra Miles: Rethinking Physical Therapy for Runners

This one falls into the "anything else we want to talk about category," as Jeff tells the story of how chronic pain nearly derailed his running goals. After dropping 100 pounds and finishing his first marathon, Jeff developed knee and shin pain that traditional therapies could not fix. Enter Bonnie Wilder, DPT, the physical therapist and coach behind Running the Extra Miles. Dr. Wilder showed Jeff that his debilitating pain cycle would continue as long as he only addressed his symptoms. Instead, her work with Jeff focused on biomechanics and the root cause of his knee and shin pain. As a runner and Division 1 athlete, Dr. Wilder knows from experience that recurring injuries and setbacks can be frustrating. As a result, she has developed an evidence-based approach to efficient, personalized rehab and training.

Rewriting the Rules: Using Systems to Optimize Estate Planning and Wealth Management

History is full of famous innovators who have influenced how we understand and interact with our world. Robert Armstrong isn't as famous as Leonardo DaVinci or Steve Jobs, but he is well known and well regarded as one of the architects behind the practice management systems in use throughout the legal profession. Jeffrey Bellomo learned about these systems and adopted them at Bellomo & Associates after reading THE E-MYTH ATTORNEY and THE ENTERPRISE LAW FIRM MODEL, two books co-authored by Mr. Armstrong. Robert Armstrong also co-founded the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA), a prominent national membership organization that provides continuing legal education, marketing, and practice management tools to estate and tax planning attorneys. Mr. Armstrong now leads American Academy Wealth, also. Please join Jeff for his discussion with Robert Armstrong, a true pioneer with decades of experience revolutionizing how families protect their wealth.

Divorced? Remarried? Blended? Know the Legal Landmines Inside Modern Marriages

Today's marriages and the relationships that comprise them can be quite complex. Traditional marriage, remarriage, blended families, parenting marriage, living apart marriage, companionship marriage... the types of marriages and families seem almost endless. The only thing more complex than the unions themselves is the laws surrounding the financial resources of the various parties. Add divorce or death to the mix, and the complexities multiply. So, how are financial resources affected when relationships change? It's no surprise that ownership of wealth is often disputed. To bring more awareness to the law and wealth dispute resolution, Jeffrey Bellomo talks with Kelly Lise Murray, JD, a lawyer, legal scholar, and retired Vanderbilt Law School faculty member. Professor Murray explains the legal landmines that can be hiding inside today's modern marriages. The landmines are being tripped every day, and most people never see them coming.

House Calls and Hard Truths: Providing In-Home Medical Care for Seniors

An older adult should not have to waste precious time finding someone to drive them to a medical appointment and then spend more time sitting in a waiting room. But what is the alternative?

Costly Mistakes: How a Simple Will Can Fail Your Family

The idea of a "simple Will" sounds great. It seems inexpensive and easy, until real life exposes the limits of a Will. So, drawing on his vast experience, Jeffrey Bellomo explains why relying on a simple Will can leave a family vulnerable to taxes, probate costs, creditor claims, and unintended outcomes. Effective estate planning is more than just a Will or a couple of quick documents pulled off the Internet. It's about coordination, protection, and most of all, long-term strategy. Trusts are a smart, flexible alternative that offer control of assets during life, protection after death, and safeguards for your family.
