Many of us know we should be having important financial and life planning discussions with our family members, but often avoid these tough conversations. In this podcast, financial advisor Gregory Ricks shares why it's crucial to have open dialogues about topics like estate planning, retirement readiness, long-term care, and passing on wealth - even when it feels uncomfortable.

Gregory provides practical advice for initiating these family meetings, managing potential awkwardness, and ensuring your loved ones are prepared for the future. He emphasizes the need to approach these discussions with care and concern, not judgment.

Whether you're worried about your aging parents' finances or want to get your own kids started on the path to financial literacy, this podcast will equip you with the tools and mindset to have the conversations that matter most. Don't let fear or discomfort stand in the way of protecting your family's wellbeing.
