This week, we’re joined by the crew, Ryan and Amber, from HappyBox Productions—the video pros who prove you don’t need fancy gear to tell a powerful story… but you do need actual storytelling skills.

We dive into:

 * Why emotional connection > shiny equipment
 * The myth of “I can just do this myself” (in both video and estate planning)
 * How even a meat market can make you cry
 * And why your legacy is less about paperwork and more about being remembered

Oh, and we end with some absolutely unhinged rebrand name ideas for HappyBox that no one asked for—but you’ll be glad we delivered.

If you’ve ever thought “How hard can it be?”—this one’s for you.

E58: Special Interview with Lorie Burch (A Mockumentary)

It’s World UFO Day (well, when we recorded this episode), so naturally… we’re talking about estate planning!

From alien abductions to unexpected emergencies, we explore how life’s strangest moments (and conspiracy theories) have more in common with estate planning than you’d think. If nothing else, this episode proves we can connect anything to estate planning if we try hard enough.

We cover:

 * What happens if you suddenly disappear
 * Why letting the courts (or little green men) decide your future is a bad move
 * How having a plan keeps the chaos grounded

Plus, don't miss our Top 10 Ways to Get Abducted by Aliens—for those of you who are, you know, into that.

And remember, don’t leave your legacy in the hands of little green men or probate court.

E57: UFOs & Estate Planning: More in Common Than You Think

Inflation’s up, spending is down, and estate planning is landing in the “non-essential” pile?! In this episode, we break down why putting off your Will or Trust could cost more than just money. We’re talking long-term protection vs. short-term purchases, DIY risks, and how to reframe what really matters when times feel tight.

Plus, we lighten the mood with some epic (and chaotic) ways you can make memories on vacation—sunburns, losing luggage, family fights, and all. Because while vacations may not be essential, the memories are. And just like those memories, a solid estate plan is essential to make sure your story—and your loved ones—are protected when you're gone.

This week, we’re unpacking (pun intended) the travel essentials you actually need (yes, that includes legal documents!)

From medical powers of attorney for adults to health care authorizations for kids heading to camp or visiting the grandparents, we’re breaking down the simple steps to stay protected on the go. Plus, we share our best packing tips, forgotten must-haves, and the wildly specific (and slightly unhinged) items our team refuses to travel without.

Whether you're flying first-class or road-tripping to grandma’s, this episode has the perfect advice to get you vacation-read.

E55: How to Get Vacation Ready: Sunscreen, Socks, and... Legal Docs?

What keeps people up at night when it comes to estate planning? In this episode, we’re digging into the real pain points—the emotional triggers and practical worries that lead people to finally take action (or at least think about it). Whether it’s concerns about the kids, the house, blended families, or navigating Texas laws, we break down the most common stressors we see every day.

And yes, we end with some literal pain points too (stepping on Legos, anyone?).

E53: Real Talk on Networking & Marketing (with Laura Morlando The Stress Commando)

This week we're taking a hard look at those legal plans your job offers—the ones that seem like a great deal until you actually need them. We’re breaking down why cheap or “included” estate planning services can leave you with missing documents, outdated language, and way bigger problems down the road. We’ll share real examples of what can (and does) go wrong and why quality matters when it comes to estate planning.

And because we can’t stay serious for too long, we’re also rating some of the best (and worst) workplace benefits we've ever heard of. Spoiler: paying to wear jeans is somehow a real thing.

Tune in for estate planning tips you need and workplace stories you won’t believe!

E52: Workplace Legal Plans: What You’re Not Being Told

What if you could pass down more than just your stuff? This week, we chat with Byron Walker—Dallas developer and creator of Kinnectd, a family app built for capturing stories, memories, and legacy that actually lasts.

From recording life lessons to creating “quests” for future generations (yes, really), Kinnectd is like a time capsule meets social media, but for families. We'll dig into how this app (soon to be launched) is going to change the game for families who want to leave behind more than documents for their loved ones.

And of course, we had to throw in some very important feature ideas like family tree rankings and Uber Eats for grandma’s secret recipes.
