I want to discuss what is called an “evergreen” topic with Jay Stubbs on our show – Long Term Care. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about long-term care recently, and as Jay is considered an expert in this field, I wanted to spend 15 to 20 minutes with Jay discussing everything a person should know about long-term care insurance and how to financially navigate an extended health care event. Let’s start with this because many listeners have probably never had this type of protection explained in detail to them – Jay, how do you define long term care insurance?
We are recording this episode on Thursday, April 10th, less than 24 hours removed from the largest single day rise in the stock market valuation, right smack dab back into another 2-3% trading dip. The word “historical” gets way overused, but in the case, it’s not hyperbole to say that we are experiencing truly historical levels of volatility, eclipsing even the crazy ups and downs we saw at the beginning of the Covid crisis. And for a radio show based on top-of-mind topics for investors in or near retirement, or any investor of any age I would say, I think it goes without saying that tariffs and resulting stock market volatility is certainly on the minds of most of you tuning in. Last episode we discussed the reasons for this volatility, this episode we’re going to talk about what to do about it, particularly you investors that may not have the stomach for this roller coaster.

I think that most small business owners would agree that the idea of passing on their business to the next generation or selling it to a trusted partner can be both exciting and daunting. A well-thought-out succession plan ensures that your business continues to thrive without you at the helm, and it's something you should start thinking about sooner rather than later. So Jay, I am going to lay out some of the most common ways to pass on business to the next generation, and discuss much more on this week's episode of Coasting in Retirement.
