With more than 35 years of experience spanning insurance, real estate, and social advocacy, Ron shares how his personal experiences as a foster parent and advocate for families in crisis inspired a mission far greater than business: creating real systems of support for families navigating financial instability, divorce, and emotional upheaval. Together, Michele and Ron explore: • The emotional and financial gaps families face after divorce • Why traditional systems often fail single-parent households • The inspiration behind Support Insured, the first divorce insurance product of its kind • What resilience looks like during life’s most uncertain seasons • How compassion, innovation, and advocacy can work together to create lasting change This conversation is honest, heartfelt, and deeply relevant for anyone who has experienced divorce, supported loved ones through hardship, or believes families deserve better resources and protection. At its core, this episode is about dignity, hope, and what becomes possible when people turn personal pain into purposeful action.
