FULL EPISODE AND SHOW NOTES: www.sunnybranchwealth.com/blog/2026-asking-parents-for-money

Your parents told you they want to give you money.

But they haven’t done anything yet.

And it's been months, or even years.

So what can you do to move things along?

Would you believe me if I told you a PowerPoint is your best next step?

Seriously, head on back to junior year of high school and dust off those animation and fly-in skills.

In this episode, I teach you how to build an A+ presentation that will get your parents to give you money.

This is a skill set I've been building since I was sixteen, and now I'm giving you all my tips and tricks:

• Finding the right setting
• Framing a shared fear
• Getting vulnerable with your balance sheet

So you can stop dancing around family money conversations and get down to serious business.

Whether you’re seeking help with a house, college funding for your kids, or just more open money conversations in your family, this episode has what you need to know.

FULL EPISODE AND SHOW NOTES: www.sunnybranchwealth.com/blog/trusts-after-death

Ever wondered what will happen to your parents' trust after they die?

You're not alone.

Most inheritors have the same question.

Unfortunately, there isn't a single straightforward answer.

In this episode, I’m unpacking what happens to a trust at death and what that could mean for you.

Listen, watch, or read to learn:

• The difference between a revocable and irrevocable trust
• When a trust does or doesn't get a step-up in basis (+ what the step-up in basis actually is)
• What it means to inherit from a trust versus inheriting assets held in trust

If you spend 10 minutes with this episode, you'll know exactly what you’re dealing with.

It's a must-listen if you're a grantor, beneficiary, or future trust fund kid.
