Employee benefits are one of the most overlooked aspects of financial planning. We often check a few boxes during open enrollment and move on—but are we truly maximizing what's available to us?

This week, we sit down with Joe Saul-Sehy, host of Stacking Benjamins, to uncover the hidden value in workplace benefits. From disability insurance pitfalls to term vs. whole life insurance, Joe walks us through key strategies to ensure we're not leaving money (or protection) on the table.

Joe also introduces a powerful HR benefits guide, a resource designed to help us navigate workplace perks with confidence. Whether it's understanding own-occupation disability insurance, avoiding junk policies, or knowing when to self-insure, this conversation is packed with actionable advice. If you've ever wondered whether you're making the most of your benefits—or if you're just blindly accepting what's offered—this episode is for you.
