- Ep. 139 | Telehealth 101
"How many times have you heard it said that the internet has changed modern life? Indeed, it's likely changed how you stay in touch with family and friends and buy goods and services, and it's probably even changed how you search for information about health problems" (Mayo Clinic).
Join us this week as we dive into the topic of telehealth, including how you can use it to streamline healing, access otherwise unavailable medical resources, and save time.SHOW NOTES

31 min - Ep. 132 | Distributing Your Treasures the Right Way w/ Connie Page
We are joined this week by Connie Page, Certified Trust and Probate Specialist, and Certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist!
"Though I do traditional real estate transactions—my personal focus is on Seniors, Trust and Probate real estate matters. Creating a plan for the family, and being part of the process, instead of the last call to sell property is what I excel at—the network of service providers I have makes me the first stop to find the right resource for the families needs.
With 35 years of experience, I bring an unusual depth of knowledge of both lending and real estate to my client’s side of the transaction. Being an avid advocate, counselor and masterful negotiator with a dash of pit bull is what makes me love what I do, all with a servant leader’s heart.
My goal is to change people's perspective of my industry one person at a time by providing 'Client-centric' service, putting the needs of the clients and their families first. Sometimes therapist, sometimes friend, but always professional, thorough and compassionate."
Join us as we explore how Connie is providing much-needed services to the Flathead Valley and beyond, helping her clients navigate the trust and probate administration process.
