Samantha Russell, Chief Evangelist at FMG, joins hosts Anne Rhodes, Chief Legal Officer at wealth.com and Thomas Kopelman, Head of Community at wealth.com and Founder at AllStreet Wealth, to share her personal story and how major life events led her to view estate planning in her life—that it’s not just something the top 1% do when they’re older but is also about giving loved ones peace of mind and clarity. She discusses how selling the company she and her husband, Ryan Russell built (Twenty Over Ten) was acquired by FMG, led them to taking estate planning seriously due to the financial windfall. But when the unimaginable happened and her husband was diagnosed with cancer, estate planning took on a whole new meaning for her and her family. You can buy her husband’s book, which she discussed in the episode, on Amazon here: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1804090840?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_F0F592E6F9AJY05AHNZ5).">https://www.amazon.com/dp/1804090840?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_F0F592E6F9AJY05AHNZ5.</a>
