In Season 2, Episode 4 of Things I’m Working On, I talk with Mindy Previtera from Petrelli Previtera Law about prenuptial agreements. In our conversation we cover the basics of what a prenuptial agreement is and what can be included in it, I also ask very specific questions about what happens during a divorce in certain situations, what counts as premarital property, who should be thinking about getting a prenuptial agreement, and how much it costs to get one. This was a great conversation, and I hope that it helps you out as you are making decisions of your own!

In the second episode of season 2, Chrystina and Jen Gumbel from An Organized (after)Life have a conversation about what estate planning is, the types of questions you should be asking (both yourself and your loved ones), and what steps you can take towards preparing your estate right now.
It's also just the kind thing to do for your loved ones. The more you can get your things in order, the less hastle they will need to deal with later. It always comes back to community building.

In Episode 12 I talk with a friend from work, Priyal Shah, about an activity we just recently completed. After listening to Episode 5 of the Radical Candor podcast about how to have Career Conversations as a step towards being a better boss, I realized this would be a good activity to do in a group of colleagues as well as just one-on-one. We scheduled a month's worth of after hours meetings to have life conversations, discuss our visions and dreams, and build a career action plan.
In this conversation we discuss what we did, what worked well, what we would change for next time, and some of the benefits we got from completing the activity.
