What Probate Really Means

Protect What You’ve Built. Live Without Fear.

You’ve worked hard to build success. But here’s the truth: wealth creates risk. A lawsuit, a divorce, a medical emergency, or even one bad signature can wipe out everything you’ve earned—unless you have a fortress around it.

Build Your Fortress is the practical, plain-English podcast for people who want to protect what they’ve built without becoming legal experts. Hosted by attorney, business coach, and former fire chief Chad Brocato, each short, powerful episode gives you actionable strategies to shield your assets, secure your legacy, and sleep better at night.

From trusts and LLCs to lawsuit-proofing and probate avoidance, you’ll learn how to:

Fortify your wealth using the 5 Pillars of Asset Protection

Avoid costly mistakes that leave you legally exposed

Protect your business, real estate, retirement, and family from the unexpected

Future-proof your success—without unnecessary complexity

This is not legal theory. It’s real-world asset protection for real people—delivered in 5–10 minute episodes you can actually use.
