EP. 7 : Natalie Black at Worden Thane P.C. | Lets Talk Wealth Podcast hosted by Robert Montes & Josie Allred

Estate Planning Basics with Attorney Natalie Black (Worden Thane) | Wills, Trusts, Probate & Powers of Attorney (Note : Not official legal advise) On this episode of Lets Talk Wealth Podcast, host Robert and co-host Josie talk with Natalie Black, a partner at Missoula law firm Worden & Thane, about her path from law school intern to partner and her “work hard, play hard” philosophy. Natalie explains core estate-planning documents—wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills—why powers of attorney matter even for young adults, and how failing to plan can trigger costly guardianship/conservatorship proceedings. The conversation covers probate in Montana, strategies to avoid it (beneficiary designations, joint ownership, transfer-on-death deeds, and trusts), and why beneficiary designations can override a will. They compare Montana practice to “big law,” discuss revocable vs irrevocable trusts (including estate-tax and specialized needs planning concepts), touch on UTMA and 529 considerations, and highlight real-world scenarios involving incapacity, family conflict, and fraud risks.

Esplicito

In this episode of Lets Talk Wealth Podcast, the host welcomes friend and jiu-jitsu training partner Sam Alderson, sharing stories from early rolls and Sam’s long-running dominance on the mats. Sam explains the biggest positive impact in his life: learning to be a good friend to yourself—honest, helpful, and kind rather than self-tyrannical. He discusses growing up in Montana, disliking school, and finding his path as an artist, including glassblowing and later using Instagram to build his business. Sam connects American pipe-making glass culture to MMA, and outlines his views on discipline, creativity, and avoiding reliance on AI for thinking or art. He reflects on his grandfather's influence, his approach to learning and teaching jiu-jitsu, and what he hopes to teach his son Remy. He closes by sharing where to find his work: Alderson Studios on Instagram and aldersonstudios.com. Sponsored by Nexus Wealth

Nexus Insights #4 : The Evolution of Financial Strategies: Insights from the Nexus Podcast

Active vs Passive Investing in 2026 + AI, Anxiety, Buying a House, and Building Real Financial Security | Nexus Insights | Letstalkwealthpodcast.com | Sponsored by Nexus Wealth Management Robert Ellington-Montes and co-host Josie Allred (Here in Missoula, MT) record a recap episode of Nexus Insights after a guest cancels, reflecting on markets since the end of 2025 and themes heading into 2026. They discuss passive versus active management, citing SEI Private Trust’s all-equity strategy finishing around 24% versus the S&P 500 near 17.9% in 2025, and argue volatility and abundant information (including AI tools like Grok) may favor active managers. They address doomscrolling, decision paralysis, and fear-driven moves like buying physical gold, highlighting long drawdowns, markups, and custody constraints in IRAs. The conversation expands to younger adults’ challenges buying homes, building credit, budgeting with tools like Monarch, delayed gratification, and career/income growth through systems and daily focus. They cover foundational planning steps: emergency funds, debt payoff, capturing 401(k) matches, basic investing defaults like target-date funds, plus life insurance, estate documents, and resilience through health and “doing hard things.”
