Welcome to another compelling episode of Real Wealth Podcast, proudly brought to you by Leading Edge Financial Planning. I'm your host, Mike Proctor, and today we're delving into the intricate world of aging and dementia care with our esteemed guest, Robert Miller.
Robert, a seasoned elder care professional turned professor, brings a wealth of experience from his impressive background. With 12 years dedicated to business development and operations at Comfort Care Homes, he rose to become the Senior Vice President. As the founder of Care Pitch, his consulting firm, Robert lends his expertise in care consulting, private care, patient advocacy, and coaching. Currently contributing to the College of Health Professions in the Department of Public Health Sciences at Wichita State University, Robert teaches classes on aging. Additionally, he co-founded the annual Conference on Dementia in Kansas, attracting over 850 participants annually before stepping back.

- The costs of care range widely depending on the level of care needed, from a few hundred dollars per week for some private care to over $10,000 per month for full-time nursing home care.
- Informal family caregivers provide the majority of care for those with dementia but it can be physically and emotionally taxing without support.
- Having the right legal documents like powers of attorney and advance directives in place avoids confusion and conflicts if medical decisions need to be made.

In this podcast, Dr. Roy Smith dives into his extensive experience working with family businesses and counseling clients. Dr. Smith openly shares about growing up in a dysfunctional family environment and how it has paved the way for becoming a therapist. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the emotional history of previous generations when working with families. Recognizing and connecting with people in the spiritual sense is highly prioritized among his work.
In this conversation, Dr. Smith includes points on prioritizing personal growth and taking the responsibility for one’s own “lostness” rather than trying to change others. Developing empathy starts with gaining a deeper understanding of oneself. He advocates for granting the next generation the freedom to individualize while remaining as an integral part of the family and business structure. Highlighting that challenges and setbacks provide opportunities for growth, Dr. Smith states the value of using one’s struggles and failures as a catalyst for personal development when faced head-on. God uses both comfort and discomfort to create environments that are conducive to spiritual prosperity.
Overall, this episode ventures into the transformative power of facing our own issues, fostering empathy, allowing the next generation change while still being part of the system, and reframing hardships as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to be avoided. Dr. Roy Smith’s insights provided valuable wisdom for both family businesses and the journey of individual development.
Key Points:
-
View struggles and failures as opportunities for growth rather than things to avoid.
-
The importance of acknowledging issues from previous generations in a family business and dealing with underlying emotional history.
-
Developing empathy by understanding ourselves more fully.
-
God uses both comfort and discomfort to create environments for our spiritual development.

In this heartfelt episode of the Real Wealth Podcast, we invite you to join us in a deeply personal conversation with local celebrity Katie Taube, a Fox Kansas news anchor. Hosted by Mike Proctor, CFP®, RICP®, CVGA, this episode is all about the meaningful connections Katie has forged in her two-decade journey in broadcast journalism, the life-changing lessons she's gathered, and how she's discovered that what truly matters is the people in her life.
Katie begins by sharing her career path, reminiscing about her beginnings in smaller markets and the valuable experiences that molded her into the accomplished news anchor she is today. She also takes time to discuss the stories that have touched her heart along the way.

She takes us through the fear and uncertainty they felt when he was diagnosed in 2001 and the rollercoaster of treatment options they navigated together. With a glimmer of hope, she shares the story of Dylan's stem cell transplants and targeted therapy, which ultimately led to his cancer going into remission over a year ago. This life-changing experience has made Katie realize that what truly matters are the people we hold dear.
Katie highlights the significance of friends and family who show up with practical support during tough times, without the need for an invitation. She also talks about the value of being open to criticism and remaining teachable to grow in your chosen path.
In a reflective moment, Katie shares how her priorities have shifted, placing family over career ambitions and cherishing every shared experience. The conversation covers various topics, from the differences between local and national media to the importance of asking questions and releasing control over the things we can't change.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of Katie Taube's extraordinary career journey, personal growth, and the profound value of relationships, from the heights of professional success to the depths of facing health challenges.
