  • Key Conversations | #14 - What No One Tells You About Retirement | Matt Gustafson
    Apr 22 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with Matt Gustafson, a Certified Professional Retirement Coach through The Retirement Project LLC and founder of MBG Coaching LLC, to talk about a stage of life we see all the time in real estate.We work with people who are getting close to retirement or have already retired all the time, and we know it is a major life change that goes far beyond leaving a job or downsizing into another home. Retirement can shift your identity, routines, relationships, sense of purpose, and the way you think about what comes next.That is why this conversation with Matt is such a valuable one. He works with people who are preparing for retirement as well as those already living in it, helping them navigate that transition with more clarity, confidence, and intention.We talk about what a retirement coach actually does, who this kind of support is for, and why preparing for retirement is about so much more than just the financial side. If retirement is on the horizon for you or someone you love, this is a conversation worth listening to.Connect with Matt Gustafson:- MBG Coaching LLC- mbgustafson@mbgcoaching.org- www.mbgcoaching.orgSubscribe for more Key Conversations with CJ and Katy Norman each week, and explore more at www.norman-homes.com

  • Key Conversations | #12 - What Estate Planning Really Means and Who Needs It | Andy Gregory
    Apr 8 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with Andy Gregory of Andy Gregory Law to talk about estate planning, what it actually means, who it is for, and when it makes sense to start the conversation.


    We know estate planning can feel like one of those things people put off, either because it sounds overwhelming or because they assume it is only for certain stages of life.


    Andy does a great job breaking it down in a way that feels practical and approachable, and we talk through who he helps, what his role looks like, and why having a plan in place matters more than people think.


    This is a really helpful conversation for anyone who wants to better understand how estate planning works and why it is such an important part of protecting your family, your wishes, and what matters most.
