In this episode, Matthew Jarvis welcomes Stevyn Guinnip, founder of Grow Wellthy, to discuss why health belongs in the retirement planning conversation. Stevyn explains how advisors can use a simple self-assessment to invite clients to share concerns and connect those concerns to financial goals, without stepping into the role of a healthcare professional. They explore the difference between lifespan and healthspan, the financial implications of declining health, and ways to budget for wellbeing and a safer home. The conversation also covers tracking health trends, the tools Stevyn uses with clients, and the value of personalized support. Matthew and Stevyn encourage advisors to give their own health the same thoughtful attention they bring to managing wealth.

In this episode, Matthew and Micah examine how advisors unintentionally make their teams' jobs harder, especially during Surge meetings. They explain why requesting paperwork and then ignoring it undermines morale, and why clear systems work better than relying on willpower. From separating essential tasks from optional preparation to putting signature pages where they cannot be missed, they share ways to make follow-through easier. Matthew and Micah also discuss helping team members understand how their work benefits clients through role-playing, meeting observation, and specific recognition. They close with practical ideas for collecting improvements during Surge, reviewing them afterward, and asking your team what you are doing that makes their work harder.
