Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

How To Build Wealth Through Life Insurance

A clear, community-minded primer on life insurance and the wealth questions around it.

This is a plainspoken money conversation about life insurance, and it stays grounded instead of sounding like a pitch. The guest traces an unusual path into the field through marketing, then notes how many high-net-worth clients turned out to be regular workers, including nurses…

My Exit Plan – Are You Prepared?

Practical guidance for anyone who wants their wishes documented before confusion takes over.

It treats a hard subject with plain language: what happens to money, wishes, and family plans when someone has not left things in order. One real case anchors the piece, where money stayed in an estate account for years because there was no will, and the rest stays focused on…

How To Get A Job With The Federal Government

A practical guide to making a federal application match the posting.

The Black Nonprofits and Business Podcast treats a federal job search like work that rewards patience and a careful eye. Kimberly Holmes lays out a simple method: read the vacancy posting, line it up against the knowledge, skills, and abilities, then make the resume match.

Estate Planning 101 – w/Attorney Shakisha Morgan

Estate planning is framed as a practical safeguard for family, property, and legacy.

The piece treats estate planning as a practical way to protect family, property, and whatever a person hopes to leave behind. It is strongest when it stays close to the real stakes: Black land loss, distrust of lawyers, and the hard gap between wanting a lasting legacy and…

Why You Need a Will, Trust, and Power of Attorney - ASAP!

A blunt, practical estate-planning warning for families with property to sort out.

This episode treats estate planning as everyday family work, not abstract legal theory. It stays on the practical questions that people put off: who pays the bills, who can deal with the house, what happens to inherited property, and why the chosen trustee needs to be up to the…

A Conversation About Child Support, Special Needs Children, Divorce and More

Plainspoken legal guidance for families facing child support and guardianship questions.

This episode looks at two practical problems: whether child support can be recovered after a mistaken paternity belief, and what happens when an adult child with disabilities can no longer be legally managed by a parent.

When Your Nonprofit or Business Needs A CPA

A plainspoken look at when fast growth calls for stronger accounting support.

The Black Nonprofits and Business Podcast keeps the focus where it belongs: on what happens when money moves faster than the organization built to track it.

For Black Women Who Are Fat. Fine. Confident & Getting Fit

A fitness founder's grind becomes a clear-eyed story about confidence, business, and staying in her lane.

Ashley Redwood's story is a plainspoken account of building a fitness and wellness business while carrying more than one kind of scrutiny at once: being Black, being a woman, and being plus size.
