Not the best show in the world, but I just keep it light.
Jen, thanks for conversational. So, yeah, thanks for coming on.
Let's see. I do have show notes here that. See, if I were better at this, I would have the show notes up already.
But we are going to discuss a couple of things. Memento Mori, Vacation as Vocation as a legacy, and anything that we can fit within those topics, including why you're a Lutheran, how these things are distinct in Lutheran theology and practice.
But to get us started off, your thing is organized afterlife. You are a probate attorney, huh?
[00:01:32] Jen: Yep. Probate and estate planning attorney.
And the.
There, there's a couple parts of that where you, I get to kind of see the results of people's lives, you know, on a daily basis.
And then kind of the importance of education, having an estate plan that works.
[00:01:55] Remy: Okay.
[00:01:56] Jen: So that's where the online stuff comes into it. Um, almost. I, I joke with people. There needs to be a Dave Ramsey of death.
[00:02:03] Remy: So that's nice. Oh my gosh. Can you please. That is so great. A Dave Ramsey of death. Can you please? That should be like your whole brand. That's amazing.
[00:02:18] Jen: It's like, it's like I say, I say in three words and everyone gets it. It's so funny.
[00:02:23] Remy: Yeah.
A Dave Ramsey of death. I'm writing that down. There's no particular reason I'm writing that down. I just think that is so great. Oh my gosh. It does, it does encapsulate everything you do. Huh? Because like now I totally get it.
[00:02:40] Jen: Yep.
[00:02:41] Remy: I totally get it. Wow.
Even though you're a probate attorney, how often do your friends and family ask you to go to traffic court for them?
[00:02:50] Jen: I've, I've done it a couple times.
Just probably more recently in my career I've been able to, to really niche down. But for a long time I was a, I was a small town attorney.
[00:03:01] Remy: Oh.
[00:03:01] Jen: And so like, like, I loved estate planning. And probate, but every once in a while, you know, like, I've been a city attorney for some small cities and, you know, traffic court for family, and I was successful.
[00:03:16] Remy: I.
I'm. I'm always amazed. I. It's going to sound like I get tickets all the time. I don't. I've used this guy twice in, like, the last 10 years. But there's this guy in our town, and I don't know. I mean, I assume it's legal because...
