Emplatre taped the intro and outro as well as the pilot episode of my podcast, The Cajun Counselor, which debuts on November 12-TOMORROW!!

I’m going to try to regularly put out two episodes a month. Beginning sometime in early 2026, The Cajun Counselor will occasionally have guests, but only one-episode avec guests per month.

What will The Cajun Counselor discuss?

Subjects about which I have great passion, including:

The human side of estate planning.

All things history, which I use to teach just about everything, e.g.,  the fundamental tenets of tax law-if you understand the history of a new law or a significant amendment to an old law, it makes understanding the new rule even easier, as well as when someone proposes a way around a law-a loophole-using a hyper-technical argument that flies in the face of why Congress made or changed the law-often a losing argument when going against the original legislative intent using tortured language construction.

Professional and classical ethics.

If there’s a case or ruling that I think bears upon the human side of planning, that’ll be potential grist for The Cajun Counselor’s proverbial mill.

I’m part Cajun and love music-Cajun music and others. I sing and quasi-rap. I’ll work music in, as well as Cajun cooking-just like ole Justin Wilson!!!

And, of course, LSU and SEC athletics might sneak in here too.

Y’all will hear a few Cajun words too, cher!!! And the Cajun cuss words can sneak past dat Anglais censor!!!

And lots of humor!!!

This pilot episode is really a “how y’all are” and a little of what to expect on The Cajun Counselor. My mantra is “havin’ a ball; makin’ a difference.” And I do plenty of both, y’all!!!

In the pilot episode, I take a few minutes to talk about what I see as a quickly developing cancer in the professional estate, charitable, and family business succession planning community-planners and advisors who hold themselves out as experts in, or limited to serving those, in the U(ltra) H(igh)N(et)W(orth) space.

There’s now even a UNHW Institute-pas bon!!! Besides being haughty, exclusivity-type-marketing, it ignores the fact that family emotional/psychological/communication issues have no investment minimums. The “minimums” that folks consider to be UNHW vary quite a bit, but it’s not unusual for that minimum number to be between $30 and $50 million dollars.

And I close this “pilot episode” of The Cajun Counselor with my quasi-rap, Estate Planning R Us.

Allons, y’all!!!
