My guest is Ron Platt, CEO and Co-Founder of the National Association for Single and Divorced Families — an organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for single and divorced households across the country.
Ron is also the creator of Support Insured, the first divorce insurance product designed to protect families by guaranteeing child support and alimony payments if the payor dies, becomes disabled, loses their job involuntarily, or declares bankruptcy. It’s a powerful safety net for families navigating the uncertainty that often comes with divorce.
But Ron’s work isn’t just professional — it’s deeply personal.
From fostering a young LGBTQ+ teen who became his son, to surviving a painful 14-year relationship that ended before marriage equality made divorce possible, to rebuilding his life during the Great Recession — Ron’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and advocacy.
In this episode, we talk about:

Surviving and thriving after divorce
Protecting children’s financial future
Reforming systems that fail families
And how personal pain can become powerful purpose

This is a conversation about rewriting your life — and helping others do the same.
