Meet Kevin, the radio veteran who’s been waking folks up for nearly 40 years! He’s broadcast from stations all over the map—New Jersey (insert your favorite Sopranos joke), Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New York, and beyond. But in 2002, he found his home in Mid-Missouri with his wife Donna and their three kids. Kevin is a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan—he bleeds green—and he’s just as passionate about his Phillies.

But there’s more to this guy than sports. He’s a total tech nerd, obsessed with anything computer-related, and yes, he’s even been to a couple of Star Trek conventions (which might explain why dating didn’t happen until college). These days, when he’s not on the air, Kevin’s chasing after his three grandsons, who keep him young and on his toes.

Oh, and let’s not forget Hamlet, his Min Pin/Min Dachshund mix, who adds plenty of chaos to the household. Whether it’s tech, sports, family, or his endless radio stories, Kevin’s got a lot to share. Hit that subscribe button to catch more!

Tim talks to entrepreneur Kieran Osborne from his base in Ashford, Kent.

Kieran began his career as a Business Relationship Manager with Lloyds Bank, but in 2017 was made redundant.

He was headhunted by an accountancy firm to open a legal arm of their business and this triggered an interest in Estate Planning.

He began to think about the bigger picture and started looking more closely at the gap in the market. It was clear to him there was a need for proactive legacy planning; a need for someone who could really talk to people about what their hopes were for their loved ones after they have gone.

From there Kieran developed a group of brands within the estate planning space but also forged relationships with local charities.
