Today we are so excited to welcome Ron Platt, CEO and co-founder of the National Association for Single and Divorced Families, also known as NASDF.
After nearly four decades in business, insurance, real estate, marketing, and entrepreneurship, Ron brought his experience together to create an organization designed specifically for people navigating divorce or living in a single family household.
NASDF serves as an umbrella for practical products, trusted resources, professional support, and member benefits to help families build greater stability during and after major life transitions.
His own experience leaving a long-term toxic relationship helped him understand how isolating and destabilizing separation can be.
As a foster and adoptive parent, he also saw firsthand how gaps in the family, mental health, and legal systems can leave children and parents without the support that they need.
Those experiences inspired his commitment to family advocacy and helping people find guidance before they reach a crisis point.
One of NASDF's most distinctive resources is Support Insured, a product designed to help protect court-ordered child support or alimony payments if the paying party dies, becomes disabled, experiences involuntary unemployment, or faces business bankruptcy.
Today, we'll talk about the real challenges single and divorced families face, why support systems matter, and how practical tools can help people move from chaos towards greater security and confidence.
