The $6M Mistake Most Homeowners Never Consider

April 16, 2026

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

🏗️ Build Phase Risk: Major assets can be exposed before they’re even completed

📈 Success Problem: More wealth = more things that can go wrong

🧠 Blind Spots: The biggest risks are often the ones you never think to ask about

📅 Proactive Planning: Protection needs to evolve as your life evolves

🤝 Coordinated Strategy: Gaps show up when professionals aren’t aligned

As your wealth grows, so does your exposure to risk, but your protection strategy doesn’t always grow with it. Rob shares a real-life case of a multimillion-dollar home under construction that had no coverage in place if disaster struck during the build. It’s a clear reminder that the most dangerous risks are often the ones you’re not thinking about, and why proactive, ongoing planning is crucial as your financial life becomes more complex.
