Helping military and federal government families is a special niche, one that requires some specialized knowledge and a level of empathy that not too many advisors can showcase. Their needs are specific and specialized, and the advisor’s skill set must follow suit to serve them well. Kate Cote has developed a practice around these skills and knowledge, and her clients are as loyal as can be as a result. Don’t miss this fact-filled episode on niche practice development as its finest. Kate Cote, specializes in helping active and retired military families transition to the private sector and federal government employees navigate towards retirement. Kate is the owner of Red Clover Financial Planning, an independent financial advisory firm that offers its clients a personalized holistic approach to financial health and personal happiness that is accessible no matter where life takes them. Kate has over 20 years of experience in the financial service industry and is a certified financial planner. She is committed to delivering financial plans that serve as a comprehensive action-oriented roadmap. As a military spouse and after years of experience helping government employees, Kate is well-versed in the benefits and challenges employees in these areas face and desires to help them maximize their opportunities to live their best lives now.  Their benefits really put them in a position where they can retire early, but definitely planning has to be done around that because usually the pension isn’t enough to fund their lifestyle when they retire. So, you know, you have to build up assets that can be accessible without penalty or create other passive streams of income so that they can do it . . . They have the pension, which is huge. It can be quite significant amount of money. And then the other thing that helps make it possible to retire early is the healthcare benefits that they receive. Military can continue with Tricare and government employees can continue to pay the employee amount for the health insurance that they have, which is quite a bit less than what you would have to pay out on the open market or even for a supplement plan when you go on Medicare at age 65.Kate Cote, Owner, Red Clover Financial Planning

Episode 62 - Kate Cote

Interview! Kate Cote, Founder of Fur Love Comfort Cats “It’s always such a wonderful time to visit a place for 5 to 6 hours, letting people pet and interact with the cats, and brightening up someone’s day."   Kate Cote has worked with cats most of her life and Fur Love Comfort Cats involves outreach to nursing homes, schools, libraries and even individual homes to comfort people who can’t otherwise have a pet. It’s amazing therapy and she witnesses inspiring stories of hope and comfort everywhere she and her cats visit!   Kate was only two months old when a cat saved her life by fending off a giant rat that had attacked her! Since than, her love for cats has continued to grow. She has had thirteen Fur Love cats over the years, each of which has made all the difference to a person needing a little snuggle.   The idea behind the program was a natural one for Kate, as she had always taken her cats with her everywhere she went. A friend suggested that she should take the cats to a nursing home to visit with the elderly and soon, it became a reality! Kate would take her cats any place that would accept a cat for a visit! The program quickly grew and Kate trained more cats and kittens to be able to work as visiting cats!She loves how the cats bring about change in all the people that they visit -- not just the residents at a nursing home, but even the receptionists! Everyone looks forward to the visits, which are a truly positive experience that brings everyone together.   Kate does need to be careful, however, when she is out and about visiting places with her cats. She never would declaw her cats, but it’s also important that nursing home residents who may be on medicine or who are on the fragile side don’t get scratched. Kate's policy is generally that the cats needs to stay in their comfort zone, and people aren’t allowed to pick them up.   Kate would ultimately love to see a partnership between animal shelters and prisons, as she believes that prisoners could benefit from the type of pet therapy she brings to nursing homes as well.   For more information, head over to https://furlovecomfortcats.com/.
