About our Guest: 

Pedro Bautista is the founder of SLC Padel Club, Utah’s first dedicated indoor padel facility. Originally from Venezuela, Pedro moved to the United States to attend college in Florida before making Utah his home more than five years ago. A trained biomedical engineer, he built his professional career in medical manufacturing while maintaining a passion for fitness and athletics. Although his athletic background includes jiu-jitsu, boxing, CrossFit, running, and swimming, Pedro was introduced to padel through family and frequent visits to Miami and Europe, where the sport has experienced tremendous growth. Recognizing padel’s global popularity and the lack of dedicated facilities in Utah, he saw an opportunity to bring the sport to a new audience. Driven by a vision to create more than just a sports venue, Pedro founded SLC Padel Club as a community hub where people can connect, compete, and build lasting relationships through one of the world’s fastest-growing racket sports.

About Padel: 

Often described as a mix of tennis and squash. It is played in an enclosed box made of glass and wire mesh, allowing you to bounce balls off the walls. It uses a solid, stringless paddle with holes and a low-pressure tennis ball, and follows traditional tennis scoring.

The Biggest Mistake Families Make with Aging Parents
The Biggest Mistake Families Make with Aging Parents (Ep. 80)

The Biggest Mistake Families Make with Aging Parents (Ep. 80)

By |

In Episode 80 of Harnessing Your Wealth, Billy and Shaun Peterson sit down with John Diehl, Senior Vice President of Applied Insights at Hartford Funds, to discuss one of the most emotional and important conversations families will face—caring for aging parents.

Drawing from his work with the MIT AgeLab, John shares practical insight into recognizing early warning signs of aging, navigating difficult family conversations, and planning for future care before a crisis occurs. The discussion explores the emotional and financial realities of caregiving, the importance of preserving dignity and independence, and why avoiding these conversations can create lasting stress and conflict for families.

The episode also dives into topics such as long-term care costs, fraud targeting seniors, powers of attorney, family wealth transfer, and the importance of passing down not only assets—but values, wisdom, and legacy. Through personal stories and real-life client experiences, Billy, Shaun, and John highlight how financial planning has evolved far beyond investments into helping families prepare for life’s most difficult transitions.

Takeaways

  • Aging conversations are difficult, but avoiding them often creates greater emotional and financial stress later.
  • Families should begin discussing caregiving, health concerns, and future wishes before a crisis occurs.
  • Early warning signs of aging can appear gradually and may impact driving, finances, memory, and daily routines.
  • Preserving dignity and independence is one of the most important parts of caring for aging parents.
  • Financial planning today involves much more than investments—it includes family communication, caregiving preparation, and legacy planning.
  • Long-term care costs can significantly impact retirement and family finances if not planned for early.
  • Powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and estate planning documents are essential for every family.
