After losing both of his parents, Chris saw how even well-prepared families struggle with the practical realities that follow a loss. His experience led to the creation of One Step After, a platform that bridges the gap between legal estate planning and the real-world tasks that come next. Key Takeaways: Use a clear, consistent interview process that focuses on values, skills, and long-term fit. One Step After connects legal estate planning with real-world after-loss management, covering the tasks often left out of the legal process. Families are encouraged to discuss estate plans early—beyond documents—to include personal wishes and meaningful details. The platform complements estate attorneys by offering clients practical, step-by-step guidance after a loss. Features like estate profiles and action roadmaps ensure families stay organized and supported through every step.   Quote for the Show: "It's so important to have conversations about what happens after someone passes... not just about the documents, but about expectations and stories." - Chris Vanderbilt   Connect with Chris: Website: https://onestepafter.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisvanderbilt/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567561799302  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onestepafter/  Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/cx0TS9AGRRY
