Life's Essential Ingredients
Life’s Essential Ingredients is spinoff of C4 Leaders, a California based non-profit who uses PIZZA to guide all people in RISING TOGETHER. The show is hosted by two best friends who were college roommates at the University of San Francisco – (Jeff with a Mike). Just launched Season 6 with the show currently listened to in 145 countries and 1486 cities.
The educational and entertaining show takes a deep, yet humorous look at life’s essential ingredients. The hosts engage in interesting conversation with some of the world’s best leaders, authors, athletes, musicians, chefs, architects, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, comedians, CEOs, coaches, professors, teachers, and many, many, more industries and professions.
The goal of the show is to have the guest highlight their life’s essential ingredients and for the listener to add an ingredient or two to their life recipe.
The hosts create space for the guest to be the star of the show and provide an incredible platform to highlight their life, their business, their passion, and most importantly, their gift they share with the world.

Season 6 Episode #14 Ron Platt is coming from St. Peterburg, Florida (inform, inspire, & transform)
You can find Ron via his website https://www.nasdf.org
A serial entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience across insurance, real estate, and social advocacy, Ron has built a career defined by innovation and impact. But it’s his personal experience, both as a foster parent and advocate for families in crisis that shaped his true mission: to reform the systems that fail single-parent and divorced households.
This passion led to the creation of NASDF (National Association for Single and Divorced Families), a first-of-its-kind membership organization offering an umbrella of products, services, support and resources to support families nationwide.
Ron is also responsible for creating and launching the only divorce insurance product on the market called Support Insured, which guarantees the continuation of child support and alimony payments for up to one-year should the payor die, become disabled, involuntarily unemployed or declares a business bankruptcy.
Ron, thanks for sharing your gifts with children and families and thanks for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients.
