In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Undeletable Dad Podcast, Tracy Poizner sits down with Ron Platt - serial entrepreneur, foster father, and systems-level advocate for families navigating divorce and parental alienation.

Ron shares the personal journey that led him to create the first divorce insurance product of its kind, alongside a national membership organization designed to support single and divorced families holistically — financially, emotionally, and structurally.

This episode is essential listening for fathers who want to protect their relationship with their children, even when life throws unexpected obstacles in the way.

• Ron’s foster parenting journey
  How becoming a foster father reshaped his understanding of family, permanence, boundaries, and advocacy — and what it taught him about children who’ve experienced trauma and instability.

• Why traditional systems fail divorced families
  From courts to child support enforcement to mental health access, Ron breaks down where the cracks are — and why parents often fall through them.

• The creation of Divorce Insurance (Support Insured)
  A groundbreaking insurance product that ensures child support and alimony payments continue in situations where the paying parent:

  • Dies

  • Becomes disabled

  • Is involuntarily unemployed

  • Declares business bankruptcy

  This protection prevents parents from being labeled “deadbeats” due to circumstances beyond their control — and protects children from sudden financial disruption.

• How Support Insured actually works

  • Affordable annual premiums

  • Coverage tied only to court-ordered support amounts

  • Up to 12 months of continued payments during hardship

  • Available to either parent

• Why this matters for fathers facing high-conflict divorce
  Financial collapse often leads to loss of parenting time, court sanctions, and alienation. This product helps fathers stabilize during crisis — without losing access to their children.

• The mission of NASDF (National Association for Single & Divorced Families)
  A first-of-its-kind membership organization offering:

  • Free & discounted mental health support

  • Career and employment resources

  • Childcare and family discounts

  • Advocacy for foster care reform

  • Programs aimed at preventing intergenerational poverty

• Foster care reform & child advocacy
  Ron explains how privatization, instability, and lack of consistent therapeutic care harm foster children — and what systemic changes must happen next.

Divorce doesn’t just separate families — it exposes them to financial, emotional, and institutional risk.

This episode shines a light on practical solutions, not platitudes. Ron Platt isn’t theorizing — he’s building infrastructure that protects parents and children when life doesn’t go according to plan.

If you’re a father navigating:

• Divorce or post-divorce instability

• Child support pressure

• Fear of losing access to your kids

• Systemic unfairness

…this conversation will give you clarity, options, and hope.

Thanks for listening - your kids thank you, too!

  • How this book, described as "a love story for men," has resonated globally, reaching readers who felt isolated and alone in their experiences.

• Understanding the Woke Narrative

  • A deep dive into why "woke" culture poses unique challenges to men's self-esteem and emotional health.

  • Discussion on why society quickly labels men as "toxic," pushing some toward self-denial and despair.

  • Dr. Gilda introduces her powerful three-step approach:
    "Frame it, Claim it, Tame it" to manage anger and emotional overwhelm.

  • Practical examples and communication strategies to foster better understanding in personal and professional relationships.

Tammy Cohen, brand messaging consultant and founder of the Women Beyond the Table Business Network is the author of Text Messages To My Kids, a book brimming with inspiration for how you (or your partner) can begin, renew or truly uplevel your connection with kids - especially those who don't live with you or who are in a phase of life where they don't seem open to hearing from you. By going where they are - ie., on their phones - you can meet them in familiar territory and get their attention in a new way. In our conversation, I highlight 10 different strategies Tammy used that any dad (or stepmom) can copy or adapt to suit their own family situation and fill a communication gap with love, attention, security and trust.
