An Independent Medicare Health Insurance Agency

Trusted Resources from Our Family to Yours

A Personal Note from Niki

Hi, I’m Niki Feret—founder of Brickhouse Agency. And yes, I’m married to Matt Feret.

You might recognize his name from his books, courses, or podcast. He’s the author of Prepare for Medicare and Prepare for Social Security, and the host of The Matt Feret Show—a podcast focused on life after 50.

Matt and I have spent our careers helping people navigate Medicare, healthcare, and retirement. While Brickhouse is where I work one-on-one with people like you, Matt focuses on education and content—books, videos, podcasts, and courses that help people make smart decisions.

This page is a collection of trusted resources created by Matt—and curated by me—to help you go even deeper, whether you want to learn on your own or just get a second opinion.

Medicare Courses by Matt Feret

Matt’s courses are designed to make Medicare clear, calm, and actionable—without the pressure of a sales pitch. If you’re turning 65, still working, or helping a loved one, these self-paced videos walk you through the most important Medicare decisions with confidence.

Explore Matt’s Courses:

  • The Prepare for Medicare Mini-Course – A quick, clear overview of what Medicare is and how it works
  • Medicare Supplement vs. Medicare Advantage – Learn the key differences and which path may fit your life best
  • Preparing for the AEP (Annual Election Period) – What to do before Medicare’s biggest enrollment window

These courses are hosted by Matt and available on demand. They’re a great companion to the one-on-one guidance we offer here at Brickhouse.
