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.
