Today, I'm excited to welcome Bill Perkins to the podcast. Bill is an entrepreneur, hedge fund manager, investor, and bestselling author of Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life. Throughout his career, he's challenged one of the most common assumptions about wealth: that accumulating more money should always be the ultimate goal. Instead, Bill encourages people to think differently about how they use their time, health, and financial resources to create a more fulfilling life.

Far too many retirees spend decades building wealth only to discover that saving money is much easier than confidently spending it. Bill believes retirement isn't about maximizing your account balance; it's about maximizing your experiences while you still have the health and time to enjoy them. That means being intentional about when you travel, when you create memories with loved ones, and even when you pass wealth on to the next generation.

In our conversation, Bill explains why money should always serve your life instead of becoming the goal itself, how "time bucketing" can help prioritize life's most meaningful experiences, why health may be your most valuable retirement asset, and how intentionally spending, giving, and creating memories can ultimately lead to a richer and more purposeful retirement.

Here's how: Just text the word BOOK to 888-599-4491, and we'll send you a link to claim your free copy!

In this podcast interview, you'll learn:

  • Why maximizing fulfillment—not maximizing wealth—should become your retirement goal.
  • How time bucketing helps you prioritize experiences before opportunities disappear.
  • Why your health becomes one of your most valuable retirement resources.
  • How memory dividends can create lasting returns long after an experience ends.
  • Why intentionally giving wealth during your lifetime may create a greater legacy than leaving an inheritance after you're gone.
  • How designing simple systems can help you live more intentionally instead of on autopilot.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Phil Pearlman to the podcast. Phil is the founder of the Pearl Institute, a clinical psychologist, former financial executive, and one of the leading voices exploring the intersection of health, behavioral psychology, and long-term performance. Through his writing, coaching, and research, he helps people build healthier lives by focusing on sustainable habits, emotional resilience, and purposeful daily decisions.

After years of success in finance, Phil experienced his own health transformation that completely changed how he thinks about performance, longevity, and fulfillment. Today, he believes one of the biggest blind spots in retirement planning isn't your portfolio, it's your health. Because no matter how well you've prepared financially, it's difficult to enjoy the retirement you've worked so hard to build without the physical and mental capacity to fully experience it.

In our conversation, Phil shares why health and wealth follow many of the same behavioral principles, how our relationship with food and money is driven by the same psychological forces, and why improving your health may be the greatest investment you can make in your future.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn:

  • Why your health may be the most overlooked risk to a successful retirement.
  • How our relationship with food and money is shaped by the same psychological biases.
  • Why lasting health habits are built through identity, not willpower.
  • How improving your metabolic health can lead to better decisions, focus, and resilience.
  • Why comparing yourself to your past self and nobody else creates the greatest long-term progress.
  • The simple daily habits Phil believes deliver the biggest return for your future health.

Today, I'm honored to welcome Bill Bengen to the podcast. Bill is widely known as the father of the 4% Rule and as one of the most influential retirement-income researchers in history. His groundbreaking research transformed the way financial advisors and retirees think about generating sustainable income in retirement, and his work continues to shape retirement planning decades after its initial publication.

Over the past 30 years, Bill has studied hundreds of historical retirement scenarios to better understand how retirees can spend confidently without the fear of running out of money. In his latest book, A Richer Retirement: Supercharging the 4% Rule to Spend More and Enjoy More, he challenges many assumptions people have about retirement spending and financial security.

In our conversation, Bill addresses one of the biggest misconceptions about the 4% Rule, which was never intended to be a spending target for everyone, why inflation remains the greatest threat to retirement income, and how market valuations impact sustainable withdrawal rates. Bill also shares his views on diversification, annuities, retirement spending, and the common reasons retirees continue to underspend despite having more than enough.

  • How market valuations influence sustainable withdrawal rates and retirement income planning.

In a world filled with headlines, predictions, and never-ending market chatter, Jesse brings a refreshing perspective for understanding what's actually important for your retirement plan.

Jesse began his career as an aerospace engineer before transitioning into personal finance, combining analytical thinking with clear communication. His work has been featured in outlets such as CNBC and The Wall Street Journal, and his writing has gained a strong following for its ability to simplify complex financial topics, including investing, tax planning, and retirement strategy. We've featured Jesse's work many times over the years in our Weekend Reading series, and for good reason.

In our conversation, we explore the concept of "signal vs. noise" and how it applies to retirement planning. Jesse explains why so much of what we hear in the media is designed to grab attention rather than provide value, and how retirees can filter through that noise to focus on what actually impacts their long-term success.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn:

  • How to distinguish between financial "signal" and "noise" in today's media landscape.
  • Why confidence in retirement comes from adaptability, not perfect predictions.
  • How sequence of returns risk impacts your retirement more than average returns.
  • Why tax planning requires looking at your entire retirement timeline, not just the next year.
  • The concept of "before and after" tax phases and how they shape your strategy.
  • How different withdrawal strategies work and why there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
  • Why understanding your own biases is critical to making better financial decisions.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Michael Long to the podcast. Michael is a physicist-turned-writer and the co-author of the international bestseller The Molecule of More. His work explores one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives: the brain chemical dopamine — and how it influences motivation, ambition, and our constant drive for "more."

Michael is also the author of Taming the Molecule of More: A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Dopamine Work for You. Over the course of his career, he has written speeches for members of Congress, presidential candidates, Fortune 10 CEOs, while also teaching at Georgetown University and producing award-winning screenplays.

In our conversation, Michael explains why dopamine isn't actually the chemical that makes us happy, it's the chemical that makes us want more. More trips, more gadgets, more fun stuff on our phones. We discuss how this pursuit of "more" drives innovation and progress, but can also leave retirees feeling restless or unfulfilled if they're not careful.

Michael also shares practical ways to recognize when dopamine is driving your decisions, how to create healthier habits that restore balance, and why learning to live more fully in the present moment can transform your experience of retirement.

  • Why modern technology and social media can hijack your dopamine system.
  • How retirees can redirect dopamine toward curiosity, purpose, and meaningful goals.
  • The difference between dopamine (future-focused) and "here-and-now" brain chemicals.

  • Why learning to pause and appreciate the present moment can dramatically improve life satisfaction in retirement.

His work reframes aging not as decline, but as an opportunity to step into elderhood with purpose—drawing on wisdom, lived experience, and a renewed commitment to growth and contribution.

In our conversation, we explore what it truly means to become an elder in today's world. Ron shares the catalysts that led him into this work, including profound health challenges that reshaped his perspective on purpose and calling.

We also discussed the three-phase transition into elderhood and why honoring each stage is essential for discovering what's next after retirement.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Sharon Bergquist to the podcast. Sharon is a board-certified physician, research scientist, founder of Emory Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness, and an internationally recognized leader in lifestyle medicine.

She has led or co-led over a dozen clinical trials that have received $61 million in funding to evaluate lifestyle interventions and identify early biomarkers for chronic disease, including ongoing studies for early detection of Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Her work is at the forefront of how we understand the role of stress and resilience on our health and longevity.

As the author of The Stress Paradox: Why You Need Stress to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier, Dr. Bergquist brings a deeply personal and scientific perspective to the conversation. She shares how early-life adversity shaped her understanding of resilience and how decades of clinical research led her to challenge the conventional narrative about stress. Sharon explains why not all stress is harmful, how the body is biologically designed for growth through challenge, and why eliminating stress may actually harm long-term health and longevity.

In our conversation, we explore the science behind how good stress in the "Goldilocks Zone" can strengthen the body and mind. Sharon outlines how purposeful stress supports mitochondrial health, cognitive function, physical capacity, and emotional well-being, and explains why recovery is just as essential as the challenges we create and overcome.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Fritz Gilbert back for his second appearance on the podcast. Fritz is an award-winning blogger and author of The Retirement Manifesto, one of the most influential retirement blogs in the country. He has now been retired for six years, and while many people think the big transition ends the day you leave the workforce, Fritz's journey proves that retirement continues to evolve in meaningful, surprising, and deeply personal ways.

Recently, he announced he is stepping away from full-time blogging to spend more of his life "outside the walls," shifting his time toward family, exercise, charitable work, and the flexibility that first drew him to retirement. Fritz explains why stepping back wasn't a loss—it was a necessary reshuffling of cards in the ongoing "game of retirement poker."

In our conversation, Fritz discusses the surprising emotional journey of redefining retirement. He explains why he has never struggled with boredom, depression, or identity loss, and highlights how he avoided the most difficult retirement phase that nearly 70% face.

We also talk about one of the most overlooked elements of retirement satisfaction: giving yourself permission to spend your money—or gift to your kids—while you can enjoy the benefits, rather than clinging to your savings out of habit or fear. Fritz explains why intentional spending is not only rational but also often essential for living a fully realized, purposeful retirement.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn:

  • How Fritz avoided boredom, identity loss, and the infamous "retirement dip."
  • The surprising emotional transition his wife experienced after caregiving.
  • Why replacing the non-financial benefits of work is a must.
  • How to refine a bucket strategy and reduce interest-rate risk in retirement.
  • The real challenge of Roth conversions and why liquidity matters.
  • Why many retirees spend too little and how Fritz overcame that fear.
  • How to support adult children without jeopardizing their independence.
  • Why the 90/10 rule becomes unavoidable in retirement.

Today, I'm speaking with David McKnight. David is a best-selling author, world-renowned tax strategist, and financial educator who challenges some of the most popular (and misleading) retirement gurus and influencers in the financial advice space. He's also a great friend, and beloved guest on the show and I'm excited to welcome him back for a 3rd time on the podcast.

David is well known as the author of The Power of Zero which was made into a full-length documentary film. In his latest book, The Guru Gap, he exposes why one-size-fits-all financial guidance from so-called experts often leaves retirees underprepared and overexposed to risk.

We discussed the psychological appeal of "guru" advice and how to identify when those blanket statements—like "annuities are bad" or "the 4% rule always works,"—do more harm than good. One of the things that I love about David is that he shares math-based insights into retirement income planning. We're talking about the true cost of longevity risk, and why annuities can often create more liquidity and peace of mind than traditional withdrawal strategies.

David also shares his perspective on the newly extended tax cuts, how to time Roth conversions in light of the One Big Beautiful Bill, and the three critical questions everyone needs to answer before moving money from tax-deferred to tax-free accounts.

Whether you're skeptical about annuities, curious about LIRPs, or confused by conflicting advice online, this episode will help you cut through the noise and design a retirement plan that's truly tailored to you—not to the masses.

Today, I'm speaking with Edward McQuarrie. Ed is the Professor Emeritus at Santa Clara University, where he taught in the marketing department for more than three decades before retiring in 2016. After stepping away from teaching, Ed pursued a new passion in researching financial market history and retirement income planning.

His work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, and Barron's, and he frequently contributes to our Weekend Reading for Retirees series. He was introduced to us by past guest William Bernstein, who insisted Ed would be a must-hear voice on the show.

In this conversation, Ed challenges decades of conventional wisdom around investing. He explains why "stocks for the long run" isn't always the safest bet, how cherry-picked data can mislead investors, and why separating risk-free assets from growth assets may be more important than diversification alone. Ed also shares the insights from his extensive historical research, covering stock and bond returns going back to the 1700s, and how it relates to retirement planning today.

We also dig into the evolving conversation around Roth conversions, the limitations of relying solely on stocks and bonds, and why tools like TIPS ladders or annuities can help secure baseline retirement income. Ed's clear-eyed, historically grounded perspective will challenge the assumptions you've been taught and help you build a more resilient, reality-based plan for the future.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn:

  • Why "stocks always outperform bonds" is a myth—and what 200 years of history actually reveal.
  • The risks of relying on cherry-picked data in financial planning.
  • How economic "regimes" shape investment returns across decades and centuries.
  • Why risk separation, not just diversification, is key to retirement planning.
  • The pros and cons of Roth conversions—and why sometimes doing nothing may be the smartest move.
  • How to use TIPS ladders, annuities, and other tools to secure your baseline retirement income.

Living longer is one thing. Living well is another. In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Bobby Dubois, we unpack the final three pillars of his blueprint for longevity: mind-body harmony, heat & cold exposure, and social relationships.

Dr. Bobby explains why practices like meditation, breathwork, and even walking in nature can calm the brain and lower anxiety. We also explore the science-backed benefits of sauna and cold plunging—and what’s hype versus what’s real. Finally, we uncover why social connection is the single strongest predictor of living a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.

If you want practical, evidence-based ways to boost your health, not just your longevity, this episode shows you how to put it all together.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How meditation and breathwork improve brain and heart health.
  • Why saunas reduce risk of heart attack and stroke.
  • The science behind cold plunges and their impact on mood and happiness.
  • Why social connection is the strongest predictor of longevity, even more than exercise.
  • How to be your own “quarterback” for health and wellness instead of hiring multiple coaches and gurus.

Today, I’m speaking with Dr. Bobby Dubois. Dr. Bobby is a Harvard-educated physician, Board-Certified in Internal Medicine with over 25 years of experience. He’s an author, entrepreneur, wellness doctor, and Ironman Triathlete. Most recently, he led a health policy research organization in Washington, D.C. (National Pharmaceutical Council) as its Chief Science Officer and Executive Vice President.

Prior to that, he served as the Chief Medical Officer of Cerner Life Sciences and co-founded Proto Care Sciences. He's the host of the Live Long and Well podcast and has made it his mission to help others cut through the noise and live longer with more energy as they age.

The simple fact is, most retirees and pre-retirees want more time, energy, and independence to enjoy the life they’ve worked so hard to build. However, the reality is that longevity without good health won’t achieve the lifestyle that most retirees envisioned during their working years.

In part 1 of this 2-part conversation, we delve into the life-extending benefits of aerobic exercise, the scientific advantages of consistent sleep, and the surprising role of relationships in promoting increased longevity. Dr. Bobby outlines his six pillars of health and explains how to apply them in retirement. And here’s the good news: it’s never too late to start.

In its simplest form, his advice is strikingly similar to what you’d hear from a financial advisor: It’s much better to start saving and exercising young, but it’s never too late to start. If you want to live not only longer, but better, this episode provides a clear path and roadmap to get there.

Today’s guest is Dr. Daniel Crosby, a leading psychologist and behavioral finance expert who helps individuals and organizations understand how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors intersect with the markets—and ultimately, our sense of purpose.

He serves as Chief Behavioral Officer at Orion Advisor Solutions and is the bestselling author of The Soul of Wealth: 50 Reflections on Money and Meaning. He’s been recognized by AARP and Monster.com as a top financial thinker and is the host of the Standard Deviations podcast.

Daniel was on the podcast back in 2020, and I’m thrilled to have him back on the podcast to explore how uncertainty continues to shape investor behavior and how political biases can derail sound investment decisions. We discuss the psychological toll of financial news overload, why tuning out the noise is essential, and the critical importance of focusing on the controllable aspects of wealth-building.

In our conversation, you’ll hear Daniel explain why wealth alone doesn’t lead to fulfillment—and how retirees, despite having ultimate time freedom, often struggle with depression and a lack of direction. He shares the five facets of a flourishing life and offers a fresh lens on using fear as a spotlight for opportunity.

Daniel’s last appearance on the pod was fantastic, and I think this conversation is even better, so you won’t want to miss it!

Today, I'm speaking with William Bernstein. Bill is a renowned investment advisor, author, and retired neurologist. He's the co-founder of Efficient Frontier Advisors, a leading voice in the world of personal finance, and the author of several acclaimed books, including The Four Pillars of Investing, The Investor's Manifesto, and The Intelligent Asset Allocator.

With a unique background in neurology and finance, Bill brings a practical and evidence-based perspective to long-term investing, risk management, and financial behavior—especially for retirees and those nearing retirement. You'll hear why Bill believes the purpose of money isn't to buy things—it's to purchase autonomy, time, and peace of mind.

In our conversation, we explore what it really means to "win the game" of investing—and why continuing to play after you've won could jeopardize your retirement security. Bill breaks down the risks investors often overlook, including deep risk versus shallow risk, the need versus capacity and tolerance framework, and why having a basic understanding of financial history is an underrated skill set.

They also discuss how aging affects investment decisions, how burn rate should influence equity allocation, and why a purposeful retirement plan extends far beyond growing net worth.

Today, I'm speaking with Dr. Ross Andel. Dr. Andel is a gerontologist, professor, and director of the PhD program at Arizona State University. Ross has spent decades researching aging, memory, and lifestyle-related cognitive health risks. In 2023, he was elected a lifetime fellow of the American Association for his achievements in the study of risk factors for age-related cognitive decline for Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.

Dr. Andel explains how daily routines and purpose directly impact brain function and why some retirees experience faster cognitive decline than others. He shares his findings from several international studies—including his viral TED Talk, "Is Retirement Bad for Your Brain?"—and delves into why your post-retirement plan matters just as much as your financial one.

In our conversation, you'll hear why those who retire from high-level managerial careers may be at greater risk for faster cognitive decline in retirement, how volunteering and pursuing new hobbies improves brain function and Dr. Andel's poignant advice for anyone who is a caretaker for a loved one that is suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why retirement without purpose can accelerate cognitive decline—and how to avoid the retirement trap.
  • The connection between high-engagement careers and faster post-retirement mental decline.
  • What research says about sleep, supplements, and cardiometabolic health for brain function.
  • How race, gender, and job complexity influence cognitive aging differently.
  • Why routine, exercise, and meaningful engagement are essential to brain longevity.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome David Blanchett back to the podcast. David is the Managing Director and Head of Retirement Research at PGIM DC Solutions and one of the most respected voices in retirement income planning today. You've likely come across his work in Morningstar, Kiplinger, and our Weekend Reading series—and for good reason. His research has earned accolades from nearly every major financial planning organization.

In our conversation, we picked up where we left off back in Episode 55 with David's groundbreaking research on retirement spending patterns and adapting it to today's environment of elevated interest rates and persistent inflation. From challenging the idea of a "retirement crisis" that is making headlines everywhere to rethinking the 4% retirement income rule, David helps us distill the data and build income strategies grounded in behavioral and financial realities.

In our conversation, we discuss the value and confidence that guaranteed lifetime income annuities provide retirees and how inflation concerns are impacting spending patterns. If you're planning your retirement or considering an adjustment to your current plan, this episode is packed with insights to help you spend your hard-earned dollars with confidence and design a secure and fulfilling retirement.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why “retirement crisis” is an overused headline—and why “challenge” is the better word.
  • What David’s research reveals about how real retirees spend—and why most don’t adjust spending for inflation as expected.
  • Why a 5% withdrawal rate may be more appropriate than 4% in today’s interest rate environment.
  • The behavioral power of guaranteed income—and how it gives retirees the freedom to actually enjoy their savings.
  • How to build inflation hedges into your portfolio using tools like TIPS, annuities, and real assets.

He’s also the Professor of Practice at the American College of Financial Services and The Wall Street Journal has named him the best source for IRA advice.

We discussed his latest book, The Retirement Savings Time Bomb Ticks Louder, which is the ultimate guide to reclaim control of your financial future. We also discussed how to navigate taxes in retirement, Roth conversion strategies, the future of tax rates, and why IRAs may be the worst asset to pass on to your beneficiaries.

In our conversation, Ed weighs in on whether the new administration will extend the TCJA (Tax Cuts & Jobs Acct), the potential downsides of the extension, and why worrying about timing the market on Roth conversions isn't worth the stress. He always shares his expertise on why investors should take advantage of historically low tax rates while you can.

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Michael Finke. Michael is the Professor of Wealth Management at the American College of Financial Services. His research is focused on retirement income planning, retirement spending, life satisfaction, cognitive aging, and investor behavior. He’s published over 50 peer-reviewed articles, and I’m thrilled to have him back on the podcast today.

One aspect of retirement that many retirees struggle with is spending money that they’ve saved. It’s a mental block for many who have focused on saving money, even for those who have saved enough to live comfortably and enjoy their retirement years. For some, spending money on leisure and enjoyment seems like an irrational financial decision.

In our conversation, we explore the link between human nature and finance and why the fear of death and running out of money prevents us from making rational financial decisions. We also discussed the pros and cons of annuities and how retirees are often happier with guaranteed income versus a larger nest egg.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How Dr. Finke’s early research into food consumption led him to a career as a finance professor.
  • Reasons why so many people are uncomfortable spending down in retirement–and how to restructure your finances to shake common misconceptions.
  • The benefits of spending more in your 60s and 70s–even if you plan to live to 100.
  • The advantages of annuities and guaranteed income in early retirement years.
  • The psychology behind how using guaranteed income for spending leads to increased happiness.
  • The key factors that determine happiness for countless retirees all over the world.

Today, I’m talking to Mary Beth Franklin. Mary Beth is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, a former Capitol Hill reporter at United Press International, and the retirement and tax editor at Kiplinger Personal Finance. She also has a new edition of her bestselling book, Maximizing Social Security Benefits, a must-read for retirees and pre-retirees.

My first interview with Mary Beth was our most downloaded and most watched episode of this podcast, so I’m thrilled to have another chance to talk to her about Social Security (and if you haven’t listened to that first episode, be sure to do so before diving into this one, as it covers the foundational elements of Social Security).

In today’s conversation, we discussed what’s changed about Social Security over the last several years, how to take advantage of these changes in your financial and retirement planning, and, of course, the future of Social Security and its potential insolvency. You’ll also hear what semi-retirement looks like for Mary Beth, as she very recently semi-retired herself, and shares advice for anyone who still enjoys working in their pre-retirement years.

GET A FREE ACCESS TO MARY BETH’S BOOK: MAXIMIZING SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

Here's all you have to do...

  • Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes.
  • Step 2.) Text the word BOOK to 866-482-9559 and we’ll make sure you get signed up for free. It’s that simple!

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why so many of the Social Security claiming strategies that became popular in the late 2000s have disappeared.
  • What it would mean for Social Security to become insolvent–and why it’s highly unlikely for anything to be done about it anytime soon.
  • How your Social Security is calculated, and how to get a clear picture of what your benefits look like (or would look like) right now.
  • Why more people regret claiming benefits too early rather than too late.
  • Social Security claiming strategies that haven’t been eliminated by Congress, especially for divorced and widowed retirees.
  • What Mary Beth has learned from her husbands’ retirement and her own semi-retirement.

Today, I’m speaking with Darius Foroux. Darius’s work has been featured in Time, NBC, the Observer, and the Economist. He’s also the host of The Darius Foroux Show: Mindset, Business, Money, which is available on all podcast platforms. Darius teaches online classes on wealth building and has written eight books, including his newest work, The Stoic Path to Wealth: Ancient Wisdom for Enduring Prosperity.

In his new book, Darius applies ancient wisdom to the chaos of the modern-day market. He investigates how discipline, emotional distance, and self-mastery–techniques passed down over thousands of years–give us the tools to live better financial lives and weather economic storms today.

In this conversation, we explore how his experience as an immigrant helped shape his financial philosophy, why Stoicism is so uniquely suited to making sense of modern-day problems, and the beauty of staying on this path to build a purposeful life and legacy.

GET A FREE ACCESS TO DARIUS’S BOOK: THE STOIC PATH TO WEALTH: ANCIENT WISDOM FOR ENDURING PROSPERITY

Here's all you have to do...

● Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes. ● Step 2.) Text the word BOOK to 866-482-9559 and we’ll make sure you get signed up for free. It’s that simple!

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How moving from Iran to the Netherlands as a young child with almost no possessions helped him to achieve financial success on his own terms.
  • Why Stoicism gives people a clear vision for building long-term wealth.
  • What happened when Darius made the decision to become a writer–and how this high-risk bet ended up paying off.
  • The four pillars of Seneca’s life that you can use to shape a beautiful retirement and legacy.
  • Why it’s so hard to define what “enough” is, to find contentment, and avoid shiny object syndrome.
  • The power of creating a “non-attachment” to your money as part of a winning investing strategy.

Today, I'm speaking with Mike Golic Sr. Mike's career in the NFL began when he was drafted in the 10th round as a defensive lineman in the 1985 NFL draft. He has since gone on to have tremendous success in sports media as the cohost of Mike & Mike on ESPN and currently cohosts Gojo and Golic with his son, Mike Jr., at DraftKings.

He coauthored Mike and Mike's Rules for Sports and Life with Mike Greenberg and had millions of fans tuning into their sports-talk radio show on ESPN. You'll hear he transitioned from the playing field to land his first gig calling college games for ESPN and earning less money than his first year in the NFL and the support he had from his wife to pursue his new passion.

In our conversation, we explore how to navigate those transitions with grace, the unique challenges professional athletes (and entrepreneurs) face after their careers come to an often sudden end, and the lessons he learned from his parents to "find a way and figure it out" which stuck with him as he ventured into new territory after his playing career.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How Mike’s parents, the challenges of sports, and the rigors of academia helped teach him the value of hard work and make him the person he is today.
  • Why our definition of success has to change as we age–and how it changed for Mike as he left the NFL and ESPN to enjoy life as a parent and grandparent.
  • How NFL players are forced into retirement by the NFL and how changed his focus to providing for his family in the new arena of sports media.
  • The impact that career transitions have had on Mike’s relationship with his wife of almost 40 years–and his advice for staying in sync as you move on to the next step.
  • Why Mike’s family is at the heart of his purpose.

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Tom Kamber. Tom is the founder and executive director of Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) and Senior Planet. He is a leading expert on aging and technology and has provided award-winning programs for older adults across America.

Jim has taught courses on technology, urban studies, and philanthropy at Columbia University, is widely published in professional and academic journals, and is a co-founder of the Afro-Latin Jazz Alliance which has won multiple Grammy awards.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why people are so tired of talking about legacy–and why it’s making an impact that really matters.
  • The encounter with an 80-year-old woman who fell in love with dance later in life that radically shifted Tom’s perspective and practice.
  • How to address older people’s anxieties, resistance, or discomfort around new technology–and how Tom gets people over the age of 50 to participate in the Senior Planet community.
  • Why Tom believes AI has huge potential to empower seniors.

You’ll learn why Lux believes in the beauty of being a generalist, what inspired him to write this book, and how it changed his life during a time of great personal and professional uncertainty. You’ll also discover a few things we can do at every stage of life to live a kinder, grounded, and deeper existence.

Today, I’m talking to Dr. David Hulse, recently retired Professor Emeritus at the Von Allmen School of Accountancy and the Martin School of Public Policy at the University of Kentucky. He’s a contributing author for federal taxation textbooks and has written about our tax system in several journals.

He recently published a white paper called Roth Vs. Traditional Account Contributions and Tax Rate Uncertainty in the Journal of Financial Planning. It’s a fantastic and informative paper, and we wanted to bring David onto the podcast to break his complex argument down into something simpler and allow him to answer your questions.

With that in mind, in this episode, we discuss the difference between different contribution and decumulation strategies with someone who’s implementing them in his own life as we speak, the changing pace of life for new retirees, and how many people use a mix of retirement accounts and tools to avoid costly mistakes in this phase of life.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Important facts that many advisors don’t understand about Roth IRAs compared to traditional ones.
  • How to understand the government’s role as a “silent partner” in a traditional IRA.
  • How to assess whether a traditional or Roth IRA is right for you based on whether or not overall (or your personal) tax rate is going to go up.
  • Strategies you can use to address potential problems around required minimum distributions (RMDs) with traditional IRAs.
  • Why David is using a mix of traditional and Roth IRAs across his retirement accounts.
  • The reasons why there’s no simple “set and forget” strategy when it comes to retirement account planning.

Today, I'm speaking with Cynthia Covey Haller. Cynthia is an author, teacher, and speaker. You may recognize her name from her contributions to books by her father, Stephen Covey, best known for writing The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, or her brother, Sean, who wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make.

In our conversation, we delved into her book Live Life In Crescendo: Your Most Important Work is Always Ahead of You, which she co-authored with her father Stephen, and was published posthumously as his final book.

We talk about the life lessons Cynthia learned in the Covey household, how to live life with a perennial sense of purpose and play to your strengths, and how having some stress in your life isn't necessarily a bad thing and can actually improve longevity.

  • Why people like Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, and Julie Andrews embody what it means to live in crescendo.
  • How to shift your priorities, focus on your strengths, and spend more time doing what you love–especially if you’re rebuilding in the wake of a professional or personal tragedy or loss.
  • The unique value of “eustress" and how good stress helps to stay driven and ambitious even in retirement.
  • Simple ways to make a contribution, even if you don’t want to be a mentor or influencer.
  • Why it took over a decade after her father passed for Cynthia to finish Stephen’s final book–going from inspiration to millions of copies sold.

Today, I’m talking to Marie-Therese Connolly. MT Connolly is a lawyer working in the courts and in Congress to tackle an ongoing and fundamental issue of elder abuse–both physical and psychological–as well as financial exploitation and wrongful deprivation of rights.

She was instrumental in architecting the federal Elder Justice Act. She also founded the DoJ’s Elder Justice Initiative and authored the Elder Justice Roadmap.

In her book, The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money, and Meaning Later in Life, she addresses the challenges of aging, how things go wrong, and offers powerful tools we can use to forge better and healthier lives for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

In today’s conversation, MT and I discussed how we can protect our parents and grandparents, what our culture teaches us about aging (and conversely, what aging teaches us), and why it’s a great time to get old–even though our support systems appear to be broken.

  • How we as people underestimate the power of aging and its challenges.
  • What happened as MT fought for the Elder Justice Act, what went wrong, and what she’s optimistic about.
  • Why so many people don’t realize how many resources they need to cover long-term care, to stay in their homes, or get other support they might need.
  • How to evaluate retirement communities and care homes.
  • The common risks of families taking on caregiving.
  • Why old and young people are meant to spend time together and learn from one another.

Today, I’m speaking with Krista St-Germain. Krista is a Master Certified Life Coach, grief expert, and host of the Widowed Mom Podcast, where she specializes in helping widows move forward and love their life again.

When her husband was killed by a drunk driver just 3 ½ months after their wedding, her life was flipped upside down. As she worked through her loss, she realized that she can leverage her loss to make her life better and has helped others do the same. Her Moms Go On program has given hundreds of widowed moms the tools they need to create futures they can get excited about.

In today’s conversation, we dig into the biggest reasons people avoid talking about grief, the magic that can be found in post-traumatic growth and how grief doesn’t always work in the 5 stages that we’ve always heard about.

  • Why grief is so much more than just the feeling of bereavement.
  • How traumatic loss gives us the power to redefine our lives, find new meaning, and live more authentically.
  • Why Krista believes that the five stages of grief (DABDA) has become outdated, and what it means to truly and authentically navigate grief and the ways it affects our lives.
  • What Krista would’ve done differently to prepare for traumatic loss.
  • How to rethink our relationship to money as we navigate grief.
  • What–and what not–to say to people who have lost loved ones.

Today, I’m talking to Joan MacDonald–a 77-year-old fitness influencer with 1.8 million Instagram followers. At 70, she was on medication for high blood pressure and acid reflux. She suffered from arthritis, couldn’t walk up and down stairs, and feared she may suffer from additional health issues in the future.

She enlisted her daughter and fitness trainer, Michelle, to help and achieved astounding results. She joined a transformation group called The Wonder Women, lost 60 pounds, and now works with her daughter to inspire, motivate, and train others to improve their wellness at any age on Instagram, YouTube, and her program, Train with Joan.

Together, they co-authored Flex Your Age, Defy Stereotypes and Reclaim Empowerment.

In our conversation, Joan and I talked about what inspired her to finally make a major lifestyle change, how you can change your beliefs about physical health and aging at any age, and how to integrate simple exercises into your daily routine.

  • How to get over your fears and conquer the barriers stopping you from making big changes.
  • Why strength training doesn’t mean you’re going to look “bulky.”
  • How Joan tracks macronutrients to plan her meals to build muscle and lose fat–and why you don’t need to be perfect at this to achieve amazing results.
  • Why there’s never been a better time than now to get started.

Today, I’m talking to a baby boomer who has no intention of “retiring” – and is instead truly living a purpose-based retirement. John Anderson is the founder of Replace Retirement and co-founder of The CEO Advantage, and he’s on a mission to help others replace retirement as we know it with intentional living while finding your purpose on life’s journey.

In his book, Replace Retirement: Living Your Legacy in the Exponential Age, he teaches readers to create purposeful, rewarding, and inspired life plans. Filled with success stories and proven tools, he wants you to chart a course for a fuller, richer life today and continue making the world a better place for years to come.

In our conversation, John shares how he teaches others how to achieve their greatest potential, how to prevent your life or career from falling victim to disruptors before it’s too late, and everything you need to craft a legacy map and chart a course for the next phase of your life.

Today, I’m speaking with Dr. Chris Heye, CEO and Founder of Whealthcare Solutions and Whealthcare Planning. Chris is an entrepreneur, writer, researcher, and speaker working in the unique intersection of physical, behavioral, mental, and financial health.

His specialty is longevity and cognitive decline risks in retirement, and today’s conversation is all about the conversations you need to have with your financial advisor, your estate planning attorney, and even with yourself in order to prevent elder financial abuse.

In this episode, Chris and I dig into the experiences with dementia that led him to pursue his career path, how cognitive decline directly impacts one’s ability to make sound financial decisions, and when to start making emergency plans to protect yourself, your family, and your legacy.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why elders suffering from cognitive decline lose millions of dollars every year.
  • How psychiatrists and other specialists define cognitive decline and the associated conditions–and how this leads to impulsive behavior and overconfidence.
  • Why we’re still so far away from a cure for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
  • How to put together a team to help take over your financial decision making if and when the time comes–and how to have the important conversations with your family members who don’t want to talk about it.
  • Why it’s never been more important to stay active, maintain meaningful relationships, take on new challenges, and surround yourself with people you love late in life.
  • How Medicare and Medicaid do (and don’t) help with long-term care.

Today, I’m talking to Richard “Jet” Vertz. He’s a retired aviation business executive who spent 40 years in the aerospace business, a U.S. Navy service officer who served in Vietnam, and a teacher at the University of Rhode Island’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

His latest book is Purpose Driven Retirement, in which he shares a process designed to help readers create their Purpose Driven Retirement Bucket List–goals based on hobbies, passions, strengths, limitations, and aspirations to achieve in this far-reaching phase of life.

In our conversation, Jet shares life lessons from growing up in an orphanage in war-torn Korea before being adopted by an American GI at the age of 11, why a life of leisure in retirement isn’t always as fulfilling as we think it’s going to be, and how to chart a new course for the decades to come–no matter what life stage you're in right now.

  • How Jet started his first purpose-driven retirement group–and how finding and defining purpose in this stage of life gave him the structure and support he needed.
  • How to do a “purpose checkup” to make sure your life is moving in alignment with what you want–and want to give.
  • The difference between dreams and goals–and how to make the big things you want from life specific and achievable.
  • How (and why) to create a lifeline to tell the story of your life on a graph–and find your passion (and so much more) along the way.

My guest today is Dave Durell. Dave is a fitness coach, blogger, and speaker and has been in the health industry for over 40 years. He has worked as a personal trainer, an NFL strength and training and conditioning coach, and a physical therapist assistant.

We came across Dave’s work at StrengthAfter50.com, where he shares strength training tips, personal training guidance, and the latest research on fitness. He believes not just in staying strong after 50 but staying strong forever–and it all works a little differently at 50 compared to when we were in our 20s and 30s.

In this conversation, Dave and I explore what it means to be fit for life and to be able to live to the fullest. We discuss the benefits of strength training (and why lifting weights isn’t just for young people), what fitness programming looks like over 50, and the benefits of tools and tech toys designed to encourage recovery.

From there, we dig into what a full-body workout for retirees and pre-retirees might look like, how to get started, and the proper diet to support your body’s needs.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why so many retirees suffer when they have the time and the resources to live, but lack physical ability and mobility.
  • Why even putting 5 pounds of muscle on is a huge deal after the age of 50–and why you don’t have to train like crazy to achieve it.
  • The reason Dave won’t let many of his older clients train more than two days a week.
  • How to avoid getting hurt lifting weights.
  • Why Dave is such a big fan of exercise machines despite their criticisms.
  • The importance of nutrition–and especially protein–in a diet intended to build and keep muscle.

Today’s episode is a little different. I had the pleasure of being on Dr. Jordan Grumet’s Earn & Invest podcast and absolutely loved the content, so I’m sharing it with you all today. This is an in-depth discussion about what it truly means to find purpose at work, home and in retirement.

You might recognize Jordan’s name as he was my guest in May of this year. For those that don’t know, Jordan was an internal medicine physician before leaving his clinical practice to pursue a passion for deep conversations about money and life.

He’s the author of Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor’s Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life, a full-time author and podcaster, and a regular contributor to Medscape, MarketWatch, and many other outlets.

In this conversation, we covered a wide range of topics, including the story of my own semi-retirement, what it truly means to be job optional, how to unlock your true potential and set yourself up for success before and during retirement.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • What I learned when my son was born with a congenital birth defect and I was forced into semi-retirement for six months.
  • The value of taking sabbaticals well before you retire to start to understand what real retirement feels like.
  • Why the conversations that should be happening with financial planners and retirement coaches don’t happen.
  • How to use data to approach retirement given your unique background and circumstances.
  • Why so many people are working in retirement today compared to the previous generation.
  • Ways to think about and approach long-term care planning.
  • The unique roadblocks likely to affect people planning for retirement in the next 20 years.

Brilliantly, she translates the latest science on aging, nutrition, and exercise into simple actionable steps.

In our conversation, Christine shares the story of how she found her purpose by helping older people live healthier lives through better eating and physical activity, the undeniable links between nutrition, mobility, and wellness, and everything you can do to ensure the greatest quality of life for as long as possible.

  • Why managing sleep, stress, and social connections is so important.
  • Different approaches you can take to manage your well-being before adding another pill to your daily routine.
  • Why the low-fat approach from the 1970s and 80s persists–and why Chris would never recommend it now.

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Michael Finke, Professor of Wealth Management and the Frank M. Engle Distinguished Chair in Economic Security at the American College. He’s the Director of the Granum Center for Financial Security, and he’s been my professor a few times throughout my career.

I’ve always been a huge fan of his academic, unbiased approach, and you’ve undoubtedly seen Michael’s work featured here in our Weekend Reading for Retirees email series over the years. He’s published over 50 peer-reviewed articles and is widely quoted in many leading consumer publications.

In 2021, he co-authored a research paper titled, Guaranteed Income: A License to Spend with David Blanchett, a previous guest of the show, and also co-hosts the Wealth, Managed podcast with David as well. He’s been a tremendous resource to me and many others, and I’m thrilled to talk to him today.

In our conversation, Michael and I talk about how our eating and investing habits are so intertwined, how to find true happiness and your purpose in retirement, and how risk factors into your income planning, regardless of your risk tolerance.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How Michael’s first career as a food consumption researcher influenced his economic perspective–and the correlation between healthy eating and investing.
  • Why our society gets so distracted by outliers in economics and politics.
  • How risk aversion influences everything we do in investing and retirement.
  • Why annuities are being used more and more for wealth accumulation instead of lifetime income–and how this is changing the perception of annuities.
  • Why so many people can’t stand to see the numbers in their bank accounts get smaller in retirement–even if they’re overfunded.

My guest today is Dr. Dawn Carr. Dawn is the Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of the Claude Pepper Center in the College of Social Sciences and Public Policy at Florida State University and a former researcher at the Stanford Center of Longevity.

She is the co-author of the book, Gerontology in the Era of the Third Age: Implications and Next Steps, where she outlines the key factors that bolster older adults’ ability to remain healthy and active for as long as possible. She digs into the complex connections between health and active engagement later in life, focusing on the benefits of paid work, volunteering, and caregiving–and how staying active helps us maintain our cognitive, psychological, and functional well-being.

In our conversation, Dawn shares how losing her mother and grandmother within a month of each other changed her life, how people’s lives can truly transform for the better during the third age, and three things you can do right now to live a longer, happier life.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • What Dawn learned studying the science of aging by working with very sick older adults.
  • What the “third age” is–and why it’s so critical that we make the most of it.
  • How to focus on inner connection, get vulnerable, and dig into what truly matters most to you in life.
  • Why working part-time (or volunteering) has so many of the protective health benefits of full-time work without the same level of commitment.
  • Why nations like Japan experience some of the best longevity in the world–and how we can apply those lessons to our own life.

Today, I’m talking to former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Robert “Rocky” Bleier. Rocky is a 4x Super Bowl champion, the Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart recipient, and the author of Fighting Back: The Rocky Bleier Story and Don’t Fumble Your Retirement.

Rocky has made a massive impact on people’s lives as a parent, grandparent, serviceman, and Pittsburgh Steeler–and it was an honor to talk to him today in anticipation of his upcoming speech at his alma mater, Notre Dame.

In our conversation, we get into the big lessons Rocky learned about teamwork and leadership from his college football days at Notre Dame, how his experience in the army translated to his life in the NFL, and how we build a legacy through our actions–and what we teach–for future generations.

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Jordan Grumet. Jordan is an associate medical director at JourneyCare Hospice, a financial blogger turned host of the award-winning Earn & Invest Podcast, and the author of Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor’s Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life.

In his book, he shares what the end of life can teach us about the secret to financial independence and how to make every moment count. People have so many questions about money, whether it’s better to save for the future or enjoy what we have earned today, and we’ll discuss some of those age-old questions on today’s podcast.

In our conversation, we dig into how death has informed his unique perspective in finance, why the questions so many people ask at the end of their lives are the ones you should be asking right now, and the tactics and strategies you can use to be more intentional about both your money and your time.

  • How losing his father at the age of seven informed Jordan’s perspective on finance.
  • What Jordan learned from talking to hospice patients about their successes, failures, and what they still aimed to accomplish with the life they had left.
  • Why Jordan doesn’t believe in the YOLO mindset–but has become a lot less anti-YOLO through his work.
  • Why net worth almost never comes up when talking to people who have a limited amount time left–and how this shows us what really matters.
  • How to create a fixed-time schedule that frees you up to focus more on what matters most to you.
  • Why Jordan thinks people who embrace the FIRE movement have the same problems as those who save for 30 years, then can’t spend.
  • Who to talk to when you need to make end-of-life choices.

Today, I’m talking to Steve Lopez. Steve has been a writer for the Los Angeles Times since 2001 and a four-time Pulitzer Prize finalist. He’s won over a dozen national journalism awards and three local news Emmys, and he’s written three novels, including The Soloist, which was adapted into one of my favorite movies.

In Steve’s new book, Independence Day: What I Learned About Retirement from Some Who’ve Done It and Some Who Never Will, he explores the meaning of work and how it defines us in a combination of memoirs, interviews, and guidance.

The book features conversations with a wide variety of people, including some who chose not to retire (like director Mel Brooks) and those who simply can’t retire, as well as aging scientists, geriatric specialists, and psychiatrists.

In today’s conversation, Steve and I talk about what it means to live with purpose and passion, how to tell which of the five categories of retirees that you fall into, and the big financial trends we should all be thinking about as the world around us changes.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why retirement isn’t necessarily about recreating your identity, but bringing a sense of identity with you into your next act.
  • What Steve learned from retirees who didn’t have enough structure when their primary careers ended–and from guys like Mel Brooks and Norman Lear, who are happily working in their 90s and 100s.
  • How boomers entering retirement with medical debt, climate change, and other factors are going to impact life for all of us, regardless of age.
  • What happened when Steve told his wife that working from home during COVID was a preview of retirement–and how they resolved the conflict that came from it.
  • What it truly means to go where life is and do what replenishes you.

Today, I’m talking to Bob Carlson–America’s #1 retirement expert. Bob is the editor of Retirement Watch, a senior contributor to Forbes, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Fairfax County Employees Retirement System.

He’s written several highly influential books, including The Essential Guide to Retiring in the 2020s, and Where’s My Money?: Secrets to Getting the Most Out Of Your Social Security.

In this conversation, Bob and I get into the risk factors that can potentially derail your retirement at the last minute, the obstacles making retiring in the 2020s more challenging than they were in the early 2000s, and what you can do to minimize money stress and have a successful retirement.

We then set aside quite a bit of time to answer your burning questions about Social Security, including how to maximize your lifetime benefits, manage longevity risks, and how to plan for a future in which Social Security itself is set to run out of money in 2033.

Today, I’m thrilled to welcome Robert Laura back to the podcast. Back in 2020, we had a great conversation about the ways COVID was impacting retirement. Now, we’re shifting gears from a “No-Regrets Retirement Plan” mindset to redefining retirement and improving our retirement intelligence.

Robert is the founder of RetirementProject.org and Naked Retirement. As the Retirement Activist, Robert is committed to changing the way people think about and prepare for every aspect of retirement. In his nationally syndicated columns at Forbes and Financial Advisor, he challenges the status quo of traditional retirement planning. His tremendous work also frequently appears in the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Investor’s Business Daily, The Street, and many other publications.

In this episode, we dig into Robert’s Retirement Quotient (RQ) test and what he’s learned throughout his career, studying why some people succeed and some fail in retirement from an individual–not a financial–perspective.

You’ll also learn why so many people underestimate just how intense retirement can be, why retirement is all about envisioning the life you want, and removing the negative stigma that the idea of retirement means happiness is over or that you’re put out to pasture.

GET A FREE ACCESS TO ROBERT’S RQ TEST AND JOIN A GREAT DISCUSSION.

Here's all you have to do...

Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes. Step 2.) Send an email with your username to info@howardbailey.com, and we’ll provide that to you free of charge!

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How to use the RQ test to assess your retirement readiness.
  • Why so many retirees suffer in silence despite being financially stable.
  • Why the “honeymoon phase” of retirement can be such a dangerous time.
  • How to create a retirement plan when you don’t really want to retire.
  • How retirement reorients work, helps us find new communities, and forge new connections in the outside world.

Today, I'm thrilled to be speaking with Burt Malkiel. You probably know him as the author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street, originally published 50 years ago and is now in its 13th edition. In the book, he made a compelling case to make index funds the core component of one's investment portfolio. Keep in mind that index funds weren’t publicly available at that time.

Having written one of the most influential books in the history of investing is an extraordinary achievement. And Burt's accomplishments are many, including several lifetime achievement awards from professional investment organizations.

Burt is the Chemical Bank Chairman's Professor of Economics at Princeton University. He has also served as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers, president of the American Finance Association, the dean of the Yale School of Management, and spent 28 years as a director at the Vanguard Group.

It was such an honor to have Burt on the show, and I'm so excited to share our conversation with you. You'll hear how he got to where he is today, from his humble beginnings as a poor kid in a Boston tenement house to his published work that transformed investing forever. He'll also share his thoughts on how today's inflation compares to the 1970s, the challenges we face to get it under control, and so much more!

GET A FREE COPY OF BURT’S BOOK, A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET.

Here's all you have to do...

  • Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes.
  • Step 2.) Text BOOK, that’s B-O-O-K to 866-482-9559 for a link to our book request page, complete the form and we will ship you the book for free. It’s that simple!

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why Burt believes education is so important–even though neither he nor I ever woke up excited to go to school.
  • Why Albert Einstein called compound interest “the eighth wonder of the world.”
  • How A Random Walk Down Wall Street slowly but surely changed investing as we know it today.
  • What makes financial planning for growth and planning for preservation so drastically different.
  • How to invest in individual stocks and make bets on businesses you believe in without putting your money at risk.
  • How Burt structured his portfolio to generate safe, reliable fixed income once he needed to start taking RMDs.
  • How high net worth individuals often get into financial trouble.
  • How Burt thinks our current era of inflation compares to the stagflation of the 1970s–and why he’s pessimistic about our ability to get inflation under control.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Joe Casey back to the podcast. Joe is an Executive Coach at PEC and a Managing Partner at Retirement Wisdom, who helps people design their lives following their corporate careers to successfully navigate their transition to retirement.

In this new book titled, Win the Retirement Game: How to Outsmart the 9 Forces Trying to Steal Your Joy, he walks retirees through the obstacles they're most likely to face in the next chapter of their lives. Tackling issues such as boredom, uncertainty, and drifting by helping them craft specific strategies to tackle these problems head-on.

In today's episode, we dig into what Joe's learned from working with people from all walks of life. We talk about the difference between left-brain financial planning and right-brain life planning and why so many advisors end up having to unwind what should have been "perfect" retirement plans.

We'll also talk about how to cast off pre-retirement mindsets that won't serve you once you've transitioned out of your primary career and much more!

  • Why Joe sees retirement as a game–and why most retirees don’t actually want to kick back, relax, and withdraw.
  • Why so many people find themselves in a state of shock or identity crisis when they retire–and how “soft” conversations about retirement make this transition less uncomfortable.
  • How boredom paralyzes, scares, and frustrates us as we approach retirement–and what happens when we discover newfound passions.
  • What to do in the meantime as you wait for an opportunity to recharge your energy or artistic juices between career and retirement.
  • How to get retirees out of the habit of consuming 40+ hours a week of television.

Today, I'm talking to Bob French–one of the leading lights in the world of retirement research. Bob is the Director of Investment Analysis at McLean Asset Management, where he works directly with clients to help them understand how their investments fit in a broader picture.

Bob joined the team at Retirement Researcher, where he works with a couple of our favorite podcast guests, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia.

His work in the field of retirement truly serves his readers and takes a genuinely academic approach that helps investors to reach their retirement goals.

We'll also discuss how you can cut through the noise from financial media outlets so you can build a retirement income plan with confidence and peace of mind, even in today's investing environment and much more!

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why retirement planning and investment planning are not the same thing.
  • How Bob answers client questions about portfolio performance.
  • Why the woeful state of financial media is Bob’s biggest frustration with the industry.
  • When to use buffer assets, reserve strategies, working capital strategies, and other financial tools as part of your retirement planning.

Today, I’m talking to Bradley Schurman. Bradley is the founder and CEO of The Super Age, a global strategic advisory firm that helps people tap into the economic power of “super-agers”–the older populations that will soon outnumber younger people in economies worldwide.

In his book The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny, he explores how these changing demographics will affect government and business, touching all of our lives. He warns us that our failure to prepare for an aging world could lead to economic stagnation, more isolated populations, and accelerated decline. He also outlines how we can harness this generation’s skills and talents to enrich everyone’s lives for years to come.

In our conversation, we discuss why he believes the Super Age presents an extraordinary challenge and opportunity for our world–and how this impacts our notion of “retirement.”

We discuss how the Super Age will change our world for at least the next 25 years, the links between aging and inflation, and the private-sector innovation and public-sector adjustments that will define this transition for so many of us in the years to come.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How Super Age nations are guaranteed to create massive socioeconomic change all over the world.
  • Why our definition of retirement is currently changing in real-time.
  • What makes someone a Super Ager–and how these traits keep older people healthier, more active, and better-connected.
  • How changes to our economy are creating communities that look more like the families of the early 20th century.
  • What Bradley expects to see happen to Medicare and Social Security to address these demographic changes.
  • The factors that define our longevity–and what people are looking for as they seek out stability in this highly disruptive period.

He’s won numerous teaching and research awards, including the William F. Sharpe Award, written textbooks, and is a former director and chair of the investment committee of Western’s alumni endowment fund.

On top of all of that, he’s published over 50 articles in journals such as the Journal of Financial Economics, the Journal of Finance, and the Financial Analysts Journal. His list of accomplishments are incredible, and I’m thrilled to have him on the show today to dig into his wisdom.

Through this work, he allows us to explore what the perfect portfolio might be–and shares fascinating information about how we invest today.

In our conversation, Steve and I discussed how he chose the 10 innovative investors who became the focus of his new book, how to take distinct investing approaches, and create a “super portfolio.” We’ll also dig into what goes wrong in so many conversations between investors of all ages and their financial advisors and much more.

My guest today is Professor William Goetzmann. He’s the Professor of Finance and Management Studies at Yale’s School of Management, the faculty director of the International Center for Finance, and the director of the SOM Executive MBA in Asset Management.

He’s also a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research and has served as the president of the Western Finance Association and the European Finance Association. He’s an expert on financial markets and securities, investment strategies, investor behavior, and financial history, and the author of several books.

In his most recent book, Money Changes Everything: How Finance Made Civilization Possible, he explores the role money has played over the course of human history–and how it will shape the future.

In our conversation, we’ll explore the history of finance and where we’re at today. We dig into the actual function of finance and how today’s economy compares to others from the past. You’ll also hear why Will believes Ethereum could be more than just a typical blockchain technology and so much more.

Today, I’m speaking with Alex Murguia. Alex has worked to turn Dr. Wade Pfau’s framework for retirement income planning into a quantifiable retirement income model, and the Retirement Income Style Awareness (RISA) Profile is the result of his hard work.

Before creating the RISA® Profile, Alex graduated from George Washington University with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and served as a research fellow for the National Institute of Health before pursuing a formal career in finance. He joined McLean Asset Management as a scientist-practitioner and launched a financial planning software company, but soon found himself disillusioned by the lack of tools individuals could use to chart a course to a successful retirement, leading him to where he is now.

In today’s episode, you’ll find out how the RISA® Profile can help answer some of your most pressing questions when it comes to retirement, why we’re biologically incapable of making sound financial decisions without a process in place, and why financial planning and retirement planning are not one and the same.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • The common questions from many retirees that inspired Alex, Dr. Wade Pfau, and Bob French to create the RISA® Profile.
  • How to confidently do your own research when it comes to investing and retirement planning.
  • How strategic planning helps protect you from biased and irrational decisions.
  • When (and how) to assess your financial plan and asset allocation.
  • Alex’s response to one of our Weekend Reading subscribers looking for guidance as a conservative investor.

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Cindy Hounsell. Cindy is the President of the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER), a nonprofit working to help women secure retirement income and educate people about the inequities that disadvantage women when they retire.

You may have encountered Cindy’s amazing work in a wide variety of publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes/PBS Next Avenue, Barrons, U.S. News and World Report, CNN, CNBC, and NPR’s 1A, All Things Considered, Morning Edition and Marketplace. She’s also been named as an Influencer in Aging by PBS-Next Avenue, received a lifetime achievement award by the Plan Sponsor Council of America, and been named by Money magazine as one of its 40 Money Heroes.

In our conversation, Cindy and I dive into the major shifts in women’s finances and retirement today. We discuss the pros and cons of saving for retirement as a woman, how things are changing in the era of stay-at-home parents of both sexes, and what all women should know about creating a financial plan.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How Cindy’s own experience at an airline that froze pensions inspired her to launch a career in retirement.
  • What you can do for your children and grandchildren to help them become more financially literate.
  • Why it’s so important to get your paperwork in place, no matter how good your relationship (or life) seems right now.
  • What you should know about the retirement-related bills currently moving through Congress.
  • What Cindy would like to see happen in the years (and decades) to come to empower women when it comes to their own finances.

Today, I’m speaking with Chris Farrell. Chris is a leading expert on the subject of working into the years we once called traditional retirement. In his most recent book, Purpose and a Paycheck: Finding Meaning, Money, and Happiness in the Second Half of Life, he debunks the myth that aging populations are a burden on our economy–and demonstrates how “retirees” can create, innovate, and stay engaged.

You may have encountered Chris’s work as a journalist for PBS Next Avenue and the Star Tribune, a contributor to Bloomberg Businessweek, The New York Times, Kiplinger’s, and other publications. Or perhaps as a commentator on Marketplace Morning Report, or as the host of Conversations on the Creative Economy on Minnesota Public Radio. I’m a big fan of his work and thrilled to chat with him today.

In this conversation, Chris shares the story of how he went from being a merchant seaman to getting his graduate degree at the London School of Economics, why aging populations aren’t dead weight, and how retirees can discover newfound purpose–and make a difference–while contributing to the economy later in life.

One more thing before we get started. We’ve got a bunch of copies of Chris’ book, Purpose and a Paycheck: Finding Meaning, Money, and Happiness in the Second Half of Life and we're going to send them out until they're all gone!

Here's all you have to do...

  • Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes.
  • Step 2.) Text BOOK, that’s B-O-O-K to 866-482-9559 for a link to our book request page, complete the form and we will ship you the book for free. It’s that simple!

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • What led Chris to become so interested in writing about retirement, happiness, meaning, and purpose.
  • How an aging population and a low birth rate are fundamentally shifting our economy.
  • Why more people in their 50s and 60s are starting businesses now than ever before–and why so many people who opt for traditional retirement “unretire” within just a few years.
  • How retirees can pass on knowledge to younger generations and leave behind a personal and professional legacy.
  • The importance of budgeting for health care coverage for retirees looking to bridge the gap when retiring before age 60.

Today, I’m talking to David Walker. David served as Comptroller General of the United States under both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Since leaving government in 2008, he has been focused on spreading awareness and talking about the national debt. He was the subject of the film I.O.U.S.A., named by Roger Ebert as one of the best documentaries of 2008, and is the author of a number of books, including Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility.

I saw David speak back in 2010, and I’ve always been a huge admirer of his work. He’s a huge believer in the importance of reeling in our debt. In his new book, America in 2040: Still a Superpower? A Pathway to Success, he compares the United States to the Roman Empire in decline and the steps that we can take to avoid that outcome.

In today’s conversation, David and I dive deep into the matter of the national debt. You’ll learn not just why David thinks debt matters, but how it impacts us as individuals–and what we can do about it. You’ll learn about how our national debt, high taxes, and inflation are all inextricably linked, the policies that need to change, and how to factor the challenges that might come into your retirement plan.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why David believes a constitutional amendment is the only thing that might get our national debt under control.
  • How debt contributes to out of control inflation and recession.
  • Why taxes are all but guaranteed to go up so long as we fail to address our national debt.
  • What needs to happen to reel in healthcare and education costs.
  • How David has planned for retirement–and what retirement means to him.

Today, I’m talking to Chip Conley. Chip founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality at the age of 26, turned it into the second largest boutique hotel brand in America, and sold the business 24 years later. Soon after, the founders of Airbnb came to him for advice, and he joined them as their Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy before settling into a role as their Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership.

He’s also the founder of Modern Elder Academy, the world’s first “midlife wisdom school,” with a campus in Baja California Sur and one soon to open in Santa Fe. In his most recent book, Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder, Chip writes about the value of humility, emotional intelligence, and wisdom–and how companies like Airbnb benefit from skills that can only come with age.

In this conversation, Chip and I discuss the identity crises that come with exits of all sizes and the lessons he learned by joining Airbnb, how our calling evolves over the course of our lives, and how to find (and take advantage of) the incredible opportunities that life transitions give us.

  • What it means to be a modern elder.
  • The difference between calling, purpose, and meaning.
  • How Chip is working to teach wisdom at Modern Elder Academy.
  • What midlife is and isn’t–and why Chip believes “midlife crisis” to be a misnomer.
  • The equations that can help us identify (and learn from) our emotions.
  • Chip’s advice for anyone over the age of 50 who’s thinking about taking a big leap.

Today, I’m speaking with Professor Jeremy Siegel. Jeremy was the Russell E. Palmer Professor of Finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania for many years and now is the Senior Investment Strategy Advisor to WisdomTree. He makes regular appearances to share his expertise on the state of our economy and financial markets. You’ve likely seen him on CNN and CNBC, or perhaps you’ve read his columns for Kiplinger’s Personal Finance or Yahoo! Finance.

Jeremy has been called one of the best stock watchers alive by a number of major media outlets. With interest rates and inflation seemingly out of control right now, Jeremy’s expertise has been in great demand, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to have the man who identified what we now know as Siegel’s paradox on the podcast.

In this episode, you’ll hear his thoughts on how we should be consuming the information that we see on TV and read online to make better decisions, the circumstances that have put us in what he defines as a “mild recession,” and the moves he’s making at WisdomTree, where he’s been managing funds for almost twenty years and so much more!

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why Jeremy doesn’t believe the markets are anywhere near as overvalued as they were at the height of the 2000-era dot com bubble.
  • How to consume information about the markets to make better investment decisions.
  • Why markets overreact to both upturns and downturns in our economy.
  • Why so many mutual funds underperform against the index–and how to seek out passive and low-cost growth opportunities.
  • Why real estate has historically been much more volatile than it looks right now and may be a poor choice for diversification.

Today, I'm talking to Ryan Frederick. He's the founder of SmartLiving 360, where he helps people answer the tough questions that come with living in an age where everyone is living longer. He believes that while retirees can thrive, their lifestyle choices will have more impact than ever before on just how healthy and satisfying their retirement will be.

Ryan has been focused on the challenges facing people who relocate in retirement for much of his life. In fact, he lived in a senior housing community in his twenties! With over 15 years of experience, he's become an innovator, developer, and strategy consultant in aging and longevity. His work has been cited in Forbes, The Washington Post, and several other outlets.

In this episode, Ryan and I dig into many great topics, including the age segregation that has unfortunately come to define the senior living industry. We'll also discuss how empty nesters and retirees can find a happier and healthier place in retirement when looking to make a move and how to take the principles of Blue Zones and apply them to your own life, even if relocating to Greece isn't in the cards.

  • What Ryan learned from residing in a senior living facility in his twenties.
  • Why Ryan says “place” instead of “home” – and how the pandemic has made it so much harder for people to find real connection.
  • How to use the SmartLiving 360 assessment to determine if you’re thriving in place–and what to do if you’re not.
  • Why people are least happy in their 40s and 50s and often find happiness again later in life.
  • How to conquer your fears when you know you need to make a change, but don’t yet know what that change should be.
  • The apps Ryan and his wife use to track their activities and ensure they’re spending their time wisely

Just a few short weeks ago, on the Retire with Purpose podcast, I spoke to author and Master Career Counselor Richard Leider. If you missed our first conversation, you can check it out here.

In that episode, we talked about the Napkin Test: a powerful tool that Richard created to help people clarify their purpose and find fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.

After our interview, Richard proposed that we have a listener join us for a special live episode. He offered to give one of our listeners the unique opportunity to take the Napkin Test with his guidance, and I couldn’t have been more excited.

With that in mind, I’d like to introduce you to our special guest, Yvette Francino. Yvette is one of our subscribers and the founder of Carpe Diem Day, where she blogs about living life to the fullest and inspires others to do the same.

In this special episode, which was recorded Live on Facebook, you’ll get to hear Yvette in conversation with Richard as they use his powerful framework in real-time. You’ll learn how the Napkin Test works in practice, and the questions you and a partner can ask to discover your gifts, passions, and values, regardless of your age or career.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • The four characteristics of the Good Life.
  • Why so many retirees who move to the most beautiful places on earth end up moving back home within a year.
  • How Richard defines purpose as we live it each and every day.
  • How the Napkin Test can help you reflect, connect, explore, choose, repack, and act as you search for purpose and a way forward.
  • How to unpack your life experiences as you create new ones.

Today, I’m talking to Richard Leider. For over 40 years, Richard has been a Nationally Certified Master Career Counselor at Inventure – The Purpose Company. Richard has been studying purpose (and the purpose of movement) for decades. He’s led expeditions around the world, climbed Kilimanjaro, and shared his insights in a powerful TEDx talk.

He’s also the author of 11 books, including three bestsellers. In his most recent work, Who Do You Want To Be When You Grow Old?: The Path of Purposeful Aging, he invites readers to grow old on purpose and chart a path to elderhood with choice, curiosity, and courage. He explores why purposeful aging is both accessible to all and fundamental to health, happiness, and longevity–and how to authentically become the person you were always meant to be.

I was introduced to Richard’s work by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, and now I’m a huge fan. In our conversation, we discuss the expeditions he’s led in Tanzania, how he’s helped people to find their new purpose and meaning in their post-career lifestyle, and how to reframe your life to focus on your greatest gifts.

Today I’m talking to Richard Eisenberg. Richard started his career as a finance writer at Money back in 1978 and has been writing about personal finance, money, and retirement for decades.

He recently left his post as the Senior Web Editor of the Money & Security and Work & Purpose channels for Next Avenue. However, in what he calls his “unretirement,” he’s started writing a new column for MarketWatch, contributed to Next Avenue, and become the co-host of the Friends Talk Money podcast.

While some finance writers want to help rich people get richer, Richard has focused his career on helping others manage their money better and make smarter financial decisions. In a world where there’s so much more information, financial products, and opinions than ever before, Richard has a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record at sifting through the data to provide sound and relatable financial advice.

In this conversation, Richard and I discuss how to make sense of the tremendous amount of financial information and articles available today, the 5 keys to a successful semi-retired or unretired lifestyle, and how to discover new meaning and purpose in the next stage of your life.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How finance–and finance education–has changed over the course of Richard’s 40+ year career.
  • How to identify whether you can trust the author of a piece of financial writing and what to look out for.
  • The difference between a midlife crisis and a midlife financial crisis.
  • How Richard defines unretirement.
  • Why Richard decided to “unretire” and what fellow “unretirees” should be looking out for in their own lives.
  • The 5 keys to a successful ‘unretirement’.
  • How Richard defines purpose–and why he believes that everyone who can should unretire.

Today, I’m talking to John Cochrane. John is an economist and the Rose-Marie and Jack Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He’s a former Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the Department of Economics, and the author of the Grumpy Economist blog.

John’s work is focused on monetary policy and the fiscal theory of the price level, and he’s written at length about macroeconomics, health insurance, econometrics, and regulations, to name just a few topics.

In his upcoming book, The Fiscal Theory of the Price Level, he proposes the thesis that government debt is a core driver of inflation, that high interest rates can make deficits worse, and fiscal policy has to come with monetary policy to solve this problem.

In our conversation, John and I talk about why he’s still optimistic about the long-term outlook despite almost always seeing storm clouds on the horizon, why he doesn’t like to use the word capitalism, and how retirees can learn from his research to best protect themselves from rampant inflation in the years to come.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • How John maintains a positive attitude in the face of what can seem like neverending bad news and idiotic economic policy.
  • Why the entrepreneurial spirit of the United States feels more stifled than ever before.
  • Why risk management is so important for retirees right now.
  • The one thing John would do right now if he were Fed chairman.
  • John’s tax strategy advice for anyone looking to future-proof their portfolio.
  • Why John thinks the US dollar will continue to be the global currency.

Today, I’m talking to Ashton Applewhite. Ashton is an author, journalist, speaker, and activist who is on a mission to raise awareness and push back against ageism. She is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and Cutting Loose: Why Women Who End Their Marriages Do So Well.

Her work was inspired by a project in which she interviewed older people in the workforce, learning about longevity and happiness–and discovered that most of her ideas about late life were either off base or completely wrong. She became fascinated by why ageism is so prominent, who benefits from it, and what she could do to change people’s perceptions and ideas around it.

Before becoming an advocate against ageism, Ashton wrote the best-selling, mass-market book of 1983, Truly Tasteless Jokes, and was the first-ever author to have four books on the New York Times bestseller list at the same time. She’s been recognized as an expert on aging by the New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, and the American Society on Aging, and she’s contributed to Harper’s, the Guardian and many more.

In today’s conversation, Ashton joins the podcast to talk about why we’re so unnecessarily afraid of getting older, what drives those fears, and how to make aging a lot less fearsome (and a whole lot more interesting)–and the fascinating things she’s learned on her remarkable journey.

In 2010, Don "graduated" to a part-time schedule that gave him more freedom to pursue a wide variety of other interests. Since then, Don has also served on the Joint Investment Committee of Margaret A Cargill Philanthropies. He's been on the advisory board of the World Pension Summit and on the Scientific Advisory Board of Manifold Partners, LLC. He's also become an occasional contributor to the Financial Times, where he's the author of a column called The Art of Investing.

Don's passion is to teach others about personal financial planning, investing, and the economic and subjective aspects of happiness, especially as it pertains to life after full-time work–what some of us still call "retirement."

In his newest book, Life Two, he helps readers conquer their irrational fears, put themselves in the driver's seat, get an understanding of their financial situation, and take control of this extraordinary period of life.

In our conversation, Don and I talk about why your identity is not defined by what you get paid to do, the irrational fears so many people face as they transition into retirement, and how to find real, lasting happiness at every stage of life.

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Jim Dahle. Jim is a practicing board-certified physician and the founder of The White Coat Investor, where he writes about finance and investing specifically for physicians and high-income earners. After learning that he couldn’t trust the financial professionals in his life, Jim taught himself personal finance and investing, specifically with physicians and other high net worth individuals. He realized that no one was teaching doctors how to handle their money, and now he’s sharing the knowledge and resources he wished existed when he was starting out.

As Jim sees it, high incomes and wealth are not the same things, and the numbers agree with him. According to a survey conducted in 2016, 1 out of every 9 physicians in their 60s has a net worth of under $500,000. And one in four under $1 million–despite having collected substantial paychecks for 30 years.

In this conversation, Jim and I discuss why his specific knowledge is in such high demand right now, the financial challenges that are unique to physicians, and how medical practitioners can either learn to manage their own finances or find a financial advisor to help them build wealth and fund a successful retirement.

Today, I'm talking to Bruce Feiler. Bruce is a bestselling author of 5 books, including The Council of Dads, which was the subject of a TED Talk and the inspiration for the NBC drama series of the same name.

He's also the author of the column titled, This Life in the Sunday New York Times and has presented two PBS miniseries, Walking the Bible and Sacred Journeys.

Bruce's newest book is called Life is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age, and it is packed with great insights and perspectives that I know our listeners will enjoy. As time goes on, I feel like I'm always going through some form of life transition, and I've definitely noticed that most of the families we work with are usually in the thick of a lifequake of their own.

Needless to say, I'm thrilled that Bruce was able to spend some time on the podcast to share what he learned as he crisscrossed the country and collected hundreds of stories from Americans far and wide.

In our conversation, Bruce and I dig into what a life transition really is, what he learned from asking hundreds of Americans to tell him the stories of their lives, and how the periods of upheaval and unrest we face can lead us to growth and renewal.

She’s the author of 30-Minute Money Solutions: A Step-by-Step Guide to Managing Your Finances and the Morningstar Guide to Mutual Funds: 5-Star Strategies for Success and a prolific all-around writer on the topic of retirement.

In today’s conversation, we discuss the path Christine took into the world of finance. We dig into the benefits and drawbacks of being an individual investor and simple strategies you can apply right now to build a strong foundation to retire–no matter what stage of life you’re in.

And on top of that, Christine graciously answered several questions from our Weekend Reading subscribers on topics including asset allocation, cryptocurrency, inflation, and more. I thoroughly enjoyed having her on the show, and I’m sure you’ll get a lot of value out of this episode as well. Enjoy!

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Glen Robison. Glen is the author of Healthy Dad Sick Dad: What Good is Your Wealth if You Don’t Have Your Health? In his book, he shares the stories of two fathers who experienced very different retirements–and how he improved his own health along the way.

In a world where retirees are taking as many as 20 medications a day for preventable health conditions, and then miss out on opportunities because they’re too stiff and sore to enjoy life, Glen’s research has the potential to literally save lives.

In this conversation, Glen and I talk about the personal health crisis that changed his life and outlook, his personal mission to change how people take care of themselves, and the simple lifestyle changes that can help us bring our bodies into balance and allow us to enjoy life at every stage.

Today, I’m talking to Carl Honoré. Carl has been called the “global guru on the Slow Movement” by The Globe and Mail. He’s the international bestselling author of Bolder and In Praise of Slow, and also presented a TED Talk called “In praise of slowness” that has earned over 3 million views.

After reading an excerpt from one of Carl’s books from a previous episode of our Weekend Reading series, the wheels started spinning, but in a good way. And after doing some more research, I fell in love with his TED Talk and the story about speed-reading to his son–something I’ve certainly been guilty of–and I knew that I had to reach out to him so he could share the incredibly unique insights he has to offer with our audience.

In this episode, Carl and I discuss the slow movement and how it’s grown over the last 15 years, how to tell where speed might be hindering your performance or relationships, and how you can reconnect with your inner tortoise at any stage of life–including retirement.

Today’s guest is Dorian Mintzer. Dorian is a world-class retirement coach, a doctor of philosophy, and the founder of Revolutionize Retirement.

Dorian believes that our bonus years are a time to learn, grow, and evolve–and that we need to live our lives with intention, not regrets. She helps her clients discover their gifts, live their purpose, and make a difference in their world. As new parents in their fifties and sixties, she and her husband are also living proof that there’s no “one size fits all” transition, and that retirement is a journey and not a destination.

She’s also the co-author of The Couple’s Retirement Puzzle: 10 Must-Have Conversations for Creating an Amazing New Life Together, where she explores how couples can continue to earn money, stay engaged in life, and remain happy together.

In today’s conversation, we dive into what exactly it means to revolutionize retirement, how to navigate major life transitions (and why people come to her for help), and the difference between “getting old” and “becoming complete.”

Today, I’m talking to Dick (Richard) Weber. Dick is the founder of The Ethical Edge, a fee-for-service consultancy with a unique focus on life insurance. His company provides clients with a wide array of services, including life insurance policy management with both a technical and due diligence perspective on legal cases pertaining to life insurance.

Dr. Gillian Leithman, PhD is an adjunct professor at the John Molson School of Business, as well as a researcher and expert uniquely focused on helping employees as they transition from the working world into retirement.

She’s facilitated programs for a wide variety of businesses and organizations, including Bell Canada, TD Canada Trust, Telus, Business Development Canada, SAP, Moody’s, and the RCMP–just to name a few. And her work has been featured in Forbes, the Montreal Gazette, Reader’s Digest, the National Post and many more.

She’s extensively studied how workforces age and transition into retirement, and has an incredible amount of first hand knowledge from her many interviews with pre-retirees and retirees. On top of all of this, she’s also the co-creator of the Certified Professional Retirement Coach designation, which allows students to become certified retirement coaches.

In our conversation, Gillian and I talk about why she became so interested in retirement at such an early age in her own life, how our quest for work/life balance can create real problems once we retire, and the big takeaways from her workbook, Rewire to Retire: Five Crucial Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before You Retire That Have Nothing To Do With Money.

Today I’m speaking to Laurence (Larry) Kotlikoff. Larry is a professor of economics at Boston University, a New York Times best-selling author, and the president of Economic Security Planning, where he works to produce powerful personal financial planning tools.

For much of his career, including two Presidential runs in 2012 and 2016, he’s been uniquely focused on personal finance and economic reform. He believes that we have the power to improve our individual economic futures, as well as our nation and our planet’s–but that there are real challenges along the way.

In today’s conversation, Larry and I dig into the major problems facing the American economy in 2021, why higher taxes are all but inevitable (and why our government fails to tax so many people correctly), and how to evaluate Social Security to make the most of your potential benefits.

One more thing before we get started. We’ve got a bunch of copies of Larry’s book, Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security, and we're going to send them out until they're all gone!

Today, I’m speaking with Richard Haiduck. Richard is a real-life retiree not just living out their dream, but helping so many others elevate their experience in retirement. He’s challenged the boundaries of his own retirement, using the freedom of the blank slate to prioritize what matters most to him.

In his book, Shifting Gears, he speaks to 50 Baby Boomers about their journeys into the world of retirement. If there’s one thing he’s learned, it’s that retirees have an unbelievable amount of freedom and a wide range of choices, whether that means summiting Mount Kilimanjaro at the age of 70 after two hip surgeries or simply volunteering and reading books.

In today’s conversation, Richard and I talk about the artificial boundaries of retirement, how he found the people and stories he decided to include in his book, creating amazing family businesses, and the beauty of being able to walk away from what doesn’t serve you.

Today, I’m speaking with Bob Foley. Bob has helped launch billion-dollar companies, several nonprofits, and worked for many major brands in the country. His current venture and sole focus is Legacy Transition Coaching, where he helps his clients focus on the non-financial aspects of retirement, to let go of their corporate identities, and create a new life on their own terms.

Bob thinks about retiring with purpose and his work from a remarkably specific angle. He’s uniquely focused on helping answer questions of lifestyle, tackling issues of ageism, and navigating life and work after the loss of a spouse or partner–among many other issues affecting retirees today.

In this conversation, Bob shares the story of his unique journey into the world of retirement coaching, proposes new ideas and concepts for people transitioning out of full-time careers (especially when leaving the corporate world), and how to create more meaning, purpose and balance in life at any age.

Today, I’m speaking with Kary Oberbrunner. Kary is the CEO of Igniting Souls Publishing Agency. He’s also an author, coach, and international speaker who helps people clarify who they are, why they’re here, and where they’re going so they can become souls on fire, experience unhackability, and share their message with the world.

In my previous conversations with Kary, we’ve talked about his books, Day Job to Dream Job and Unhackable. However, this conversation is going to be a little bit different. I recently found a video he posted in 2018 called “Why is the Goal NOT Retirement?” and I knew that I needed to talk to him about it.

In this episode, Kary and I dig into his unique views of true retirement. We talk about the link between our jobs and our health, and the power of living a life with purpose and freedom at any age.

David McKnight is on a mission to protect your retirement savings from the impact of rising taxes. With over two decades of experience, David has helped put thousands of Americans on the road to the zero percent tax bracket.

He has made frequent appearances in Forbes, USA Today, New York Times, Fox Business, CBS Radio, Bloomberg Radio, Huffington Post, Reuters, CNBC, Yahoo Finance, Nasdaq.com, Investor’s Business Daily, Kiplinger’s, MarketWatch and numerous other national publications. On top of all that, his bestselling book, The Power of Zero, was recently made into a full-length documentary film.

In his new book, Tax-Free Income for Life, he provides his readers with a blueprint for a guaranteed, tax-free income stream built to last for the long run. He outlines how to create a proactive asset-shifting strategy to shield taxpayers from risk in order to maximize returns.

David’s previous appearance on this podcast was our most-downloaded episode, and I am thrilled to have him return for an encore. In this conversation, we discuss the tax plan we can expect to see from the Biden administration, what you can do now to insulate yourself from the impact of higher taxes down the road, and why income–not the size of your assets–matters the most in retirement.

He helps them become transformative thinkers, create adaptable plans, ask better questions, adopt great tools, and get unbiased feedback.

In his previous appearance on the podcast, we extensively discussed his last book, How Do I Get There from Here?: Planning for Retirement When The Old Rules No Longer Apply. We talked about how to set more meaningful goals when it comes to retirement, but I still felt like I wanted to go deeper.

That’s why I’m having George back on the podcast for another discussion. Today, we’re talking about how COVID has changed the nature of goals, and the big questions you should be asking to better understand what you want from life, both in and out of retirement.

Today, I’m speaking with Annie Duke. Annie is an author, speaker, and decision strategist. She is also known as the Duchess of Poker, and won a World Series of Poker gold bracelet in 2004 and was the leading money winner among women in WSOP history when she retired from the game in 2012.

She’s written a number of books on poker strategy and decision making, as well as an autobiography. In her newest book, Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don’t Have All The Facts, she uses examples from sports, politics, business, and poker to help people understand how to make better decisions and embrace uncertainty–and make sense of the disconnect between outcomes and decisions.

Today, Annie joins the podcast to talk about her astounding career in professional poker, and how it translates to making decisions in real life. We’ll also talk about the reasons why good decisions don’t always lead to good outcomes (and vice-versa), and how this can apply to your portfolio at any stage of life.

Today, I’m speaking with Dan Egan. He’s the Director of Behavioral Science and Investing at Betterment, where he integrates behavioral finance and passive investment management to help customers achieve their goals. The Betterment platform is designed to help make good behavior automatic and bad behavior difficult, and it’s helped his customers avoid reduced returns as a consequence of bad trading.

Using his background in Decision Science from the London School of Economics and deep knowledge of programming and statistics, he uses his work to explore the psychology of design, money, investing, spending, and randomness.

Dan was introduced to me by Brian Portnoy, one of my previous guests, and I’m excited to have a chance to speak to another expert in this unique field. Today, we talk about what behavioral finance is (and why it matters), why it’s human nature to make bad financial decisions, and who benefits the most from working with Robo-advisors as they grow their portfolios at any age.

She is widely recognized as an expert in the business, policy and retirement communities and is an award-winning actuary, futurist, executive and trailblazer.

For over 30 years, Anna Rappaport has been researching, writing about and shaping responses to the changing demographics of our society. Focusing on the future of benefits and implications of an aging workforce, she is widely recognized in the business, policy and retirement communities.

Anna’s article Reboot, Retire, or Rewire caught my eye recently when it was featured by Michael Kitces. In it, she explores what the future of phased retirement looks like and the many different directions that people are moving in, and reminds us that having a balanced “life portfolio” is worthwhile and important.

Today, Anna joins the podcast to talk about why retirement can’t be a permanent vacation, what the future of “traditional” retirement might look like, and what the last 16 years have been like for Anna, who has enjoyed a deeply satisfying phased retirement when she retired in 2004.

Fritz Gilbert blogs at The Retirement Manifesto, where he provides practical financial independent and retirement planning guidance for people within ten years of retirement. His articles are regularly part of our weekend reading for retirees, and I think he’s one of the best retirement writers working today.

After 33 years in corporate America, Fritz and his wife retired at the age of 55 in June of 2018, sold their primary home, and moved to a cabin in the North Georgia mountains when he’s not traveling the country in his RV.

Today, Fritz and I are talking about the big things he’s learned from his early retirement and second act as a retirement writer, the big regrets that so many retirees have and how to avoid them, and how to tackle the many challenges of retirement that don’t concern money.

Jim Bowman is the President of Life Operations at Advisors Excel, and someone I’ve known for many years. I’ve spoken to him for many hours about today’s topic - life insurance - well before we ever decided to record this podcast and his deep knowledge on the topic has proven hugely valuable to countless advisors - myself included.

Life insurance isn’t just about ensuring that your family has cash flow in the event that you pass away or sustain a career-ending injury. It can also be used as powerful investment, a source of tax-free income, a way to cover long-term care, and for cash management.

Today, Jim joins the podcast to discuss the major misconceptions surrounding life insurance, how to use life insurance as a protective policy and an investment tool over the course of your life and career, and the many different ways to put this asset class to work for you.

Sachin Patel is a functional medicine practice success coach, international speaker, and author. He believes that “The doctor is the future of the patient,” and that healthcare practitioners have a responsibility to keep people out of the medical system when possible, empowering them through education, self-care, and a new mindset.

Sachin founded the Living Proof Institute when he couldn’t find answers to his questions through conventional medicine. Exploring functional and lifestyle medicine dramatically changed his life, and he walked away from his formal training as a chiropractor to offer a different approach to patient care.

Today, Sachin joins the podcast to talk about the major problems he sees in the conventional healthcare system, how to integrate functional medicine into your healthcare practice, and why Sachin never wants to be retired in any conventional sense of the word.

Today’s guest is John O’Leary. John is an inspirational speaker, blogger, and podcaster, as well as the author of On Fire, a national bestseller. At the age of nine, John survived a fire that burned 100% of his body and left him with a one-percent chance to live. He fought extraordinary odds, won, and now lives his life driven to help others live more inspired lives.

In his new book, In Awe: Rediscover Your Childlike Wonder to Unleash Inspiration, Meaning, and Joy, he invites us to return to the joy of navigating life like a child by reconnecting with the five senses children innately possess.

I first saw John speak in 2019. He gave one of the most impactful, inspirational, and meaningful presentations I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been looking forward to having him on the podcast ever since.

Today, he joins me for a conversation about why his childhood experience is one of triumph and not tragedy — and what we can all do right now to shift our mindset, embrace positivity, and stay open-minded as we age.

He’s the creator of Jason’s Complete Solution for Real Estate Investors, a comprehensive system that gives real estate investors the education, research, resources, and technology to deal with their income property needs.

Jason’s system has evolved over time, and it’s once again changing - as much of our society is - as we face the challenges and major cultural shifts brought about by the COVID-19 novel coronavirus. He sees major changes coming in the world of real estate, and a profound need for investors at all stages of life, but especially retirees, to reposition their portfolios and their thinking.

Today, Jason joins the podcast to discuss the sweeping generational change that will come as the pandemic blows over, why it’s so hard to predict the future (or time the market) in the short-term, and his core strategy for successful real estate investing in good times and bad.

Today’s guest is John Tamny. John is a political economist, the editor of RealClearMarkets, the Vice President of FreedomWorks, and a frequent contributor to Forbes among a number of other publications.

His most recent book is The End of Work: Why Your Passion Can Become Your Job, where he explores why prosperity and innovation aren’t ending American jobs, but making them better. He brings a unique perspective not just to this moment in history, but to the concepts of work and retirement - and how we can use them to make the most of our lives while making the world a better place.

John joins today’s podcast for a more philosophical conversation about why he’s exhilarated, devastated, and saddened by this moment in history. We explore the history and nature of intervention, innovation, and entrepreneurship in America, what recessions really mean and how to think about them, and how all of this impacts not just your retirement, but the very idea of retirement altogether.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why John doesn’t believe that government intervention is a good solution to the Coronavirus crisis.
  • The lessons John takes from the rarely discussed major economic crash and recovery of 1920-21, why recessions should be seen as cures instead of problems, and the reasons he would have advocated against bailing out banks and auto manufacturers in 2008.
  • The reasons the massive government debt associated with the new stimulus package isn’t actually a problem - and why John would always prefer deficit spending over a balanced budget.
  • How LeBron James is a living reminder that retirement is becoming a dated concept.
  • Why China innovates despite substantial government intervention.
  • The reason John supports a return to stable money, even if it’s not gold - and why he thinks this will happen.

In fact, he’s the co-creator of the Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP) designation and coordinates its course curriculum!

His work has helped countless financial advisors, including myself, better plan for retirement needs and understand how to work with older clients.

However, for today’s conversation, I’m catching David at a truly interesting time in his life: his own transition into retirement. He joins the podcast to talk about why he decided to do it at the age of 66, how he continues to bring value to his community as he builds a bridge to retirement, and the many decisions - financial and otherwise - that come along the way.

Today’s guest is Daniel Crosby. Daniel is the Chief Behavioral Officer at Brinker Capital, where he helps organizations better understand the intersection between minds and markets. Daniel has more than 10 years of experience in the financial services industry and has published a number of bestselling books that serve as guides to building stronger advisor-client engagement with a focus on achieving better outcomes.

Daniel gets not just how markets work, but why people make decisions - both good and bad - as they invest and build financial plans.

In his book, The Behavioral Investor, he examines the sociological, neurological and psychological factors that influence our investment decisions and sets forth practical solutions for improving both returns and behavior.

All of these things make Daniel uniquely qualified to speak on today’s topic: COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus. With the markets down and fear and panic in the streets, Daniel lends his unique expertise to the financial challenges of this moment. We discuss the psychology of behavioral investing, why so many people make bad decisions during a downturn, and why we always act like we’ve never seen anything like this before - and what you should be doing with your money to best stay on track to live the retirement you want.

David McKnight is a champion for the American people. He’s not only warned us all about why we should expect taxes to get higher in the future, he’s also taught people how to be in the 0% tax bracket when you retire. It may sound impossible, but today, David’s going to walk you through exactly how to do it.

David has appeared in Forbes, USA Today, the New York Times, and on CNBC. His bestselling book, The Power of Zero, has sold over 140,000 copies. The updated edition, published in September of 2018, is now the number two most sold business book in the world. It’s even been turned into a full-length documentary film also entitled The Power of Zero, which we're going to spend some time talking about today.

Today, David joins the podcast to talk about why tax rates may double after you retire (and what you can do about it), how to protect your assets from future legislative changes, and the whens, whys, and hows of Roth conversions.

As empty nesters, retirees often find themselves in homes that are simply too big. With adult children out of the house, empty bedrooms, and projects that need to get done to keep the property in great shape, continuing to maintain a home that made sense for decades can start to feel like a financial burden and a source of real stress.

This is why so many retirees start thinking about downsizing - and when they do, I recommend they read John and Ingrid Sullivan’s book, The Ultimate Guide to Downsizing: Downsize Your Life to Upsize Your Lifestyle. John and Ingrid are the owners of Senior Downsizing Experts in Arlington, Texas, where they help boomers, seniors, and children of aging parents with moves that can be challenging and emotional.

Today, John and Ingrid join the podcast to talk about the financial and emotional benefits of downsizing, the unique challenges and crises they help retirees work through as they help them move out of what are often family homes with decades of history (and belongings), and how to craft a downsizing plan and find a uniquely qualified downsizing dream team to help you make your next years the best they can be.

Today’s guest is George Schofield – an entrepreneur, consultant, author, and public speaker who helps businesses and individuals develop new, smarter approaches to life planning and retirement.

George is one of PBS’ Top 50 Influencers in Aging and has written on retirement and financial planning for Fox Business, Yahoo! Finance, Nasdaq, MarketWatch, and Credit.com, among many other outlets.

He’s also the author of How Do I Get There from Here: Planning for Retirement when the Old Rules No Longer Apply - a guidebook to help retirees navigate their golden years in a time when life expectancy is longer, savings are slimmer, and people rarely hold one job for life.

We all know we need to talk to our parents about money. We all know that we need to get their affairs in order in case something happens, especially as they get older. However, life has a tendency to get in the way, we table these conversations for later, and we sweep them under the rug. This is a problem for many reasons, but no fact drives this home faster than a Fidelity study in which 69% of parents said they expected one of their children to manage their money, yet over a third of the children surveyed had no idea they were expected to fill that role.

Cameron Huddleston is on a mission to help facilitate these tough conversations. He’s the author of Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk: How To Have Essential Conversations with Your Parents About Their Finances. It’s an excellent, step-by-step guide to help you stop stalling and make plans with advice from Cameron’s own experiences as a daughter and financial expert, as well as other financial, legal, and elder care experts.

Today, Cameron joins the podcast to discuss the challenges she faced with her own aging parents that led her to write the book. We talk about why these conversations are so taboo (and what to do if your family pushes back on having them). She also gives a number of resources you can share with your parents to help you get a grasp on what their finances really look like, how to keep them protected from scammers in old age, and how to take action if your parents have already become impaired.

While many people devote time to travel after they retire, even more retirees are now finding new countries to call home - to enjoy an even better quality of life and standard of living.

In their mid-fifties, Keith and Tina Paul decided to leave Southern California to make Ecuador their home. Before retirement, Keith was the Chief Technology Officer for the University of Southern California Medical Center, and Tina owned her own neuropathic medicine practice in California. Since moving to Ecuador, they have also visited over 30 countries in the last year, as well as all 50 United States. They have a hugely popular blog, have appeared on HGTV’s House Hunters International, and continue to enjoy many of the comforts of their former home.

Today, Keith and Tina join the podcast to talk about why they decided to retire abroad in their mid-fifties, the qualities that a person needs to have to adapt well to retiring abroad, and the unique financial planning that makes their lifestyle both fun and sustainable in ways that would have never been possible had they stayed in California.

Almost every financial advisor faces a time in their career during which their clients’ spouses pass away, and many advisors struggle to know how to both provide support and guidance to their newly widowed clients’ surviving partners. In fact, as many as 70% of widows change financial advisors after the death of their spouse, and a lack of understanding is almost always the reason.

After Dr. Kathleen Rehl’s late husband passed, she set out on a journey to help empower widows, as well as the advisors who work with them. She is the author of Moving Forward On Your Own: A Financial Guidebook For Widows. Though many of the guests I’ve had on this podcast are authors, this is one of the few books that was fast, easy to read, and full of great insight.

Today, Kathleen joins the podcast to talk about how becoming a widow herself completely changed how she works with this demographic, how profound loss affects the decision-making process, and the common mistakes that get so many financial advisors fired after the death of a spouse. You’ll also hear stories about how Kathleen’s helped her own clients through this difficult time in their lives to pass their values, hopes, and dreams on to the next generation.

The word “retirement” inspires a lot of negative feelings in people of all ages, but especially baby boomers. More than ever, retirees want to be seen as youthful, want to continue to be useful, and want to continue doing something that gives them meaning and purpose.

Few people understand this better than Dr. Sara Geber. Sara is the author of Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers: A Retirement and Aging Roadmap for Single and Childless Adults. She brings an extensive background in psychology to her experience as a retirement coach, and her book provided me with a lot of insight into how I could better serve the families I work with day in and day out.

Today, Sara joins the podcast to talk about why retirement needs reinventing (and how it’s already happening), the most common mistakes solo agers make in trying to transition into retirement, and the many new options available as they enter this stage of life.

Sometimes a client comes into our office and thinks the way that we plan for retirement is kind of strange. Before we get into the weeds, I often want to talk about what money was like for them growing up, as well as what retirement really means to them. These clients ask, “When are we going to get to tax strategies? When are we going to get to income strategies?” We discuss all of those things, of course, but much of the philosophy behind how I help clients plan for retirement comes from the teachings of Mitch Anthony.

I’ve been inspired by Mitch since I was in high school. Mitch is the author of many books, including The New Retirementality: Planning Your Life and Living Your Dreams at Any Age You Want. I’ve been following his work for decades, gifted his books dozens of times, and I’m honored to have a chance to interview him.

Mitch joins the podcast today to discuss how he helps his clients find purpose in life as they plan for retirement, how changing attitudes toward aging has affected people in mindset, health, and longevity, and how to find a sustainable balance between vocation and vacation - no matter what stage of life you’re in.

Ken Wimberly hasn’t just gone bankrupt - he’s lived to tell the tale. After having success in the real estate industry, overspending and the Great Recession forced Wimberly to shrink his financial life and pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

As he rebuilt his financial life, Ken also founded Legacy of Love: a digital parent-to-child or grandparent-to-child journaling platform. It's a place to capture moments, save memories, leave lessons, document photos, or videos, voice notes, voicemails, and capture little moments of life that might otherwise pass with time.

Today, Ken joins the podcast to share the story of his financial mistakes and comeback, the power of digital scrapbooking, and the importance of passing along knowledge - financial and otherwise - to future generations.

As more and more adults of retirement age take on new challenges, embark on second-act careers, and pursue far more than just a life of cocktails and travel, the language around aging and retirement is changing. Few understand this better than Karen Sands, who is a true “new age retiree.”

In her book, The Ageless Way, Karen proposes that women choose not to deny nor be defined by their age, but to transcend it entirely. Through a blend of intimate storytelling, historical insights, and cutting edge ideas, she’s created a powerful guide and radical new vision for women of all ages.

Today, Karen joins the podcast to talk about why she’s busier now at 75 than she ever was in her twenties, how to silence your inner ageist to enter your visionary, innovative next phase of life, and why getting older isn’t just about avoiding disease and maintaining your health, but living with purpose at every age.

At some point in almost every single client meeting, we get asked how much health insurance is going to cost, what Medicare costs, how to prepare for long-term care expenses, what to budget for, and what additional coverage they should get.

The healthcare space is extremely complex, and that’s why Dr. Katy Votava is highly educated within it. A registered nurse with a Ph.D. in healthcare economics and nursing, she founded GOODCARE to help consumers, small businesses, and financial advisors make the best possible plan and live their lives as effectively as possible.

Today, Katy joins the podcast to tell the story of how her background as a medical caregiver helps her truly understand what people need to get great insurance, why the cost of healthcare continues to skyrocket (and what you can do to protect yourself from escalating fees), and why proper Medicare planning can be what saves you thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

Dr. Robert Delamontagne is a leading expert on the psychological aspects of retirement. He’s the author of the Retiring Mind series of books, in which he helps people manage the negative psychological effects they experience after retiring.

In today’s episode of the podcast, we’re digging deep into two books in the series. The first of these is Honey, I’m Home, in which he writes about the heart energy and why you should revisit it if you’re suffering from marital conflicts after retirement or afraid of being with your spouse or partner 24/7. We also talk about The Retiring Mind, where he writes about the psychological effects of retirement - and why 50% of retirees suffer from some form of emotional distress.

Today, Robert joins the podcast to tell the story of his personal and marital struggles six months after his own retirement at the age of 63, the tools and techniques you can use to strengthen bonds and stop conflicts from escalating in your relationships later in life, and how to navigate the common traps that retirees fall into as their professional careers wind down.

Richard Kado is the president of Genesis Financial Development. As part of the team that created the first fixed index annuity, he holds 15 patents on annuity products - more than anyone else in the marketplace - and works closely with Annexus to produce new fixed income products. At nearly 70, he’s still doing the work he loves in what he calls semi-retirement, staying very physically active, and spending lots of time with his family.

Many financial advisors have complex feelings about annuities, so it was an honor to talk with one of the creators behind these products about their unique benefits and drawbacks for so many retirees.

I met Richard briefly at the end of an event - right before he left to go heli skiing. Today, he joins the podcast to talk about solving problems for customers instead of businesses, the advantages of giving up the greatest growth opportunities in order to get protection and security, and the common mistakes financial planners make when talking about investment products.

Lots of retirement research comes from people who are trying to sell you products, but David Blanchett is not that kind of researcher. A CFP, CFA, and PhD, David is Adjunct Professor of wealth management at The American College of Financial Services, a leading contributor to the Wealth Management Certified Professional® (WMCP®) designation program, and the head of retirement research for Morningstar Investment Management, LLC.

For his authentic, impartial research, David has been called one of the brightest minds in financial planning by Money. He made InvestmentNews’ inaugural 40 under 40 list in 2014 and has had his work featured in the New York Times, PLANSPONSOR, and the Wall Street Journal, among many others.

I’ve been following David’s research and sharing it with colleagues and clients for years. Today, he joins the podcast to discuss the uncertainties that can set a financial plan awry, how to build a plan to protect you from the worst case scenario, and why changes in life expectancy have done more to reshape retirement planning than anything else in recent American history.

John Israel is the author and founder of The Mr. Thank You Project: A Journey to Elevate the Level of Gratitude on the Planet … One Card at a Time. Over the course of one year, John wrote five handwritten Thank You cards a day, every day, for 365 straight days.

In a world that many believe is less grateful and appreciative than ever before, John’s work has truly struck a chord with people, and he’s shared his experiences on ABC News, FOX News, iHeartRadio, Popsugar, and even in a TEDx Talk.

John’s work has had a transformative impact not just on how I live my life, but on the people around me as well. Today, John joins the podcast to share stories and lessons from the Mr. Thank You Project. We get into why John decided to take on this time and labor-intensive project, what makes a handwritten Thank You card a much more powerful expression of gratitude than sharing or commenting on social media, and how you can find your own “why” to inspire others to make the world a better place together.

Kris Van Der Pas-Norenius sold her successful business at the age of 55 - and learned a lot of things about retirement the hard way. In the years that followed, she studied and became certified with Retirement Options, then founded Next3rd to help others learn from her experiences and expertise.

At Next3rd, she blogs, connects with followers across Facebook and Twitter, publishes a newsletter, and gives speaking engagements to change how people perceive - and live through - retirement. She helps others cope with loss of identity in retirement, not knowing when it might be your turn, and how to live a purposeful, fulfilling life after your major professional career comes to an end.

I’ve been sharing Kris’s articles for a while now. Today, she joins the podcast to share the difficult questions she found herself asking after she retired, what she discovered about herself the moment she retired, why “rest and relaxation” is often anything but - and how to give, contribute, do, and be more in the last third of your life.

Like many people, Chris Hutchins was laid off during the financial crisis of 2008. However, instead of simply looking for work, he set out to make a name for himself.

Today, Chris joins the podcast to share the story of how he went from being laid off, to the CEO and founder of Grove. We also discuss how he discovered the transformative power of edtech, and how he's making it easier than ever to get honest, real advice in the financial field.

When Jim Owen was 70 years old, he saw himself as an old man for the first time. He was 25 pounds overweight. He suffered from chronic back issues, had two shot knees, and struggled with a frozen rotator cuff. He wasn’t happy, and he wasn’t comfortable - and when he walked into the gym, he couldn’t do a single push-up.

Jim had spent the last 35 years in the investment world. He served as a partner in and sold three firms, wrote a number of successful books including The Prudent Investor and Cowboy Ethics, and delivered 35 talks a year as an in-demand speaker for a decade. His grueling schedule doing what he loved took a clear toll on his physical health - and in retirement he didn’t want to lose what was left of his mobility.

Now, at 78, he’s in the best shape of his life. He weighs 50 pounds less than he did in high school - and can knock out three sets of 50 push-ups on command. His chronic pains have gone away, and he sees his best days as ahead of him.

Today, Jim joins the podcast to talk about his new book, Just Move, the journey he took to turn his physical health around, why exercise is the foundation of the art of aging well, and his mission to help fellow Boomers get active and live their best lives.

Jamie Hopkins is soon to become the Director of Retirement Research at the Carson Group - and he holds virtually every designation under the sun. He has been the Co-Director of New York Life’s Center for Retirement Income, a Professor of the Retirement Income Program at the American College of Financial Services, and helped to create the Retirement Income Certified Professional designation.

He was one of my professors as I was getting my education. He’s been featured in Forbes, Kiplinger, and served as a Retirement Mentor for Marketwatch. He’s contributed to dozens of journals on tax law and retirement income planning, and his newest book, Rewirement: Rewiring the Way You Think About Retirement, explores the difference between - and the different mindsets needed for - retirement income planning and saving for retirement.

Today, Jamie joins the podcast to talk about the lessons he learned as captain of the Davidson College swim team training alongside Michael Phelps (and how they shape his work as a financial planner), what he considers to be the greatest accomplishment of his life, why almost everyone is holding some form of digital currency, and how to find a retirement planner who isn’t just good - but a fit for your specific needs, situation, and challenges.

Hans Finzel hates the term retirement - and he really hates the idea that retired people don’t have anything to offer the world. He and his friend Rick Hicks are both PhDs and former CEOs who left their roles as they approached the age of 60, but they now spend their time conducting studies, researching, and writing.

In their new book, Launch Your Encore: Finding Adventure & Purpose Later in Life, they share real examples of individuals who have transitioned from full-time jobs to volunteer work, ministry, or even entire second careers. They want you to craft a game plan for life after your main career that will position you to succeed personally and make positive contributions to society - and never think about the idea of retirement the same way again.

Today, Hans and Rick join the podcast to talk about why hanging out on the couch for 30 years isn’t a viable option, the importance of passing the torch on to others, the dangers of losing touch with the outside world, and a variety of exercises you can use to envision - and realize - your second act, even as you’re still in your first. You’ll hear a number of stories about highly intentional, powerful encores - and how you can build a healthy, satisfying life in retirement.

Dirk Cotton was a senior executive at a Fortune 500 company. However, after retiring in 2005, he’s found himself busier than ever. He loves to do research, specifically retirement research, and publishes often on his blog, The Retirement Café. He’s also a Thought Leader at APViewpoint, Advisor Perspectives' online community of investment advisors and financial planners, and provides retirement coaching services in exchange for pizza, craft beer, and charitable donations, among other gifts.

As Dirk sees it, a lot of the best financial advice is only available to people who have lots of money - and that’s why the Retirement Café focuses on retirement planning for the unwealthy - or those with less than $100,000 in savings.

Dirk came highly recommended by Wade Pfau, and his work has proven highly valuable for his readers and his clients alike. Today, Dirk joins the podcast to talk about how his second act as a retirement coach and researcher began, the dangers in trying to predict the future, and the many factors that people often don’t understand or think about as they prepare to retire.

David Bach’s goal in life is to inspire a million women to be smarter with money. He’s the co-founder of AE Wealth Management, which oversees over $4 billion in assets, as well as the author of Smart Women Finish Rich, a word of mouth phenomenon that has sold over 1 million copies and is now entering its 63rd printing.

Unlike many financial books, it’s a nice, neat package that’s easy to understand - and one that I keep around for women and couples who are looking to learn how to create a secure retirement. It’s also a vital resource, as $39.6 trillion of the world’s wealth is now controlled by women, and that number is estimated to rise to $72 trillion as soon as 2020.

David is a very special guest and a great friend. I’m excited to have him on the podcast to talk about the recently updated edition of his book, the life lessons he learned from his self-made millionaire grandmother, and the unique challenges facing women in retirement. For both women facing retirement and the financial planners who might want to work with them, it’s a must listen.

Todd Tresidder effectively retired at the age of 35 to find a new purpose and to enjoy life day in and day out. He exited the hedge fund management industry to focus on giving impartial advice - unswayed by bias or products to sell - at FinancialMentor.com. There, he has been providing financial education resources, including a number of powerful retirement calculators, since 1998 - well before anyone else was truly in the online financial education space.

Todd has had a long, tough journey to get where he is today. He is rethinking the nature of what retirement truly means and the models we use to determine how much money retirees will need to live comfortably after they quit working their primary jobs. He’s also digging deep into why so many retirees become listless and unhappy when they stop working - and exploring the reasons so few people are thinking seriously about living fulfilled lives.

John Lanza and his wife asked a simple question when their first child was six months old: “How can we raise our kids to be money smart?

Trying to answer it made them realize that there were far more families trying to answer this question than just his. This led him to create The Money Mammals - financial education for children through books, apps, games, videos, and more.

His new book is The Art of Allowance - a short, practical guide for parents to raise money-empowered kids who know how to save, achieve goals, make smart choices, and distinguish between needs and wants. He’s been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Times. Today, he appears on Retire With Purpose to share stories from his own family and the power of teaching financial philosophy to children - and what he’s learned in the process.

For almost 20 years, three-time author John Leland has been writing about the many different sides of retirement for The New York Times.

Right now, more people are living past the age of 85 than any other time in history - and John set out to write a year-long series about them. He wanted to tell stories of people who fell in love in nursing homes, those who never remarried after losing their spouse or partner, people who were still together in old age, living with disabilities, facing illness, and more.

John expected this to be a series about loss. What ultimately came out of this series, however, is a book entitled Happiness is a Choice You Make: Lessons From a Year Among the Oldest Old.
