One More Round Podcast: Recent Episodes
Josh Norris
Go with us One More Round as we talk with business leaders and subject matter experts in many fields. This podcast is a mixture of inspiring stories, learning lessons and education on a variety of subjects.
Real estate decisions do not happen in a vacuum.
Buying a home, purchasing an investment property, selling appreciated assets, preparing for retirement, and protecting your family can all affect your taxes, cash flow, investments, insurance, and estate plan.
In this special crossover episode of One More Round, Josh Norris of Arrive Financial joins Danny Saucedo and Daniel Thompson of The Arizona Buzz on Housing for a practical conversation about how financial planning and real estate should work together.
Josh explains why a financial planner can serve as the “quarterback” of your financial team—helping coordinate your CPA, lender, real estate professional, insurance professional, estate-planning attorney, and wealth manager so everyone is working toward the same goals.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Financial planning for homeowners and real estate investors
• Preparing financially before purchasing a home or investment property
• Using cash, investment assets, or eligible retirement-plan resources strategically
• Capital gains, tax-loss harvesting, and selling investments
• Bonus depreciation, cost segregation, and depreciation recapture
• How real estate deductions may fit into Roth-conversion planning
• Why tax planning should consider today and retirement
• Life insurance, estate planning, and emergency preparation
• Establishing access to capital before you need it
• Why social-media financial advice may not fit your situation
• Speaking with licensed professionals before a problem occurs
Josh also shares how surviving heart failure and receiving a heart transplant at age 40 changed his perspective on life insurance, estate planning, and protecting the people who depend on you.
The biggest takeaway is simple: You do not need to have everything figured out before talking with a professional. The earlier you start the conversation, the more time and options you may have to prepare.

Most people think about taxes only once a year — when it is time to file. But real tax strategy happens throughout the year.
In this episode of One More Round, Josh Norris, ChFC, breaks down the difference between tax filing and tax planning, and why business owners, high-income earners, families, and retirees should be having proactive conversations before tax season arrives.
Josh covers common tax planning topics like retirement contributions, 401(k)s, Roth strategies, self-employed deductions, business purchases, tax credits, and why assuming you’ll be in a lower tax bracket in retirement can be a costly mistake.
This episode is for educational purposes only and is not tax, legal, or financial advice. Always consult your CPA, tax professional, or financial advisor for guidance specific to your situation.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why tax planning is not the same as tax filing
- Common mistakes people make with taxes
- How retirement contributions can affect taxable income
- Pre-tax vs. Roth strategies
- Why retirement income may still create a tax burden
- How business owners can think more strategically throughout the year
